Next Patch?

Post by RandomAttack »

Any kind of ETA for the next patch? I know everyone has their own issues/priorities (MP problems, certain unit stats, etc.) but I'm more concerned with really basic things like combat engine issues such as unit awards not consistently applied to stats, CD for aircraft against certain AA not being used as described, etc. Hard to believe this kind of thing wasn't noticed in the extensive beta testing. Love the game, but when I feel like I *have* to check the combat log constantly just to see if my hard-earned award bonus is actually being used it really breaks the immersion. All these arguments about 1-point stat adjustments are kind of trivial when your +3 SA Inf Vet award isn't even being applied...

Good catch on bonuses not applying correctly, I obviously don't check my logs enough!

CD being used on aircraft does appear to work from what I can tell though, when are you seeing it not apply?

Note that it's only when they're firing in support that they're supposed to target the CD, so if they're initiating the attack they don't. It should be the same for fighters escorting bombers.
Mildly pretentious Swede. Goes by Path on most platforms, including Steam.

Oops! That's one on me. I wasn't reading it that way. Thanks!

If everything goes well, around Thursday-Friday next week. Slitherine are closed for Easter holidays now, so cannot do earlier.

You guys have holidays? Disgraceful! 😁

Hope you and your team have a relaxing break

Double error-- this *is* a bug as my AA is not firing in support against CD value. Also confirmed in another thread.

Wow. So AA will be more deadly with my selected trait for AA suppression becoming kills. Maybe I should restart my game for the umpteen time. Thank you. 😛

It's the difference between scattering puffs of Flak all around your target versus just slamming them with direct hits. ;)

Just to make sure we don't miss anything important for the next patch - which issues exactly are you referring to here? Any links to relevant bug reports or repro steps? Not just a question to topic starter, anyone is welcome to contribute.

There definately seems to be an issue reported with aircraft CD not being used when it should be as reported by a few members.

Yes, but it's a separate different issue. It is covered sufficiently in the Bug thread, and no further clarification is needed. Here I was asking specifically about "unit awards not consistently applied to stats".

Sorry, I thought most of these were discussed in other threads as well. I was talking about almost any unit award earned on a particular unit (+1 SA, +1HA, etc.) It often doesn't get reflected in the stats-- yet sometimes it does. And when it doesn't get reflected in the unit stats it also doesn't get reflected in the combat log (at least this part is very consistent.) But at the start of the next scenario, virtually NONE of the unit rewards are reflected in the unit stats (again, there seems to be the occasional (random?) exception). The only way to get them to show up is to upgrade/downgrade your unit, then back to the original-- voila! the stats now reflect the award(s)! BUT if you then save the game, exit entirely, then restart & reload the save, the stats have usually reset to the base values. Have to do the upgrade/downgrade thing all over again-- a real pain. Not a big deal early on, but late in campaign when virtually everyone has awards it sucks.

Edit: Save game showing effect sent.

Yes, sorry for that. We have created the patch, and the two issues from your original post in particular are fixed, but we were not fast enough to ship it so it could still go through publishing process before the weekend (it takes about two days). So now, it should be early next week. Hopefully, it will be worth the wait. It is shaping up to become the most substantial patch so far.
