:arrow_forward: ISSUE EXPERIENCED

:point_down: DESCRIBE THE ISSUE IN DETAIL (below). LIMIT TO ONE BUG PER THREAD.
Disabling “Cartography” in editor is bugged. The LOS with allies is still shared as if the tech was enabled.

:arrow_forward: FREQUENCY OF ISSUE

  • 100% of the time / matches I play (ALWAYS)

:arrow_forward: REPRODUCTION STEPS

:point_down: List CLEAR and DETAILED STEPS we can take to reproduce the issue ourselves… Be descriptive!

Here’s the steps to reproduce the issue:

  1. Create a scenario where you are allied with at least one other player. Go to Options in the scenario editor and disable Cartography or add a Trigger and Disable the tech.
  2. Test scenario.
  3. Notice your allies’ units and buildings are visible.

:arrow_forward: EXPECTED RESULT

:point_down: What was SUPPOSED to happen if the bug you encountered were not present?
Without Cartography you should not have LOS of allied units.

Also “Set Player Visibility” doesn’t work either, might be the same bug.

:arrow_forward: IMAGE

:point_down: ALWAYS attach a PICTURE (.jpg, .png, .gif) or VIDEO (.mp4, YouTube link) that highlights the problem.

:arrow_forward: GAME FILES (SAVE / RECORDING)

:point_down: Attach a SAVE GAME (.aoe2spgame) or GAME RECORDING (.aoe2record) of the match where you encountered the issue. Link it below if using an external file service.

Um… @Felizon89, am I the only person experiencing this bug or can you confirm it via the steps above?

Hi @twiglet2018
I wasn’t able to reproduce this bug, do you have an scenario as example?
Thanks.

This is still happening to me, I disabled all mods and tried in the scenario editor. All allied players are shown on the map despite disabling Cartography in the techs.

5

I just tried again with 4 players in scenario editor, one of them is my ally and I disabled Cartography, tried Dark Age, Imperial and Post Imperial and still have no repro. Could you send me an scenario to check what could be causing the issue?

I tried creating new scenarios and disabling Cartography works, but this one scenario -
Line of Sight Bug Scenario.aoe2scenario (86.3 KB)
does not. I made Player 3 neutral to not give LOS.

Do you disable it with triggers or disable it in the Forbidden techs section?

I normally disable techs in the Options tab.

You can also use the alternative trigger “Set visibility to player”
