The outline of the deployed smoke is actually gone. Thereby making my smoke outline hard to impossible to see visually. Sometimes this slight (or major) bug makes it very difficult to visually see the smoke boundary. Has anyone else encountered this issue? If so, is there a work around for this? Thanks Share this post Link to post Share on other sites

If it's occurring while you're in the smoke, it may just be the glare on the water or something that's causing it to be not visible, or some other weird graphical thing. Regardless, I have not encountered this bug if it is such a thing. Share this post Link to post Share on other sites

Has to do with the weather reflections, on a bright day the reflection is brighter, and washes out the line. Same with torp guide. You'd think someone would have modded a fix for it by now...
