Tooltip disappearance

In a map I'm making, sometimes all tooltips (and more, like hp-bars, build-markers) disappear and the map basically becomes unplayable. From looking around I see this is a known bug (and has been known for quite some time). I can, however, see no fixes or what causes this.
In this thread, there is one fix, but it is not the only one, I am not trying to use the defeat-trigger, but I get it anyway.

Say what is happening right before you loose your tooltips. This is usually caused by using a string to defeat someone.

Well, every time I send a nuke they disappear. But also sometimes just randomly (probably not randomly, but i cannot find the pattern)

Hehe, well.. I made a nuclear launching unit that sends a quite (very) powerful nuclear strike at any given target.. its basically a game ender for long games.
I suspect they disappear at the nukes because of the massive use of speciel effects, but it still does not explain the other random disappearances.

Noone has a solution to this? (bump)

If you defeat a player that isn't in the game all tooltips are lost for the remainder of the game... not sure why it does this as it would be easy to make it not do this, but jsut make sure a player is playing before you defeat them. If this isn't the case for your map I'm not sure.

Aha, i got it to work now, the problem was than when someone left i killed all his units, and that triggered my defeat trigger for that player wich then removed the tooltips..
