One line summary of your issue
(minor) visual firing arc bug

Please explain your issue is in as much detail as possible.
1 of my mechs does not display its normal firing arc during movement phase. Instead of the normal highlighted firing arc display at the end of movement phase, I see only a small arrow indicating what direction the mech will be pointed.

Steps to reproduce the issue
I'm on the story mission to destroy the Taurian dropship by destroying it's fuel supply. Only the mech with my unit leader is affected. (it's a cataphract. Other members are using quickdraw, Zeus, and Thunderbolt. Only unit leader's mech is affected and due to direction indicating arrow, this bug is minor.

Oddly enough, after I tabbed out to report this and then tabbed back in, the bug went away. The game had been running for around 3 hours. I have noticed that the longer the run time, the increased chance for bugs. The bug happened for the 1st half of the mission. Destroying turret generators and garrison mechs. I reported it at the halfway mark and it was gone for the last half of the mission, destroying the directorate's attack lance (I finished my catapult K2 btw) but since I now have a thunderbolt, zues, orion, and blacknight, the K2 will only see limited if any use.

This happens when you turn off all weapons or are out of weapons/ammo and only have melee remaining. Try turning off all your weapons on one round and then see what movement looks like on the next.
