Highlight/Outline on objects suddenly gone.

[Keasar]

I was playing and suddenly noticed that all the highlights/outlines around objects that I am pointing at with the cursor or loot bags dropped from enemies are suddenly gone. I dunno if this is a bug or if I accidentally touched something but I can't seem to get it back through the options or any relevant key maps that I can find.

Anyone know if this can be fixed somehow?

Also, to the devs, absolute f***** love the game and hope to see a Spellforce 4, please bring along the writers of the Spellforce 3 campaigns cause the story and characters have been stellar.

Hi, sorry to hear that you're having trouble with this.

While there is a setting for highlighting heroes, it shouldn't impact objects (though I'd still advise double-checking your settings, just to be sure).

Other things that may have caused this are driver updates or game updates. Have you updated your GPU drivers recently or checked some of the settings in your GPU software? If so, you might wanna try reverting those and see if it makes a difference.

When did the issue start? After a recent game update perhaps or just randomly out of nowhere? It if was after an update, chances are it's a bug, otherwise, as already mentioned, try to revert some general changes to your graphical settings (If you made any) and see if that helps.

If nothing helps, please report the bug here: https://redmine.thqnordic.com/projects/spellforce-3-fallen-god-community/issues/new

Hope you manage to fix your issue.

Hey! I restarted the game and it came back on again, so it sorted itself out more or less. Still an interesting bug which I will try to report as best as I can, I remember noticing it after a while so I can't pinpoint the exact moment it happened.

Also noticed it affected the "hero highlights" as well cause when I had rebooted the game, they were glowing absolutely brightest blue. So it seemed to have been a bug affecting everything involved.

Glad to hear that the issue is resolved :)

Please make sure you don't have any after-effects or post processed renderings by your GPU driver activated. That can cause these issues quite often.

Sadly i can't agree with you on this and you should take a look on this here:

I have heard similar things from other places, but as someone who jumped into Spellforce completely fresh, I have been loving it. I can understand if 3 doesn't follow the canon lore of previous games that it is probably disappointing then, however, I will say that I consider still the writing and characterisation pretty darn excellent. These are well written characters will good motivations, feelings, strengths, weaknesses, traumas etc. and I have been enjoying immensily to learn about them.

Plus with Fallen God I have been loving the way that the Trolls have been written as much deeper and complex people than the regular "Murgaburga smash rock with face". Spellforce 3, at least with it's depiction of races and characters, is refreshingly progressive and challenges a lot of the bored and tired stereotypes of race depiction within fantasy worlds. I like that a lot. :)

As I'm the one who made the video I'd like to clarify.

It's not that SpellForce 3 doesn't do some things right in this regard, it's the fact that the issues were completely, 100%, unnecessary, and a result of laziness - that's something we don't want to condone and support.

The story could have been pretty darn similar, even identical in most cases with no mistakes to speak of.
