Grrr... really annoying enemy units resurrection!!

Post by GottaLove88s »

Grrr... Totally peeved... Was playing Christmas Surprise with GortWillSaveUs... Usual forest slog but great fun... Had a phenomenally lucky round wiping out three StuGs with luckily placed AT guns, an engineer and a hidden Sherman... checked the unit losses count and that's five StuGs down, oh yeah! :-) ... Passed the turn over but when it came back ALL THREE STUGS ARE ALIVE AGAIN!! Obviously the AT guns, engineer and Sherman that were used to wipe out the StuGs are all exposed in the open, so sweet (lucky) victory becomes toast time... I don't normally resign, but I have on that one... How do units come back from the dead? Is this an issue with the Christmas Surprise scenario? If anyone can look into the game file, I resigned 19 May 20.21... Thanks :-(

It is a known issue with games very rarely going out of sync. I have tracked it down to some differences in the ways that the iPad, PC, and Mac all handle floating point numbers. The next update has rewritten model internals to work around the issue. 99% of the time games stay in sync, and 99% of out of sync games don't have visible differences, but there are some where the difference is a kill or not, and the turn can then play out very differently on the opponent's machine.

Sorry for the inconvenience. Hopefully this will be fixed in the next update.

Cheers

I'm glad GottaLove88s pointed that out,...since I noticed nothing unusual when it was my turn.
Well, except that Mr. 88 is very good at defense!

Thanks Gort... c'est la vie... but just our luck to be the 1-in-10,000... and why oh why on THAT round, darn it?!! Since we got burned on Christmas Surprise, and I definitely don't want to go through (not) killing three StuGs in one turn again (at least not until the update :-)) let's go for a rematch on another map. Any preferences? PM me with a password. I like the way you play. Cunning. Your surprise attack on my left flank was a masterstroke...
