:play_button: ISSUE EXPERIENCED

Two times now I have had in issue where the textbox showing the hero-descriptions from the three kingdoms-civs on the civ-selection screen, not the tech-tree, it shows up, and never dissapears. It overlaps everything and anything. Loadingscreen, minimap, end-game staticstics, main menu after game. Only way to make it go away is to reboot the game. I’ve had a very inconvinient cover where it covered the entire minimap, and one like in the photo where it only covered some of it.

:play_button: FREQUENCY OF ISSUE

This has happened twice, once with the Shu-hero description blocking everything, and the second with the wu one. I haven’t played much, but it has been every time I have played ranked and choosing and reading about these new civs.

:play_button: REPRODUCTION STEPS

Here’s the steps to reproduce the issue:

  1. queue up for ranked. not sure if you need to be queued for it to occur, I couldn’ t reproduce the issue by trying in skirmish-mode or by just reading un-queued now by testing for this post.
  2. open civ-selection screen, and hover over the unit-icons, specifically the hero-icon of one of the three kingdoms-civs. In the first case if I recall correctly it was the shu-hero textbox not dissapearing even when I was playing the Khitans. In the second instance, It was the wu hero-text while playing the wu. It’s probably since I was reading the tech-tree. I chose the civ, with “random civ” ticked off / crossed out, and then whent into the ordinary tech-tree to read.
  3. I didn’t notice the textbox until the loading screen for a 1v1 ranked game. Then the textbox never dissapeared after this. I don’t remember seeing the textbox while in the ordinary tech tree, but I don’t know if this was because I was reading elsewhere and didn’t see it, or if it was because it wasn’t there. At the end of the 1 minute count down I think I saw it (not sure). On the loading screen I definetly saw it, even when it was completely black, I saw it untill I exited the entire game.

:play_button: EXPECTED RESULT

exptected result is that this textbox goes away when the charachter-icons/ unit-icons aren’t hovered over.
