Hi everybody! Hi have a really big problem and i hope that you could help me because i really love this mod :).
Since 2 days i have a bug, now i can't see the obs. I mean that i cant see any distortion or movement. The only thing i can see is the movment of cinder blocks and other props or i can hear them. I tried to re install cod 4, i download the mod 3 times and create a new profile and the bug don't want to stop :s.
Thanks :)
ps: I'm sorry for my bad english ^^, i just learned english at school :)

One of our clanmates was saying that he had problems seeing obscurities aswell. I put it down to him just being shit.
Maybe its something to do with your graphics settings. What rig have you got? and what resolution are you running cod 4 at as he is running it at 800x600 and low graphics settings.

Check to see if /r_distortion in set to 1, if it is set to 0, well you don't get any distortion effects. Set it to one then hopefully you should see them. Easiest way ingame to tell is to throw a nade in front and see if it makes a cool distortion when it blows.

Even better way in Obscurity, throw down an incendiary and look for the heat wave. But yes, your graphics card needs to support distortion shaders.... I think it works with anything as low as shader model 2.0

Yep... that can be put down to pure fail. If you can see it sometimes, you can see it all the time. There is no such "bug" with visibility. Look harder -_-

They are very hard to see, but they are visible if your distortion is on. If you can see them after death then they are always going to be visible.
Easiest way to spot them is to stand still and really focus on trying to spot them. Also headset with stereo sound helps too.
If you aren't seeing them, then you will not be able to see them during after death scenes etc.
So basically, you need to be 100% sure you are seeing them or 100% not seeing them. Perhaps get a friend and get him to stand in front of you.
Also check out the screenshots in the features section, 1, 10 and 11 have obscurity in them. That is how they appear in-game. I hope you sort this out.

I'm not sure if can see him or not in those photos, but they pretty small if he is supposed to be in that circle you drew...there is a slight distortion that I can see there, but photo is pretty crappy TBH. Can you send one with obs right in your face...like knifing distance.
If you can't see him you wouldnt have seen him after death as you said...
Try make a video of an obscurity moving in and killing you and provide a link if you can 
Oh, and how did you know where to circle?

I can see him in the photos, despite those being the worst conditions for a picture of an obscurity imaginable. It's there, and it looks exactly as it should. Don't know what you're complaining about, they're a lot more visible when moving/less than 20m from you

this the same picture in better quality.
I tried to reset all setting by reinstalling cod4 and i saw the obs but i only saw two balls like his eyes.
I just realize that while i reinstalled cod4 i didn't erase all the files (maps, mods and profiles). I'll try to erase all now and i will tell you if it work.

The problem was that you failed, your mod failed. Its been happening to me since the mod was downpatched. But guess what, i can still see them enough to put an R700 bullet through their head =D

Guys, I think that this bug is back... I am playing with a fresh install... and I cannot see the Obs 90% of the time, usually its too late
I am running an ATI 3870 Video card with the latest Catalyst drivers, Fresh install of DirectX and the like.
I would like to frap a sample, but I have to update my fraps for Pussbuster liking.
Let me explain in detail... Usually you can see the stealth tech when they are close within about 10-15 yards... I cant even see them at 2 yards... and sometimes not at all. its like the stealth tech is not getting displayed on my screen for the model. sometimes I can catch a glimpse of it when it suddenly appears. But its not that I dont know what to look for, but rather... it doesn't display the obs stealth tech at all or it glitches in and out.

Is this on your own server or somebody elses?
I have conflicting file issues because I have edited the mod about 1000 times (katana instead of knife, blood grenades, you get the picture). But when playing off other peoples servers it should run fine, unless your graphics card has trouble displaying distortion shaders (which it should not). If that is the case, it is not a bug we can fix.
Only advice I have so far is for you to grab the map/weather occuring/server/mod version next time it happens, then post them here.
But before all this, check that your graphics settings are correct and that /r_distortion is on. Some mods turn /r_distortion off I believe.
Also note, unless you have been playing a long time, they are extremely difficult to spot when they are standing still. Easiest to spot when moving, even if they are moving prone you should be able to spot them.
I do believe from what you have written though that it sounds like your card drivers having a problem with distortion shaders.
