Graphic Glitch Bug
We would like to collect more info on how the graphic glitch behaves. Please report here your experiences.

Please give us: Era, number of turns, does the glitch relate to a particular unit set?; does it disappear on reload?; other mods?; your expansions and DLCs; Are you using other WE mods?

The glitch can be described as "twitching" units that usually stretch out weirdly across the entire screen. Parts of the units are missing, and it only happens to a select amount in the map. Weirdly enough, the glitch isn't consistent. A swordsman could be glitched one game, and then completely fine in another.
I don't have a screenshot on me to show the glitch, but I think there's one in your bug report thread.

I would say the eras vary (but the first time I noticed the glitch was on Renaissance, with Ship-Of-The-Lines). And many people, myself included, experience the problem later in the game rather than the beginning. I don't believe it's limited to just one unit set, as I've seen it happen with the Tagma, ships, vampires, and even field cannons tend to twitch a bit sometimes. I'm using all expansions, DLCs, and WE mods. In the end, I'm pretty sure this could be cause of random mods graphically conflicting with Warfare Expanded, and that sadly isn't too easy to pinpoint for me. But the fewer mods I have, the less likely the glitch is to pop up.

I started thinking the only possibility of this glitch could be some texture the game "does not like". I might go through some of the assets added since September. Problem is that Firaxis was releasing updates at the same time as we were updating and it's hard to isolate the experience.

If anyone's willing to help testing, I could give an older build of the mod...at least we could try checking if there is an issue with the newer set of unit assets.

Do you guys use heroes or not?

O yeah, sometimes it's not only happen to units. I remembered that even Natural Wonders (idk how it even got affected from WR mods) can get glitchy.

Well, this has definitely nothing to do with our work....

Yep, I've noticed natural wonder glitches too but I believe that's a graphical issue set apart from WE.

I do not use Heroes with my mods, or Heroes at all really, so I don't think it has anything to do with the odd glitch. But I would be willing to try out an older build to test for you guys.

@everyone So, far I see we only updated the game in June and in late Oct. While the first graphical glitch reports are in Sept. So I kind of fail to see how WE could have been the culprit. There were many Firaxis updates in the meantime....I sincerely hope something did not get awry there....

I tried a game without WE and no units got glitch, but barrier reef (a natural wonder) got it. must be firaxis's fault, why their game is so unfriendly to mods is beyond me, almost every time the game got updated, half of the mods stop working

We've been working for years on WE now, it would be a disaster to give it up...

Yeah, most likely not. But once i disabled WE:R, the glitch stopped. Currently i'll try to guess which one is not getting along with WE:R.

O yeah, in the past, (unit related), the dromon model is missing in my games. Couldn't think of any other glitches in my past recent games.

This is odd as the dromon I see. I start thinking there could be issues with the upload on Steam...if you want t o help us a bit with testing, add me to friends list so we can chat.

We see this bug in XCOM 2 as well, capping your FPS at 60 in your GPU control panel or turning on V-sync helps, and depending on your hardware it sometimes eliminates the issue altogether. I will be doing some testing over the holiday weekend and will report back.
