Can't deplay units/start Onslaught

[PanzerG]

Onslaught loads, but I can't deploy units, map is black in deployment area. This did not happen in beta. Can't even close the game or return to menu, I have to shutdown from windows.



Do I have to delete some remains form beta ?

I had exactly the same issue.

The input problem can be fixed by using Options -> Input -> Restore Defaults.
The graphics problem can be fixed by using the Options -> Reset according to other users with this problem.

Edit:
The problem with the graphics happens if you have the setting set to Shadow Quality: No Shadows during game start. After changing it at least once (even if it is changed back to Shadow Quality: No Shadows) it will be ok until you restart the game.

Thanks, the Reset fixed it.

I thankfully found this out myself and mentioned it in my review on gog. I seriously considered deducting a star for such a serious glitch, but since i like your game very much & hope it will be quickly patched, i still gave 5 stars.

The 2 partial resets didnt work, a full reset did work.

Hello,
I have a similar type of problem, but my screen show correctly the map.
I cannot make any unit deployment, either with an old save from Invasion or with the new DLC since I have installed the Onslaught upgrade: A unit which is installed in a deployment hex with the mouse pointer won't stick/stay in its place using the right mouse switch: What did I do wrong?
Thank you for your help.

but not permanently...
whenever i load the savegame or restart with a new game in onslaught, i have to repeat the "restore" procedure. This needs a hotfix.

Just to make sure that there is a bug I need to delve into deeper: You do click on apply afterwards?

And yes we are already finished working on a more permanent fix for this issue, unfortunately the actual bug was not under our control and it took some time to work around our input middleware.

Yes I do "apply", yet, each time i start the game again, I have to reset shadows and apply again...bec the bug is back.

Do you always afterwards set to "no shadows"? In my case I left it at the second lowest shadow level & then it worked.

For everyone with access to the playtest steam channel:
If you are still having the input issue or the graphics issue give it a try.

To accurately test that the input issue is gone you will need some special steps:
* Verify that you are still having input issues in the default branch (Opt out of all Betas)
* Verify that you don't have input issues in the playtest branch (Please tell us if you do)
* Close the game
* Open the file config.xml in your installation directory with any simple texteditor (NO Wordpad). You can find your installationfolder via Properties -> Local Files -> Browse Local Files...
* Remove the line

Code: Select all

<settings directory="Fantasy General II Beta"/>

from it.
* After restarting the game verify that all your savegames from the live game are displayed ingame.
* Load any NON IRONMAIDEN savegame
* See if both left and rightclick work correctly.
* DO NOT save a game (no autosaves either) or start a new one
* Exit the game
* Put the line you deleted from config.xml back or click Properties -> Local Files -> Verify integrity of game files and verify that the line is back.
* Dont forget to switch back to the default branch for playing the game.
