[2.2] Teammate Names not showing

Post by 51chicken »

Before the update, I had my shootmania settings set to show names instead of avatars, now no matter what I set it to I either see nothing at all or only the teammate avatars.

This is frustrating when everybody has the same flag and you can't tell who is who on your team. A few people have asked me about this, so I know I'm not the only one.

The avatar/name works on enemies, and it works while I'm spectating, but not for teammates when I'm defending.

I have tried setting (In the launcher settings - Game tab):
Player info. display type (have tried both "Name" and "Avatar and Name" settings.
Player info. display size, have tried the first 2 notches.

Thanks!

you might need to add that it's only happening in elite, right?

      Yea I get that, which is why I waited nearly a month before posting again. They spent all that time with the invite system that nobody uses, they could've fixed stuff that they broke with the latest patches for their paying customers.

      I have a kinda related problem.
      On the question "Do you want to allow to view player's avatars" (which only comes ONCE per account), I clicked "Yes".
      Now, "Name" and "Avatar and name" under ""Play Maniaplanet"->"Configure"->"Advanced"->"Game"->"Player info. display type" does the same for me. Meaning: I can't disable the avatar picture over people's heads. Just "Avatar" works, though, so it is the correct drop down.
      Ingame the checkbox "Profile"->"Advanced"->"Show avatars" is disabled, but I also can't enable it, so it's broken?

      Is there a registry setting or ANYTHING how to disable avatar's?
