A couple of issues with the new update

Post by xxPKHxx »

I played through the 1st campaign mission again. When the 1st german reinforements arrived the game partially hung for probably 10-20 seconds. It showed it was my turn, and I could move the cursor around the terrain but I couldn't scroll the map or select units. I could also use the game menu. I think some info/tutorial stuff popped up after that, and when clicking it the game went back to normal.

It happened again later after I had called in the scout plane the previous turn. I could save the game, but couldn't scroll or select units. I could click the end turn button, and the sound was played but nothing happened. I had to exit the game and reload to continue.
When loading the save, the scout plane marker was present for the rest of the game, but the plane never showed up. I have the savegame file if you want to look at it.

Another thing, the experience marker in the lower left unit info area are still covers up the unit strength for some types.

For me, instead of the scout plane, it was the Stuka where I had the same problem as xxPKHxx. Also the same observation on the experience marker as well.

Did the camera scroll to show the air strike / reinforcements before the game became unresponsive?

Hi Andrew.

Yes. It went thru the normal process for an air strike. But instead of the air strike actually happening, the game just froze as described by xxPKHxx. I was able to save the turn though. When I loaded up the save, I was able to continue the turn except the air strike didn't happen & the Stuka marker was there for the rest of the game. I can send you that save file if you wish.

I had this issue too. Happened in the first mission shortly after the first reinforcement. Graphics of game showed no animations (smoke and stuff) and I could not select any unit. It may have been related to clicking one the scouting plane but I'm not sure. Grr. Need to play it again ;)
I could save and do other stuff but because I have read here about it I waited and could then later select my units. Need to check again or some might give a more deep analysis before I'm back ;)

I believe I have tracked down the problem and it will be fixed in the next update. In the meantime, if you appear to be stuck in this way, the game should resume normally if you zoom the camera in and wait a moment.

I had this happened in a skirmish now and wanted to tell you that it seems using zoom will "cure" it ;) I can't move the map when the error arise.
