decals not drawing on reflection shader

Impala88

Hey guys, ok I'm really really new to Cryengine, but i've got a small issue.

I have an object that's using a multi-mat shader with about 8 sub-mats on it.
The single mesh in cryengine has some metal which i'd like to be reflective, but also has decals drawing over it. When i turn environment map on in the metal sub-mat, the decals vanish.

Is this caused by sorting issues (the metal shader is sub-mat 3, decals is sub-mat 6) or is it a bug or other cause?

Cheers for any help on this subject, I'll see about posting up some shots from the engine when i get home if they're needed.

are you using an environment probe in the level or are you specifying the environment map to be used in the metal material?

Nah no probe, it's just a basic texture in the environment slot.

Do the decal sub-materials have the "Decal" box ticked? It's an obvious question, but the checkbox fixes some of the z-fighting issues, so maybe it can help.
