Hi everyone,
 
Just a quick note to say that in the next patch there will be two fixes checked in. One should greatly reduce (if not completely eliminate) the problem of disappearing nameplates due to bad occlusion checking.
 
The other bug will disallow drawing a Hint Arrow to enemy PLAYERS that are flagged as PVP. It will also make it so that the function that returns the location of those units will only return the last known position.
 
In other news, I still haven't bothered to get my Carbine forum account flagged as Dev. WEBSITES, HOW DO THEY WORK?

Great!
Cant wait for the nameplates fix	
----
			Wooo super excited for the nameplate fix. Hopefully this one squashed this line of bugs once and for all  :D	
----
			Will this nameplate fix also address the issue of disappearing "cog wheels" (interact icons) and other icons?  It's not just nameplates that don't appear, but many other icons too, and I'm assuming it all stems from some root problem.

My group pretty much crumbled because of this bug, we'll see if it recovers and if we activate our accounts after they expire (if / when it is actually fixed).
 
Thanks though, you should probably post it where everyone is reading, up until it now it went unacknowledged yet a thread was in pretty much every forum.

			My number one issue since beta, woohoo! :)

			Ooooh yay! Nameplate fix.. *happy dance* ... oooh and another one incoming *happy dance*

With regards to the missing "cog wheels", what I have found is that the actual option seems to be disabled in the Interface options menu.
 
If you pop in the Interface game menu, there should be an option along the lines of "Show interactable items in game world".  For me, this seemed to be disabled - possibly after a /reloadui to fix the nameplates?  Not sure, but I don't seem to be having many problems with this issue now that I have re-enabled the option.
 
Hope this helps.

			way to go Devs!

I'm going to be that guy, but I'll believe it when I see it. It was supposed to be fixed last major patch and many veteran beta players have had this issue for many months.
 
It is absolutely game breaking, about on par with the amount of bots in BGs.

			Nice for people to have their secondary needs filled. Now fix real stuff like neutralize, its destroying one entire class.

			Nooooo TheZone is awesome!

I kind of figured it was due to occlusion... turning this off solved the problem for me, so I figured nameplates were erroneously being reported as being behind a wall or something.  Now I just wish for an option to disable red NPC in-combat chatter.  It hides the nameplate and I'm too busy to read it anyway.  Just throw it in the chat log and I'll glance at it later if I'm interested.
 
As for the interaction icons disappearing, I noticed that /reloadui somehow unchecked my option to show these in the interface menu.  Make sure this isn't happening to you.  Simply enabling this (or even disabling than re-enabling in some cases) has worked for me.	
----
			Yes, the interact (e.g. gear) icons disappearing is actually a bug where the option gets turned off after a reloadui. That should be fixed as well, but in the meantime, hit Escape, click the Interface button, and make sure "Show Interaction Icons in the World" is checked. The little gears will reappear.

Awesome! Really looking forward to the nameplates fix, but I really hope a fix for the memory crashes makes it into the next patch.
 
I can only play for an hour, if I'm lucky, before the game crashes or I get a BSoD and have to restart. I had this problem all throughout beta until I ran some Windows updates before launch, but this issue has made a comeback since the last patch. I updated Nvidia drivers and tried running in dx9 with no change. Gonna try to disable BijiPlates tonight and see if that helps.	
----
			Nameplates fix! Yessss.	
----
			Looking forward to this, will be extremely sad and disappointed if it fails to correctly work (mostly because this has been a known issue for months)	
----
			This will be a deal breaker patch for me. If it fails to fix my nameplates and the gear icon and all the similar things then I guess I can't continue playing this game. Sad because it's such a fun game, but it's just impossible to play well.
