Current Bugs - Version 6.1.9

[Andy2012]

Alright, MHochhaeuser turned out to be another HBalck account and is now banned. He only got a few posts in since he was spotted early and then swiflty dealt with. Thank God his English is so terrible and the language pattern so obvious, we can nuke him really fast now.

Policy is here.

Anybody receiving his usual harassment pms about "forbidden mods" please forward these to a Slitherine employee or a mod ASAP. Some have already done this, thank you. This isnt just about trolling, but also about copyright infringement and thus dead serious. Anyways, let's keep this a civil place and enjoy our hobby together.

The "Panzerkeil" spec is not working right, resp. at all.

Editor Specialisation bug.

If you keep on adding specs to a faction, eventually it will add a blank one that you can't delete.
When you scroll down to the blank one, the tab info disappears.
Save scenario doesn't work so I can't attach it.

Text / language errors

[GabeKnight]

When upgrading a land recon unit to an air recon unit, it's possible to have negative air CP on a map.

Furthermore I think upgrades shoud be strictly limited to its own "category", meaning land-to-land and air-to-air!

[GabeKnight]

During deployment phase:
If you buy a new land unit, deploy it in naval transports, and sell this unit directly out of the naval screen, you get naval-CP refunded instead of land-CP (the RPs are refunded correctly).

and

There are two Gloster Gladiator fighters in the Norway scenario but only one of them is set to awaken, twice.

Thread (wrong AI team setting)

[Asap]

The AI stucks and is thinking forever after switching to the German side instead of switching to the enemy's side, when I end my turn.
This error has already occurred several times in different scenarios. I'm currently playing the Blitzkrieg campaign.
I also noticed, that the game crashes every now and then, especially when I work with the editor.
Where do I find the crash reports?

Do you by any chance run an AMD rig?

Via button in the launcher or \users\..\appdata\locallow\the artistocrats\order..\output.log (Win7)

Yes, I run an AMD A6 Quad-Core laptop but soon it will be an AMD Ryzen 5 or even something slightly better from AMD.

Thanks for your help, I had to search for the hidden folder "appdata" to find the crash reports.

I've only asked because OoB seems to run more stable on Intel machines. No crashes here.

OoB always ran stable on my laptop but things changed a bit since I updated the game to Version 6.1.9.

Panzerkrieg DLC: 03_Kharkov_42, trigger error: objectives\Balakleya, Barvenkovo in 5 - FAIL won't happen like this if one VP's captured and the other one's not. Simple logic with two choices.

There is a new feature in the campaign-editor that allows disabling selected units in campaigns. It seems only be used for Sandstorm so far, in particular disabling the units: Ar 196, Do 18, and Bv 138
When I start the Sandstorm campaign, these mentioned units aren’t available to purchase as it should be. However, when I reload a savegame, these units show up again (see recon tab)
Can someone confirm this?

Just started Sandstrom and yeah, can confirm. I'm still soooo bad with the unit's names, I didn't notice at all...
(No "Do 18" because of the expiration date)

[Horst]

I wouldn’t have noticed it either if I didn’t add so many other units to this ban-list.
Something like Sturmpanzer I, Wurfrahmen 40 and mortar Karl shouldn’t be available in the desert. I prefer some historical correctness and caused difficulties there that Rommel had to face.
This should be quite a challenge to play a German campaign without these overly powerful arty-units, but if they keep popping up again on a load, it’s too hard to resist.

Has no one noticed yet the hex-mark animation in the lower-left corner in every single scenario?
I’ve marked the airfield-hex for comparison.

Sandstorms cause unit models to flicker. The overlay-effect is possibly not high enough that models and sand struggle who is most top.
It should be visible on the screenshot where the chassis of the Calliope is obscure but hardly the turret. It's more visible when zooming out but also noticeable at a closer zoom.
By the way, the speed setting of the weather.csv file doesn't seem to have any effect, same with the attack/defense and radar columns.

You're obviously not up-to-date, Horst, you've been away too long...
It's already been reported by terminator, I think, and it's fixed in the v7 update.

I don't really follow the speed/movement changes made to the units to be honest, but I think that file is new and came with the Sandstorm DLC. So it may not be fully implemented, yet.
I also read somewhere, that they plan to change the .txt files in the \data folder into .csv, like they've already done with the chassis.csv, for example.

"Render therefore unto Caesar the things which are Caesar's'."

[Horst]

Okay, forgive me if I haven't studied every single topic here from the last four months. My game version is 6.1.9 and this silly hex-mark bug is still there. That is new for me and wasn't there in 5.3.0 yet.
This topic here is a good collection of all the many loose topics here, therefore I post whatever I stumble upon and isn't reported here yet.

As I've already mentioned in the scenario forum about the weather.csv issue, if there is following patch note in the whatsnew.pdf then everyone should expect it as feature and not as another "oh sorry, not ready yet until next year maybe" excuse:
* Sandstorm weather reduces LOS and combat performance
If someone can proof me otherwise, I gladly eat my words.
It just disappoints me once again if I notice obvious bugs in the first 5 minutes while not even playing Sandstorm yet that haven't been fixed in four months.
