I wasn't sure where to post this so I tought general would be more fitting (altough technical support makes more sence, I'm not searching for help, just "passing the word")

I have done several tests on various computers and found out that SM heavy bolter turrets (the ones with the missile upgrade, not the normal ones) have this strange graphics glitch: There seems to be 2 models: One for the whole turret and another one for just the moving part. The problem is, the one which doesn't move has it's own moving part of the turret (altough it doesn't move).

It's a bit hard to explain, a better way to understand is to build a heavy bolter turret and look at it zoomed in, look closely at it's back and you should notice there's another turret in there which shouldn't be!

PS: Before anyone asks, Chaos doesn't have the same problem with theyr turrets.

Oh really? I think I'll go and take a look.

Should be interesting.

At first I tough it was just one of the strange bugs I had with my old FX5200 sometimes (like only half of the banners showing up on LPs) but after upgrading to a FX5700 and noticing it several times in a row, I figured it was common to all computers...

Did you see this during replays? Because I've seen this glitch before, but it was explained to me that it only occurs during replays.

If you've seen it during a live game, that's news to me....

Oh, maybe that's it. In "live" games I'm too busy :p

It happens in replays if you have Fog of War set to off, but in reality you wouldn't be allowed to see the area in question. Even though you can rotate between the teams in playback, it is still recorded from the perspective of the original players team.

Moving to Bug Submission. Perhaps you could provide a screenshot of this glitch?

I have only noticed this in replays only.
