Status: offline 		Here we go: 1) Map generation in generated battles broken a) Japs vs. Russ 9/39 does not give "desert battles" any more, but green maps with "sand spots"; Jungle soumd playing ... b) Victory hexes are sometimes 15points/turn and therefore ignored by the AI 2) AI drives it's vehicles into single-hex buildings again; this is unverified, could have been a trail trough a building that didn't show correctly on the map. 3) Reinforcements become part of the core force and sometimes really mess things up this way; This has been observed in "Utah to Rhine" and "Preparing the Way" premade campiagn 4) When right-clicking on enemy units the range & to-hit-% are not correctly displayed; upon first popping-up the info is there, but than overwritten as the window is re-drawn; please verify this greetings, Arralen

Status: offline 		Please refer to my posts on "Mulitplayer bugs in ver 4.4" Maps in multiplayer that have user edited vic objective leave off a random amount of them when loaded to a multiplayer battle. they show up fine in solitare generated battles. In the setup screen, the custom map option button is set to "Custom Map As Designed"

This has also been observed in the 'Heroes of the Motherland' campaign. But, to be more exact, both support units and reinforcement units became part of the core force. - Juha Virtanen -

Status: offline 		Is it just me but the vcr haven't worked properly in the recent updates. It either shows just some shots or nothing. As I remember it had been fixed already a few times - or have I missed a post or a readme. This game is great and I've been playing pbem battles continuously for about 2 months now I'm just getting tired of writing a text file of what happened during my turn.

Status: offline 		Yes, the PBEM replay problem was the first found bug in 4.4. Now that the recording is in a separate file, I'm sure that the Matrix programmers finally track this bug down. I have had SPWAW on hold for quite a while now, just waiting for the VCR to work.

Status: offline 		The Finnish unit thing is known to be an OOB bug, isn't it? Or rather, an OOB mismatch? I'm wondering if the continuing problem with support and reinforcement units winding up in the core force is the result of the scenarior and campaign data having been generated under a previous version of the game?

Congratulations ! You're the first one .. I already wondered how long it will take ???! This is an OOB bug, which is not to be mentioned here - clutters the list The OOBs are worked on, after that the scenarios must be revised, but all of this has nothing to do with patching the *.exe file, so it doesn't belong here, sorry ! But I can ashure you one thing - the Finn OOB receive special attention and will shurely one of the best ones ... think you'll be glad to hear this as you seemingly are one of those underdog-likers A.

Status: offline 		Unlike I earlier thought, the vcr problem is also in unsecure PBEM (and therefore probably in hotseat too, which is practically the same thing). When you move a lot of your troops, the vcr is filled with junk which doesn't leave room for the actual firings. Can the max file size cap (2.3MB?) be eliminated? ps. It can be connected to opponents having different fast arty settings at the beginning (buying&deployment).

Status: offline 		Has the hull mounted gun issue been addressed yet? (I know this subject has been brought up before.) Also what is the firing arc for this gun mount? I finally immobilised a M3 Lee and thought I could finally blast him point blank with a PzKpfw-38(t) in the flank but the 75mm gun shot out at 60 degrees from facing and got me. (The immobilised tank did not change facing so that bug is dead). I would have thought the gun arc was more limited than that. Reg. [This message has been edited by Reg (edited October 27, 2000).]

I have seen victory hexes that are 5 points/per turn. And AI ignores them. When you change your rec unit for non-rec unit in campaign it keeps the rec status. Steel Thunder

Status: offline 		When you tow (load) an immobilized tank with a truck, tank's crew goes to 18. Online (timed) play: SPWAW closes itself when you exit a game. Range has to be entered twice. Artillery doesn't get proper amount of smoke ammo. And of course the autosave issue. [This message has been edited by Kharan (edited October 28, 2000).]

Status: offline 		Confirming garry and Fuerte that the VCR replay is definitely still not working. Sometimes a few minutes, other times a few seconds. Artillery is set to 'slow' on both machines but neither has ever seen an artillery replay. Replay file sizes are in the 2 meg range, but what you actually see is independent of the file size. These are secure games run on machines that handled 2.3 with no problem. ------------------ Publius Cornelius Scipio Africanus

Status: offline 		I was playing an online game last night and on my first turn I noticed that my M4 platoon had two 3-man crews in addition to the normal compliment of tanks. A few turns later one of these tanks became immobilized. Later it came under fire of a Tiger tank but didn't recieve and hits. The next turn there was only a crew in the hex (3-man again), no tank, no wreck, just the crew counter. I figured I was just remembering incorrectly but later I had a M10 tank destroyer perform the same act of magic. I moved it two hexes from an enemy Tiger and the next turn there was just another 3-man crew in the hex!!! Are Tigers now equiped with Dematerialization Superdupper Ray Guns or what?!

Load anyway?" to which if you answer yes, the data screen reports the tank's crew to have 18 men. [This message has been edited by Kharan (edited October 29, 2000).]

On another note I'm getting troop movement in desert scenarios that seems less than it should be. Squads only get one hex movement no matter what the terrian. ------------------ Good hunting, Pack Rat

That is so true. And at least 'til 4.3b you cannot see that there's a stone wall (only trees) unless holding the mouse pointer over the hex. Vehicles tend to get stuck in these hexes...

Status: offline 		I had two weird bugs when I played online (timed) game with my friend. We played on LAN. 1. My friend destroy my S0 Jagdpanther, no crew members survived all dies. So S1 Jagdpanther becames formation leader. Then a couple of turns later my friend destroy that S1 Jagdpanther. Then the weird thing happens. TWO crews escaped from destroyed vehicle. One was formation leader crew and the other was "ordinary" crew. 2. My fried destroy my PSW armored car on my turn. No crew members survived. Excatly in the same moment when the vehicle blows up there appears undamaged PSW in the same hex where the wreck is! When that reborned PSW destroyed on my next turn same thing appened. I think that is just fine, now I can have immortal army of King Tigers! I think these bugs happened only in online games, I haven't had nothing like these in solitary games. Steel Thunder
