Hi Community,

i've got a problem with the Grand Campaign.
I finished GC41 and imported the core units into GC 42 (as i did succesfully with 39 and 40)

Now i found 3 units in my core shown as Infantry with strength 0 and no possibility to deploy.
In the last scenario of GC41 these units (2 strategic bomber / 1 tactical bomber) have not been used.

I searched the forum but didn't find anything, can somebody help me please?

Regards
Trillian

The 0 strength units should be ones that were destroyed from last scenario. Can you strengthen them? Also when you start a GC the reform units feature is not checked. Try starting GC 1941 and make sure this block is checked.

Sorry i'm not a native speaker, so maybe i use the wrong words.

No, the 3 units have not been played in the last scenarion of 41-campaign (stayed in reserve)

I cannot do anything with the units no upgrade, no deployment on the map, ...

What do you mean with "reform units feature" and which block should be checked?

When you start a GC you are selecting a difficulty level such as Colonel. There is an advanced tab that has the reform units box and the AI level.

Just checked.
Started GC42 new, next the screen with difficulty level and below the boxes with "weather", "supply", "fog of war", "undo" (<- my translation, playing german version)
but nothing more to click on that screen ...

I am in the US so I play the English version but you are on the correct screen and there should be a box in the upper right corner called "Advanced" If you click on that it will take you to another page with the reform unit block toward the bottom. Are you using version 1.22?

Nope, i have no box ... ???

Yes, 1.22

If you are playing on the IPad the advanced options are not implemented there yet. They will probably follow in some patch later. If you are playing on the PC look the screenshot below:

You possibly used the cheat "reform units" in your last scenario if you haven't checked the option. This causes the same behavior but unlike the option only lasts for one scenario. Try to click on the units with 0 strength and then click on the reinforcements button (only the regular one will work, not the elite one) and see if your unit returns to full strength and become deployable again. If this is the case then the mystery is solved, if not we will have to investigate further.

Sorry, i have no tabs on my screen, not basic not advanced and i have never seen them in 39,40,41 campaigns.
Yes, i used the cheat "reform units" (if this is the cheat for increasing the strength) in the scenario before (but not on these units because they have not been used).
I can do NOTHING with the units, no upgrade, no "reform", ...
I play on PC only.

Where can i check what version i have?
I installed GC Megapack a couple of weeks ago and during installation a patch was downloaded
Guess it was 1.22 but i'm not sure.

For clarification:
- I used in the last scenario of 41 campaign once (middle of the scen) the cheat "str = 10" (for Rudels Ju 87 D, sent him away instead of re-inforce and ran into an "ambush", result was strength 3 with 2 AA around...)
- All core units have been imported correctly except of the planes which have disappeared and the 3 'new' infantry

Hello Trillian, you can check the version number on the introduction screen, it is above the little flags that you use to select the language.

If you installed the MegaPack last, than the version probably will not be 1.22, but lower. I think you should first download the 1.22 patch and install that, and see if that works. You can download the file directly from here:

ftp://ftp.matrixgames.com/pub/PanzerCor ... e-v122.zip

Good luck, let us know if you still have problems.

After you patched the game to the newest version try to import the core again. I guess the old bugged import won't be fixed by that but reimporting the core hopefully solves the problem.

Just installed 1.22, started GC42 new and imported core units again.

Without the option "reform" absolutly the same as yesterday.
With the option, all units have strength 0 and so on

Then i finished the last scenario of GC41 again and went further, same results.

The reform Option must be checked.

Hmm this sounds bad. Could you upload your core file somewhere where i can download it and have a look at it? You can find it in the folder "C:\Users\<username>\Documents\my games\Panzer Corps\SaveCore". Replace <username> with your username at the computer. There will be probably multiple files named xxxxxxx.pzcor where x are numbers. You need to check the date of change to find the right one. If in doubt zip them all into one archive and upload them all and i find the right one myself. I will have a closer look at it then and maybe i can locate the problem.

No, i can't upload a file due to company restrictions.
Is this all the support can offer??

Do i really spent more than 100 hours and now i have to continue GC42 with new units, without experience,without heroes, without medals???

If i get what you are saying you got 3 new core units with 0 that you didnt buy or add yourself to your core. You say you cant increase their strenght or deploy them. Have you tried deleting them from your core? alt+D will delete them.

No, i can't even delete them.
And in the scenario before, these 3 Inf. have been 2 strategic and 1 tactical bomber (all with exp and heroes).

Well no one had such or similar error before. The easy ideas didn't work at all. Without being able to look at the situation myself all i can do is do some wild guesses which probably lead to nothing. It's as if you said for example to your mechanic that your car is not working properly, gave him a rough error description and then expected him to fix it without having a look at it. It may be possible but its not easy.

If you can't upload the files from work because of company restrictions do it from home or if you can't do it there maybe ask a friend to do it for you. The only other advice i can give you without it is to deinstall all the Panzer Corps components, after this delete the folder it was installed in (not the save game folder!), and then do a fresh installation in the following order (if you don't own certain product simply skip the step):
1) PC Wehrmacht
2) PC Afrika Korps
3) PC Allied Corps
4) The Grand Campaign DLC Megapack or the single DLCs in chronological order
5) Apply the newest patch

This will ensure nothing is possibly corrupted with your installation. After you done it import the core again and see if it helped.

Did this already this morning, exactly as you describe it ... same mess

ANY guess even the wildest is welcome!!!
