The only time I managed to get cover to work(havent bothered trying since then, waiting for a fix) I also noticed this - I was invisible, removed from the radar but didnt turn translucent. I figured this was just part of the /cover bug, but if no-one else has noticed it then I guess its a new one.

I vote for calling it "The Dommel Bug" in honour of the finder..... lol

I've been assuming it's because I have certain CPU heavy graphics options turned down (or off), but given how rarely it works anyway, it could be that the translucent effect isn't working for anyone, just noone else has reported it because they're usually just happy they got /cover to work.

This has something to do with your graphics options. I normally have everything switched on and maxed out and was seeing the translucent effect. Recently I decided to try and see if I could get a maxed out 30fps at all times, so I switched all graphics options off. After doing this, there was no translucent effect on cover.

I'm not sure which particular graphics option is switching this on and off, but if I had to guess I would say it is the vertex pixel shader option in the game options on the launchpad. Have a play around with your options and you should be able to get this to work assuming your graphics card is of a sufficient level.

Hope this helps.

i would just love to be able to take cover. i held up my hunting party about 10 minutes on one lair as ilaid on my stomach, at perfect range, by a tree just hitting hit over and over again. i think i've managed to take cover maybe 3 times since it went live, and while were at it, i think i've only gotten sniper shot to work maybe 2-3 times too... gawd this needs fixed.

I've had this and keep trying to take cover and then after 4-5 goes I turn translucent. I'm assuming cover fails when you don't.

I never really used cover b4, but i have tried it a few times. Go prone click cover wait to warm up and then i click on conceal shot and i am told in the ui "wrong state".

What am i doing wrong?

• it is failing to enter the state then. It is vary hard to enter (bugged)

as for non-translucent

• after testing it does appear to be related to having the pixel shader turned on or off. So yes if you don't have the shader turned on you do not go translucent.

I been doing some testing with my guildmates. For testing purposes i either, drop a camp and take cover inside the camp or climb on the front porch of a building and take cover there. Both methods work 100% of the time, it is said becuase you are on flat ground. Any way, i sucessfully take cover and i can see the cover icon under my HAM bars. but my guildmates still can see me and target me. I dont show on radar but they can still targe and see me, and as soon as they get with in about 40 mts, cover is broken. Btw, seems like stuff like pets, vehicles and trainers with in those 40 mts prevent you from entering cover.

• 30m for vehicles, animals, npcs, pcs (should be 15m)

• yours is the first report people can see you while undercover. generally when they load into the same server they see you for a split sec but then you disappear. You are saying you can still be seen by others while undercover?




• tested this not less then a hour ago and no one could see me... is why I am confused.


• please post your video card, your game graphics settings, what server you are on and if possible get your friends video cards etc as well

yes, just tested it a couple of hours ago on Sunrunner, before the server crashed. my friends could see me and target me. I got under cover on a porch and then dragged my self on the floor acouple of blocks. I asked them to come look for me and they could not see me on radar, but they could see me on their screens once they were close to me and before they broke cover. I will do some more testing if the server come back up.
