    Default 3.4 seems to increase "clone looking soldiers" memory problem

    I have to report the "clone looking soldiers problem" in the latest version..I know this is caused by the shortage of memory so sometimes all soldiers look exactly the same because computer can't process all units details (for example in normal situation confederate volunteer infantry soldiers have either hats or caps, but in bigger battles they all look exactly the same wearing black hats which I hate to be honest)
    I experienced that clone problem only with bigger battles before 3.4 version, but now playing 3.4, this problem happens in almost every battle..I mean 10vs10 units (not only infantry but canons&cavalry included) on medium unit size and I get a clone problem, while in previous releases I could play those (and bigger) battles without the clone problem and with all unit details (clone problem would only occur in bigger battles with 30 or more units involved on the battlefield)..this really annoys me, because in previous versions I would avoid playing bigger custom battles and the problem was solved but now I don't know what to do because those clones appear in almost every battle)
    I think that this probably has something to do with your latest 3.4 battle&unit details performance improvings but for me battles are not much smoothier than before, plus now they have also a clone problem which wasn't present so often before

    Canīt say this happens to me, but we have changed one union infantry model which affects only a few units, that they are displayed in a lesser quality. All other are untouched.

    Either the next available will be 3.5 or maybe a smaller fix/patch. In both should be included a small rework for unit details.

    ok thanks for your answer, I will then wait for the smaller fix or 3.5 version because as much as I hate seeing confederate hat-wearing clones I hate playing 5vs5 unit battles just to be able to see fully detailed looking acw units
    I'm not worried about occasional battle lags, only by those damn clones and I truly hope this will be fixed relatively soon..thanks

    no I haven't but I'm gonna give it a try and let you know if it works (altough I doubt it since I tried that in previous older versions when I wanted to play bigger battles, but maybe in this case it will do the trick)

    I can't believe it but turning unit detail settings to ultra worked and fixed the problem! you don't know how happy I am right now because I got rid of those pesky hats thank you! altough now I seem to have a problem with some union units (regular inf and NY germans) that have half grey-half blue caps front part of the cap is grey and the top&back of the cap are blue.. I will try to get a screenshot of them and post it here..

    I do have the same issue with the union regulars. havent seen the ny rangers in action but the confederate sharpshooters look weird too on my end.

    And yeah its right, turning the unit details from ultra to high solves the problem....at least for the union regulars. the sharpshooters just look strange. can anyone post a source for that model?
