Played a game last night, with iirc (may be wrong here )knorke. He complained of only seeing the shadow of the units, and not the units themselves. After pratting about with reinstalling spring and dl'ing lua scripts i think the problem is the "outline" widget. Which sucks as i love that one!
Just turning off the outline widget seems to fix it for me.
Also, very strangly, rank icons are working for me, for the first time in years
