Odd bug in BA on iOS, Market Garden campaign, mission 5

[thepitcanary]

Hi there

Getting a weird bug on mission 5 (counter attack) in Battle Academy on iPad where at the start of the mission the Arnhem bridge joins the land, but after turn one it seems to have lifted 10 ft off the ground. Units crossing the bridge now appear under it, and cannot be directly fired upon. It's made the mission (and the campaign as it's a carry over) unplayable sadly.

As you can see from the attached image, it's really buggered - that bridge is supposed to join the ground!

Any input from Slitherine welcome here - I've restarted the mission afresh several times and it's done the same thing each time.

Hmmm. It does look like there is a problem there. It should only occur on a reload though, from what we can tell. We can't repeat simply on an end turn.

Looks like we will need to get a fix out for this.

Thanks for reporting.

Cheers

Sadly my days of being able to do any gaming in one session are years past All missions are reloaded at some point so no wonder I've seen this happen every time. Thanks for looking into it - it's a great campaign and I'd love to get through it.

I also I have the same problem, playing on PC.

This is fixed and a new version is in approval with Apple. Once we are approved we will be releasing and update across all platforms.

I think this needs a fix in the PC version as well....

The bridge doesn't match the road height, so you can't see the vehicles on the bridge (just their indicators).

Also, I assume I'm doing something wrong strategy-wise......I don't see how I can keep back the hordes....when do the reinforcements arrive? (is there a turn-number I should be aiming for)

Hi guys,

it is fixed and we are just waiting for final approval from Apple before the patch becomes available - we have to keep all versions synced up.

Thanks for your patience.

Sorry i missed the "all platforms" part of your earlier post.

But seriously...I assume it's still winnable without the patch....anyone have hints? My men might mutiny on me soon.
(if there is a subforum dedicated to scenario strategy....let me know)

I remember seeing a thread a while ago with some tips on this mission that might be of interest once the bridge issue is resolved. Here it is:

Thanks for fixing the bug....However I maintain this mission seems impossible. (I have read the thread above)

I think I'm coming to the conclusion that I have to start the campaign over and get all achievements/checkmarks for each one. Is there a FAQ on carryovers or specifically for Market Garden, that states how they work and how you know you've got the maximum.

Hi, I have installed the upgrade on iPad, and it works on mission 5. Unfortunately on mission 6 I had the same bug, and this doesn't seem to have been fixed by the upgrade.

Has anyone else found the same thing?

The update should have fixed the issue in mission 6 as well. If you are playing from a saved game created before the update, you may need to start the mission over.

Guys, Did you fix this by changing the ID code for the Market Garden bridges?
One of the GJS'44 maps, Hillman, now appears with six massive bridges that weren't there before?
I'm wondering what you swapped...

There were no changes to the objects themselves, just a correction to how the elevation of an object was determined.

Thanks Andrew... Bit of an odd one. BA seems to have swapped six Large Bunkers for six Arnhem Bridges. Possibly something I accidentally triggered when I was setting Tank Traps to "HIDE", but hasn't affected anything except bunkers... I've just deleted the bridges and put the bunkers back. Everything seems fine again now... Computers, lol!

The editor put an Arnhem bridge when the .BAM file has a missing object.

Aha! Thanks Alex... that makes sense... Now I wonder what went missing from the .BAM...Hmmm?
