Fog of War

[Ishantil]

So...I have a room full of chemical flares in the base I'm trying to defeat. Seriously, like 15 flares everywhere. I throw more each turn. I have a guy with a pistol, and he just chucks them in every turn.

So...why is it when alien (blue andron in this case) walks through the room, he disappears? All my guys are sitting there, watching him do this (this is the fourth iteration, every reaction shot has missed). I throw a new chemical flare in, and suddenly, he's revealed! It doesn't seem to matter where I throw it.

Often literally in the same square as an existing chemical flare.

I surmise that the sight ranges aren't being updated or somesuch?

Could you upload a save? It could be not-updating LoS (same thing happens when blasting down walls and such, you need to turn to see through the hole you made) or it could be something to do with the night time rules (no enemy units displayed in the grey, previously exploed fog of war), or the new flares could be doing something screwy.

You could also try having one soldier face the other way, then look back in the androns direction... reset the los.

Turning the soldiers doesn't do it, resetting the lighting seems to (by tossing a new flare).
