:play_button: ISSUE EXPERIENCED

:backhand_index_pointing_down: DESCRIBE THE ISSUE IN DETAIL (below). LIMIT TO ONE BUG PER THREAD.
For some reasons, I never had my texte centered above the units on my game, either in Alexander DLC missions nor in custom scenario. But I saw a video on youtube where someone had them centered on the unit head.
On ma screen the position is kinda a math opreation between my camera position and the unit position, and never staying at the same relative spot from the unit, it’s litterally floating at a position based on my camera-object location.

Edit: The issue is occuring at ui scale 125%, not at ui scale 100%, not tested other %.

(Side not: Yes I’m using mods on the screenshots, cause I was too lazy to restart my game after disabling all of them, I’ve had that bug with or without those mods so they’re not the cause)
