    Default Space bar bug in battle map?

    I dunno if this is a bug or not. But in RTW, when you hold space bar in the battle map, you are shown where the units you are moving will be at. Now in MTW2, whenever i press space, it only flashes where my units will be instead of like in RTW. ANyone experiencing this too?

    I have experianced this too. I dont think its that big of a deal though.

    How do you deselect units you have selected once your done with them.

    Uh just press enter.

    Hmm I thoguht its sort of a big deal cos i used it often in RTW. Its good to know where your units will exactly be after ordering them to move somewhere. Sometimes they don't keep formation or rank.

    I agree, this is a rather large pain as far as I'm concerned. Instead of a bold and easily seen position for my units; ala RTW; I now get a faint and flickering pink indicator. Very annoying.

    What GFX cards do you guys have? I'm wondering if it's an ATI thing or across all cards.
    I've an ATi Radeon x1900XT

    If you hold down the space bar longer than in RTW the flashing will eventually become less noticeable, although will never go away completely. At least it should be enough to know where to place the formations.

    Shift only shows the rough location. It doesn't show the exact placement of every single soldier, which is useful cos sometimes ur units change formation when u order them to move.

    Thats if you press shift. I don't find hte red diamonds that useful. What i meant is that if u hold space, by right there should be indications of where every single soldier will be at.

    I found that just by holding the key, there's an initial flash, and then half a second later the indicators will remain in place.
