I have been having those same problems off and on sine day 1. I just started playing when SvS came out. It does appear to be getting worse though. I have also noticed that each time I send a report to support I get the same old response as others. I'm wondering if they really read them?

I play other graphic intensive games online and have no problems.

So it's the Open Fire command that stops the health bars appearing? Hmm, lol but i love that thing, makes me sink the big ships in one hit. I'll test it out, thank you :) I found out about the explosive amount also after on a thread, so not fair. :(

It doesn't even show before you use Open Fire same for my friend.

I don't have Open Fire and this happens ALL THE TIME. I do have a crappy comp but something like this still shouldn't happen. I use "Take Cover" a good amount...maybe that does it? I don't know....I just know I hate not knowing what I need to know to properly fight a battle...you know?

I know Disney has a lot to fix aside from important issues like this so I don't expect a fix soon. But thanks for being on top of my ammo....all those cannon balls were wieghing down my ship.

the enemy's health has disappeared for me as well. plus, after i dock, the sailing music doesnt go off or switch. i have to turn off the music to get it to stop. doesnt matter if i reboot the game either, as soon as i sail, it always stays on.

Actually, I've had that same bug with the music for quite a while, pull into port and the sailing music and sfx are still playing instead of the music for the different islands.

My wife has the exact same computer as me (I built both systems), but she doesn't get that bug.....strange.

is it possible that maybe the lvl of graphics you have affects on the ship health bar? Also, the music thing is really annoying, has the cannon sounds going off every 5 seconds. -_- Hasn't happened recently though

I always have the graphics full, because when i turn them down it doesn't even show the cannon balls flying around which annoys me because then it seems as if the health goes down without firing broadsides :) But i started a new pirate recently and that pirate has no trouble at all with seeing the health bars of enemy ships, but Open Fire does change it and stop it from showing on that pirate. With my first pirate however it doesn't show up at all no matter with Open Fire. I think it's just her :P lol not as young as she used to be ay? Never mind, i'll live with it :p

Ever since the first day I sailed with Maximvs, I've played with the graphics options, before making any rash conclusions. The health meter is gone about 85% of the time, now. The last few times I tried SvS, I left after being sunk by single invisible shots from invisible ships. But even in those short times, it was clear that the health meter doesn't work at all, in SvS anymore. High low and medium all have health meters that sometimes show up when I use ramming speed, then disappear before I can fire a broadsides.

Same dead horse...it shouldn't be though. But I have same issue. Only happens after I use "Open Fire".
