I need a little help. After a very long pause, I decided to install JA2 on my laptop and start playing. I've been enjoying UC v1.13, but now I've run into a very irritating problem. Apparently this some sort of "covert ops" feature that has been embedded, but it is definitely not working as it should. Somehow my mercs get "tainted" by this hat icon, which makes them unplayable. I don't know how to become "covert" (suddenly I just notice they have the hat icon on their portrait) and I have no idea how to get it to go away. As a result NO MATTER WHAT THEY DO, enemies don't spot them and they become stuck in this invisibility mode. I can literally just go around and massacre as 30-head-large group of enemies with a handgun with these "covert" mercenaries. I've been trying to do what I can to get rid of this problem in-game - strip the merc of all gear - but to no avail.

First this happened to Kelly and I dismissed him. I figured he was just buggy. But now it happened to Maddog and Postie. It will drive me crazy if I have to keep firing people, because they spontaneously turn invisible. Can anyone help me with this? I'm not very savvy with the technical aspects (code, .ini-files etc.).
