Bug 1 (and 3): Car and passers-by are animated in visited cities despite the according option is set to "off", and these cars are driving sidewards and backwards
World: both, de8 (with version 1.17, which was supposed to fix the sidewards-driving cars) and zz1 (version 1.18)
Browser and Version: 1.18.20578 (16.01.2014 15:11), Andi47 (73349), zz1, en_US, WIN 12,0,0,38, Windows 7, Unknown <-- this should read "Internet explorer 11.0.2", 1920x985, Legacy
EDIT: This also happens with: 1.17.20545 (16.01.2014 8:14), Andi47 (868769), de8, de_DE, WIN 11,9,900,170, Windows 7, Firefox/26.0, 1920x948, Legacy
Overview of the bug: When I visit a city in the neighbourhood (progressive era or later), I see cars (some of them going sidewards) and passers-by on the roads, despite the radio button for "Animation of other player's cities" is switched to "off".
Screenshots: n/a
How often this occurs: seems to happen always (tested a few times on both servers)
Urgency: Well, it's just a graphics bug, but hence the (almost ancient) memory leak is still not fixed, and any active animation consumes additional memory, I'd say: at least medium, if not high.
Preventative Actions n/a
Summary:
1.) switch "animations in other player's cities" to "off"
2.) visit another city, preferably one which has two-lane roads (e.g. the first-ranked player, access the city via the Global Ranking list
3.) Watch the two-lane roads for a while. After some time, the first cars will show up
I have performed a quicksearch of the forums using a select few keywords relating to my bug to see if it has already been reported: yes
Have you tried fixing it by using these methods?: n/a
