A few levied Roman units are invisible.

**Enad** · March 13, 2015, 10:04 AM

Hi, I have an odd issue with some levied Roman troops. A hand full of them are invisible.
The most noticeable one is Legio. It is not, however, invisible for Roman based enemies who recruited them properly, which leads me to believe that this is an issue exclusively with levying. I cannot confirm though because I have yet to play as any Roman faction and I've only just encountered this with puppet states as the Sassanid Empire.

Like I said Legio units are invisible, but there a few cavalry units who are bugged as well. They don't have their proper unit card, it's the Legio unit card and in game they are invisible too(and during a battle loading screen they show up as my generals unit card for some reason).
I can get a more complete list of units affected but so far I've only noticed it with Legio units as well as 2 or 3 Roman Cavalry units. I'm not sure if this is specifically my game, an issue with levies game-wide or something else.

Does anyone else have this or know a fix to it?

Are u using any mods? Some units are invisible on campaign map - Scout Equites, and other units with attribute "Campaign Stealth" - Exploratores are among them as well

Also how much units u see in other armies depends on observers capability - spies see alot, priest/champions very little, generals smt in between

I think you're misunderstanding me. I'm talking about my own armies, and them showing up invisible in battle, as in they have no models. They show up fine in battle in enemy Roman armies.

Yes I am using a few mods, the only one related to units would be Radious's unit mod but this was happening before I decided to start using that. Otherwise, I'm just using a proper marriage mod and Dresdens Diplomacy mod.

If ur using mods then report this in proper mod topic this has nothing to do with vanila game....

As you may have noticed this game's community is pretty weird, it can get even worse in the official forums where you're not allowed to voice your complaint.

On topic: I would suggest verifying the game's cache through Steam's UI (right click the game in Steam, go to properties and then take a look at local files).
This might delete mod files so it might be wise to make a backup beforehand.

Like I said, this was the case before I used mods.

@Siefen - That was my first idea but it did not work.

So when u first launched the game - clean install and everything no mods whatsoever units were already invisible? Why didnt u report then?

What i would suggest u though is remove all mods, verify games cache then report if problem still persists. Until u have mods installed u wont know for certain what is causing this.

The thing is that even worst game release of CA -ETW didnt have invisible units on the field this is too big of a bug to miss it.

You know, there are so many more ways that you could have been helpful, but instead you chose the one way that you could, instead of trying to help OP, be a total jerk about it, accusing him of using mods, despite their second post in the thread stating that the problem has been there since before he installed any mods. You didn't even read his post. Next time you should do that, before you end up coming across the way that you did. Gotta say, as a newer member here, it doesn't reflect well on TWCenter's community when people disrespect others in this manner.

Same problem with levied Legio as you. Ignore Fanest, this is a basic vanilla bug.

**Fanest** · March 13, 2015, 12:42 PM

found it - bump this topic then http://forums.totalwar.com/showthrea...vy-(Battlemap)

I confirm OP. These are the units that I've found to be invisible

Levy Legio Comitatensese
Levy Scouts Equites - the horse is visible, but the rider is invisible

Do you have those same units in your army at the same time on the battlefield? I wonder if it's like Napoleon where if you had certain units of the same exact type opposing each other on the battlefield, they would show up invisible for some reason??

This bug does not depend on the army units of the opponent. Here's an example of the bug where I'm just fighting some barbarians. I'm playing as the Sassanids and I'm the only side that has Roman units.

The unit on the left is the legio, and the unit on the right (horse with invisible rider) is the scout equites. You can also see the their unit cards are incorrect.
