US Pacific Tokio savegame corruption

Post by Longasc »

I cannot open this savegame anymore. I had to revert to the [U.S. Pacific] Auto Save file, the "Turn End" autosave also cannot be loaded.

There are two errors in this savegame. I'm still investigating but it looks like you can continue playing if you disable hex location names in the options panel.

The error is related to the Marines in the center of this picture. According to the savegame data, the hex contains both this unit AND a Japanese Shinhoto Chi-Ha tank. Which is impossible, so the tank placement is ignored. The hex is owned by the Japanese however, so the placement of the US Marines causes a "capture hex" event which breaks things in the savegame loading procedure.

Do you remember anything weird happening in this area? Such as the Japanese tank stopping on top of your unit, or any other pathfinding-related glitches?

Hi, I restarted the scenario as I did not do well on the Eastern Peninsula anyways.

I am not sure how the tank managed to drive over the Marine, I had one unit with a truck attached, maybe the Marine was mounted up in a truck? I think I misclicked, wanted rather to attack than to move/drive there. And the tank, I speculate it moved onto the truck after being driven there after taking damage in an attack and retreating for some reason on this already occupied hex. Sorry, can only speculate and not offer more hard facts! :(

After restarting I also noticed that I no longer could pick all specializations - I could in this savegame before starting the scenario, but didn't get access to atomic bombers etc. despite acquiring all specializations. I wondered about that, thought maybe because its the last scenario.

I can only speculate how to reproduce this bug, but I had saved up some points, experimented but did not click "acquire" and closed the specialization panel. Reopened it, spent some point and perhaps it was THEN that I could suddenly pick all specializations.
