Landscaping tool area doesn't update while paused

[royal lantern]

The landscaping tool's preview area - the highlight on objects that will be landscaped under the cursor and associated cost tooltip - is not updating as the mouse moves while the game is paused.

It can be worked around a bit by changing the brush size, which causes its position to update to wherever the mouse is.

Thanks for opening a support thread. Please read the checklist below so we can investigate this properly.

Bug Report Checklist

Use this thread to give us enough information to reproduce, inspect, and fix the issue. Reports with screenshots, videos, saves, logs, and clear reproduction steps are much easier for us to act on.

Quick Summary

Please include what happened, what you expected to happen, what mode you were playing, whether it was single player or co op, and whether the issue happens repeatedly.

This applies to pathfinding issues, desyncs, performance problems, crashes, and general bugs.

When To Include A Save

Please attach your save files if the issue can be reproduced after saving and loading.

A save is also helpful if your specific base, units, mission state, infection state, map state, or current situation would let us load directly into the problem and inspect it.

Manual saves are preferred. Hit Save Game and give the save a clear name before sending it.

Autosaves are accepted too, but named saves are easier for us to identify and review.

Required Save Files

Please include all three files for the save slot.

1. The image preview file
2. The main .sav file
3. The _Meta.sav file

Example:

Autosave2_Campaign79.png
Autosave2_Campaign79.sav
Autosave2_Campaign79_Meta.sav

Screenshots And Videos

If you are showing a bug, desync, pathfinding issue, visual issue, or performance problem, screenshots and videos are usually much more helpful than text alone.

Text can be enough for simple issues, but direct evidence helps us see what is actually happening instead of guessing from a description.

Reproduction Steps

If you cannot include a screenshot or video, please include exact steps to reproduce the issue.

Useful details:

1. Where were you in the game?
2. What were you doing right before it happened?
3. What units, buildings, enemies, or systems were involved?
4. Does it happen every time?
5. Does it still happen after saving and loading?
6. Does it happen in a fresh game?
7. Did anything unusual happen before the issue started?

Processing Time

Some bugs can be reviewed quickly. Others may take a few days, a week, or longer depending on complexity and our current workload.

We will do our best to communicate status when we have useful information.

If you have not heard back after a week or two, feel free to tag dark with a soft reminder. That is completely fine.

When We May Ask For More

For unique or complicated issues, we may ask for more details, a share screen, or a group test session.

This is most likely for desyncs, unusual save states, complicated pathfinding cases, performance reports, or bugs that only happen after a specific gameplay flow.

The goal is to get enough context to fix the issue correctly.

Better reports help us fix problems faster and avoid chasing the wrong cause.
