For me, this has been fixed with the "b" version of the update. But like Rudankort said, it's situational. Here's how it works for me:
- If you open the start of a saved scenario (say, deployment phase) you still have the problem. Worst Case: the medals are STILL THERE, but you won't see them applied until AFTER you have combat EX: You have a tank with a Level 3 Anti-infantry medal. Upon first combat the level 1 medal will pop up. Second combat the level 1 bonus will be applied, and the level 2 medal pops up. Third combat the level 2 bonus is applied and the level 3 medal pops up. From then on you are good forever. So you definitely have to suck it up one time for the first couple of turns, but better than restarting a campaign if you are halfway through...
- BUT if you can replay the last turn of a prior scenario (usually very short as you cruise to victory!
), when you proceed to the next scenario everything will work fine: medals will be there, stats will update properly, etc.
Thanks for responding.
Yes, I had tried that (replaying the last turn of the preceding scenario) immediately upon noticing that all the awards were gone in the Deployment phase of the next scenario (for me, next is Gazala - so early, but not early enough for me to really WANT to restart if I don't have to, for sure!). No effect, medals still disappeared in Deployment at Gazala.
Now, it was zero dark thirty hereabouts when I noticed this and the update... so I just went to sleep after finding this thread and posting above, hoping for inspiration or succor with a new day after some sleep and more caffeine...
Thinking about it, I have found in the past that some applications of patches in Steam versions (which is the vers. I use) require a restart of the Steam app. for patches to fully/properly/or even apply at all. This I had not done before I tried the trick you mentioned, which, with it now being a new day and a fresh espresso, I shall now endeavor, and report back in an edit of this post.
Thanks again! ~CC
::EDIT::
Aaaannddd, yeah. That's the ticket. Restarting the Steam app. and THEN replaying the last turn of the preceding Scenario, and the awards have reappeared properly in the Gazala Deployment phase. At least the attack/defense bonuses also appear to be tracking in stats as well, so... Sweet! Now, heroes which are target-specific (and not class-specific) in affect, prob. can't be reflected in stats, so that will have to be from observed behavior (like say, tank killer, or butcher).
Not sure is WAD or a bug, but of course, unfortunately one can still see some enemy positions/objectives through both FOW and Shroud in Deployment when looking at Strategic View, which - of course generally should be antithetical to the concept of why most players (like me) use Shroud in the first place. Perhaps there is a control I had not seen, or, there will be.
