I don't see any attached screenshot. Also, a save game would be very useful to test any fix

Sorry, I tried uploading files two or three times and it was always stuck at 100% and forgot to do it later, my bad. Anyway, screenshot of my settings and video of the torpedoes

Here a savegame and a video of the turrets. Splitting up the files might help with the upload, hence two notes instead of one. This is not unique to the savegame attached, I have it in every game I start.
So far I've tried switching from DirectX to OpenGL. Turning all the settings ingame off and on again as well as validating the game files integrity.

I can also confirm that I don't see any chain lightning in my newest campaign. Should mines have an explosion effect? Because I don't see one there either. I do see beams and normal shots.

I can try reinstalling the game tomorrow or updating the GPU drivers. However, as mentioned above it did work for me pre-great refactor.

This is an interesting one to chase down. Here's where I've gotten so far:

Some of my code changes led to this apparently:

Thanks!

* Fixed an issue that was causing a lot of the AOE explosion effects (the lighting blasts and so on) to not appear properly.
** This may have been going on since the time of the great refactor (aka sometime pre-4.0), but it's hard to be sure exactly how long.
** Essentially, some of the code which was great for runtime was no longer able to load via reflection for analysis in the unity editor. So an interface had to be used instead for the array of that class which is used at runtime, thus providing a level of abstraction that would not foul up the editor-time reflection.
