IR spotlight does not illuminate when it's turned on.

[Dr_VidyaGeam 86]

Sometime after the newest update The IR spotlights don't seem to illuminate in front of them when turned on. You see the glare of the light as if it's shining in front of it but no light seems to accompany it.

 

An example on the screenshots. The IR spotlight is turned on in both pictures but no light comes out. The second one even has a T-90 with it's lights on across from me (a separate issue already reported, although it helps demonstrate my own problem) but no light from him as well.

 

The pics were taken from a testdrive but the issue happens across all games and is universal for all tanks.

I am also experiencing this issue and checked the forums for answers. I think it's was from the last patch where the IR Searchlights won't turnoff when using NV and probably forgot to recheck it, if it works properly.

Same here. I tested it with night tank test, China and Russia.   : (

 

Gaijin please fix it.

You have to submit a bug report...

 

A forum thread is useless in that regard

@NoodleCup31 This is a post at gameplay problems & advice. I thought to fill one bug report, but as is evident that is no affecting only my operative system (linux) or my hardware software combination (not using steam), but a general whole game widespread problem. Then yes  I think here can be read by developers too.

 

Talking about useless posts...

Do you actually have a tank or tanks with IR spotlight?

If so, Did you already checked if you are affected with this game feature lose too?

 

I am trying to work in help to determine this problem, instead of upload text to multiple threads.

At least it works when you're in a heli and somebody has it turned on. Bug or then Gaijin has turned the feature off on purpose, idk.
