      Hi, I’ve a tech problem since a long time and maybe someone can help me to address it. Many times, when I enter the 2d world and I’m viewing the UI map (tactical engagement or campaign, it’s the same), no label appear when I put the mouse on an icon in the map, so that I’m obliged to activate the names with consequent difficulty of fragging a package, with all that mess of sticky names.

      It could be interesting to note that I tried to downgrade or upgrade video drivers, and nothing changed. I tried to launch BMS in windowed mode, and nothing changed too. The only temporary solution is, some times, to log out from my Windows 7 account and then log in again: doing so, once I launch again BMS, the wrong behaviour disappear and labels start to appear. But it’s a pretty random solution, working statistically 1 out of 5.

      So, any ideas? Something I could change in the config files maybe?

      Thanks.

        I have the same issue. However, the labels appear briefly for 0.2 sec, before disappearing again.

              I used to experience this randomly. Never was able to reproduce it reliably, but I think it was associated with “alt-tabbing” out of the game (be it intentional or otherwise). It went away with a fresh install however, and I haven’t seen it in months.I use windowed mode now as well, which I think helps, although I see the OP has tried both.

                Yes, tried the windowed mode and tried not to alt+tab when in full screen 😞

                Anyway, I didn’t thought it was a so much spread tech issue. Interesting.

                  Hi all.

                  I’m having the same issue. Sometimes label blinks for 0.2 sec after waiting 5sec with mouse on icon. Most of the time it does not appear at all.

                  Does anyone know what is causing this ?
