i can not see the damage beams

[Dragon2000]

when i use damage beam weapons they don't show where the beams are going only when they do damage i don't know if this is a bug or its just me if it is me what should the options it needs to be so i can see the beams

I believe there's an in-game setting to draw beams. Did you turn that off?

it may not be just you I've had a similar problem with a few of my weapons as well. try this, I have had instances where if i fire missiles while using a core I couldn't see them, but when I then switched to a cockpit they suddenly became visible. try using a cockpit and see if that is the case with you, as I don't tend to use damage beams as much as cannons it may work similarly.

Oh yes, good reminder. If you're behind Plexglass blocks, you can't see beams/missiles on the other side of the glass!

with me this happens with or without plexglass I've tested with just a core, power, cockpit, and thrusters. then I tried with different weapons seems some of them do it while others Don't.

Now I'd not heard of that before. Interesting.
I wonder if it's a graphics chipset/driver related glitch. Mmmmmm.
I'll give it a look see anyway! Might be a valid bug.
