Yesterday a friend reported angrily (unnecessarily) that he had purchased the Dungeon of Mad Mage and that one of the maps was missing LoS and that it was absurd, he asked me how he did it and that it was better to have downloaded the alternative version ( piracy).
I then told him how to request a refund and then said, why are you crying because of a map, since there was a big evolution in FGU and finally you can test new features and you're complaining with a full belly.
So I ended up saying go there ask for refund and download the pirated version that will never be readjusted and do everything by hand instead of posting and notifying the team of the problem.

I think if LoS was missing from one (or any) of the maps from DotMM (or any other module) I'd have heard about it before now. So I guess that the guy was looking at a DM map maybe. But without further info not a lot can be done to diagnose the issue.

I can confirm that DotMM has LoS :) Did your friend activate LoS?

I don't know, because he only knew how to dump complaints and he didn't take into account how much the Smite team produces and how much the UNITY version has improved, but I believe he shouldn't have activated things or should have opened the GM map and not the player.

I can testify, that there are some Line of Sight, and terrain issues on some of the maps. I think in the game we are running we ran into a couple of issues in the Dwemoncore and level 10, but nothing that was game breaking, more just a couple of sections of LOS blocking walls/lines missing. And to many numerous instances of really small holes in the terrain lines where things were not perfectly connected, but nothing to the level of what the OP's friend was complaining about, and honestly, nothing that I felt a huge need to run to the forums and immediately submit a bug report, though perhaps I should be more diligent in that. THoguh in truth, I too engaged in the game to take a well documented note of the issue for reporting later, and it is just easier to let the DM know so he can fix it really quick before the dungeon get ruined.

Please ask your friend to contact [email protected] for assistance. Please don't mention piracy in any forum threads. We have seen reports of issue to our customer support that were actually a result of using unofficial, illegal content and nothing in the official version. A module in the modules folder will override the official content. If that file did not have LOS for a map, then it would appear that the LOS was missing when in actuality, the user is not even seeing the official content.

I know and I just mentioned not to be breaking your head with his failure, and if I'm not mistaken he got in touch, but first I told him to clean the Vault and the modules folder and click on the check for update and then everything decided, but still thanks for the support and support that they always provide us and congratulations for the quality product that they offer us.
