Difficulty Settings - Extended Map Content - Mines. On
Need More Info, NormalPublic

Description

In Multiplayer, if you enable on Difficulty Settings - Extended Map Contet - Mines = On.

It has an unwanted behaviour, if you put your mouse above the exact place where an enemy unit or vehicle is, the Map will give you the position and the name of the unit or vehicle at the exact place.

Can be used as an exploit.

Problem is that you can spot enemies in multiplyer by scrolling the mouse over the map untill it magically gives you a name on map.

Hello.

I am unable to recreate the issue. I tried following your steps to reproduce, but it seems you got the order mixed. Because enabling Extended Map Content - Mines: On, needs to be done before creating an MP mission. You can't do it in game during the mission.

Anyway I am unable to detect vehicles on the map with the mouse pointer even when I know their position. Before we can proceed to fix this we would need a 100% repro on the issue with a game that is without mods of course. (This could be caused by some mod)

Could you please try creating either a mission or a video of the issue either one would help.

Thank you.

Yes of course, my bad. I wanted to say that at MP server. This option Enabled provoques this posible exploit.

Will provide more info later.
