This may or may not be related to the patch but something screwy is going on in the last turn of my PBEM. Running 1108p3

The combat replay results don't match the turn. When I first run the combat replay CL Sumatra getting torpedoed east of Noumea and there's no air action north of Tenant creek. The turn I received shows aircraft damaged from a large air battle north of Tenant creek (bomber types match) but no damage to CL Sumatra.

If I run the combat replay a second time- CL Sumatra doesn’t get torpedoed but the big air battle happens north of Tenant creek (which matches the aircraft losses showing in the turn intel screen).

The results are 100% repeatable. If I save the combat replay from the email my opponent sent to my AE directory, the first time I run the replay I get CL Sumatra torpedoed and no air battle north of Tenant creek. Run it the second time and the air battle happens but CL Sumatra doesn't feature.

Is this a possible bug or could it be a result of the combat replay being a different "run" (resolution of turn) from the actual saved turn.

And whats with the combat replay changing depending on how many times you view it- it's like there's a "counter" in there (or in the program) which influences the results.

Cheers,

Daniel

I have noticed a problem with minelaying missions that has recently developed. If you try to load mines onto a sub or mine capable ship it says that the vessel is already loaded with mines and does not load them. Mine ammo shows zero. I am playing Japan in a PBEM and found thes because I wanted to do defensive mining of my harbors. After the minelayers laid their initial load of mines the problem developed and I could not reload even though I had ample stocks of the mine devices needed. then tried with the minelaying subs (I-121-124) and found same problem.

Using 1108M so the problem was existing in that variant.

Looks like it is something like that- the second and third replay appear to be the same.

After 3 hours of replaying this turns again and again, I beleive I have found it.
There is one global variable that is not getting set for sub attacks under some conditions - it starts out as 0 when game is first started.
As save is played the value gets updated.
But the next loaded save is using the last value stored in that global variable. That variable is then changing the order randoms are being used between the two runs.

I have set the global value when sub attack first starts so it will be set no matter where it is to be used in the function.
And this seems to make the turns play out the same.

Thanks Michael- even though it's a sub variable- does it also make the air attacks line up as well? (which were different between the two replays).

Cheers,

Daniel

New land combat seems to work. Support is now rarely targetted. We will see how it influence land situation in long term...

Two small bugs:
1) When you "request veteran" for air unit, you can choose specific specialisation, but when I click one of them (like fighter) it seems everything is sorted right, but ALL of categories turn yellow, instead only the one clicked (upper picture).

2) Cost of bringing back destroyed LCU seems to increase everytime you just check this unit, for the ones costing more than, err... 30? Take a look at 2 lowest pictures below. I have checked 11th Indian Div, and then clicked exit on the screen. Initially this unit costed 70, but when I exit "Destroyed LCU" screen, and return to it, the unit I just checked seems to cost 10 points more. It happens everytime (in this case I have checked, exited, and returned to screen twice, and unit cost now 90 points)

Oh, one more thing.

Can we get back report about destroyed planes, when base with airgoups falls? Everytime I see only "no flights", and "No Allied losses", but planes, and its units are lost.

Save game file. Extension changed to jpg to allow upload. File is really .pws for slot 11

Michael,
Here are some screenies illustrating that mines are not loading onto ships or subs.
Save game file in next post.

Can't you just rename it to have a .pws extension?
