I've noticed that if you capture a ship that has it installed, like a BUC ship, then it seems to be correct.

It's only broken if you actually try to fit it to your own ships.

No its broken for them too. The bug appeared about 7.1 beta 5, and at that time the Radar Visibility value wouldn't even display in the loadout tab. Come beta 6 and it did display but had the nan% value (and no actual effect).

My save has a massive Tempest (BUC evolved) empire and there are plunderer fleets with the functional Shroud (made before beta 5) those with just the Radar Range visible in the loadout page (beta 5) and those with the nan% Radar Visibility (beta 6 or later).

The Shroud mod installation routine used by NPCs and the Player is broken.

Ah, so the ones I captured are then ones that were created before beta 5, nice to know.

Thanks for the info, really helpful, but I'm guessing it'll be a long time before we get any kind of patch to resolve this since 7.10 is now released and the only other one I know of that was mentioned by Egosoft is 7.50.

Well they did one hot fix and this is obviously just a 'wrong' variable is being passed to the routine. Some typo, or some line of code got munged during an unrelated edit. I would think its more a 1) look, 2) oh that's not right, 3) fix and its back to the way its been through out all of X4. nan is the error code for NotANumber, so typo in the variable, the container is being passed and not its content, etc. Hard to see how it could be confusingly broken in something as simple as 'give me a negative % number from -60% to -70% and put that in the Radar Visibility variable.'
