PSP - More Bugs

[nocustomerservice]

I have a ship marroned in the Med, at the start of each turn it starts as if already moved ie does not flash, and is effectively useless.
If the game crashes (run out of battery power mid turn or run out of oil and your PSP crashes) and you then restart the last saved game then often units come back at full strength even though they are already almost dead and you also lose use of the Suez canal even until the start of your next turn, even if you still have control of it.
I attacked a squadron of aircraft in Berut (why they didnt fly off before my tanks trundled up is another matter) the aircraft retreated into the Med, from where they conducted flying operations for the next 6 months or so! Also when they retreated they revealed another enemy corps beneth them in the same hex, surprise surprise!

Which version of the game do you have (what is the publisher name on the box?) and where was it purchased? The specific version may help us work out why you are seeing these issues.

Cheers

Sorry you are having probelms. Is it possible to send us a saved game from the PSP with these issues and make sure you tell us in the mail what the issues are in detail and if possible how to repeat them? We've not had them reported before so we need to try and work out what is causing them. If the game crashes anythign could happen to be honest as the game is not performing as intended at that point so these bugs may be related to the crash but maybe not so we'd like to take a look and see if we can track them down. Are the issues related to any game settings - i.e. always with oil on?

I dont have time to do your quality testing for you.

[IainMcNeil]

I can understand why you're frustrated with the game but we have not asked you to do any QA. We have asked you to send us a saved game file and tell us when the problem occured so we can fix it. In the thousands of hours of testing we did we never experienced this issue so you must be doing something different to us and this is why we'd like to see your saved data so we can work that out. I'm not sure what more we can do - if you can think of something let us know.

Military History is the brand, I need the publisher (it should be on the front of the box in a small label), and also the store you bought it in. Sometimes there are specific versions for specific retailers.

Thanks

I've experienced bugs similar to this one on the PSP. BTW I downloaded the PSN version (it looks like I made a right choice to avoid the oil bug). I've seen the surprise Corps that appears underneath the retreating fighter twice (of course this fighter retreated into Syria, not the med).

I'm fairly confident I can reproduce it. If I do I can probably send you the save game file at the start of the turn before the attack and then after the attack (of course it will take me some time to do so since it means starting a new game ... in 1940 I think).

Also I can confirm the error that if your PSP crashes for whatever reason, loading up the last save game will make you lose access to Suez temporarily until the next turn (there's a message announcing that the Axis now control the Suez Canal). In addition, I've seen leaders become available again for purchase under this situation. In my case before the crash I had Rommel and Manstein assigned to armor units. After the crash, Rommel appeared available (his secret twin brother!) for purchase again.

Sorry you are having problems and thanks for the info - if you send us the saved game we can have a look but getting patches out is quite a lengthy process so we only do it when we have enough issues reported to make it viable as this is such an old game and the developer no longer exists. Any saves should go to info@slitherine.co.uk with details about the bug and how to reproduce it.
