Gameplay Bug Rising Sun Java Sea Scenario will only progress as Defeat at end

[Creempuff]

No matter what I do in this scenario as Japan in Rising Sun – Java Invasion. All of my transports arrive at the final objective at Rembang City the game says defeat and the campaign ends. No matter what difficulty I play it at. This might be a major bug. Please look at this.

Creempuff, I love your forum name! If I were ever to play multiplayer OOB, I would want you for my opponent.

Now, somebody will be along shortly to politely correct me if I am wrong, but I believe your issue is related to this one:

As a matter of fact, your specific problem was reported on Steam:

and a developer answered thusly:

On the bare chance that you are getting into the nuts and bolts of this game, here is the culprit in this scenario; it no longer works to look for +1 turn beyond the total number of turns in the scenario (30 in this case); the developers did away with that capability in the last patch:

Thanks for info. I wrote that command down before I made this post. I was waiting for some replies before I wiped out some #igotnukes

Hi,

Yep, we're looking to get a patch out this week with fixes for this

[bru888]

Shards, don't you dare go anyplace else without checking with me. Only when I am tired of OOB will I dismiss you.

Is it right, that with the new patch 8.5.6. these problems are solved? I played this scenario last week and my four transport ships were offshore at the 30/31 round... Outcome was also surprisingly "Defeat!".

I checked today the install directory of the game (Steam) and in the Japan campaign and the Allies campaign subdirectories some scenarios got a new install date from 6.8.20.
Looks promising...

Java Sea is fine now. But don't use old mid-scenario saves from before the patch - start the scn anew.

I played this scenario again and now it works fine!

Same goes with Pearl Harbour. First try it was a Defeat despite all battleships were sunk.

Good job with the new patch 8.5.6!
