Got it!

Notice the file size is quite a bit smaller than 11.2. Have you disabled anything??

Rob.

Control+A not working anymore and the vehicles engine sound (during movement) as well are muted. Have you noticed that before? I only replaced the exe file, I am using Steam version. I have backed up the previous exe just in case. Best.

obs: I have reverted back to 11.2, the game got very slow as well. I think I will wait for the steam version.

Status: offline 		Rincovsk, thanks for the report. Did verify the odd loss of Ctrl+A, sounds are working on my end, check the FX tab to see if they are on and you can also check the Player Game Settings to see if the Unit Sound FX slider is set to zero (or very low).

As for the very slow, what scenario and what was going on at the time? It is a debug build, but it should be playing like it did in 11.2/11.1 since those where similar.

Thanks.

A group of units, say x5 platoons in a Company, all ordered to Hasty move along a road with no enemy in sight and suddenly one of the units starts moving into a hex, moving back to the hex it just came from, moving forward again etc.

Doing a little dance like a bee entering a hive.

I've had x4 units do this now. I'm playing the Belgian scenario as Belgique.

Ping me offline?

Update: I'll try pinging Jim Snyder at the OTS email address.

Update 2: email with attachment sent to Jim. Check Leo1 unit 3/A/4RL.

About 20+ popup prompts a turn saying that 'The enemy HQ has been located at hex 4320'.

Does get rather annoying and slows the game down.

It is still a little bit slower for the counters movement, just slightly I noticed, nothing serious. ControlA still missing and I have also noticed the odd units movement back and forward for some as pointed out by battlerbritain. Playing Time to Dance with soviets.Thank you for your care and support. Best.

Status: offline 		Rob took down the movement pathing bug that was causing some units to dance back and forth in certain pathing situations and he also fixed the upper right info panel to show longer names better. Next up, the flood of HQ located messages in a turn. Hopefully we can turn out a 11.4 during the week to cover these latest items and some map FP9 fixes we ran across this weekend.

More info later. Need to eat and then update the website this evening. No rest for the wicked or game designers. Not sure I like that correlation.

Status: offline 		One good thing I noticed in 2.0.11.3 was that I saw my first NATO unit ever actually turn and run.

A Belgique JPk reduced to 1 vehicle he turned and ran for about 30 hexes before stopping.

A bit far perhaps but nice to see that happening.

It also took the unit ages to recover.

Status: offline 		I have not seen a unit turn and run 30 hexes. Usually they will suspend an attack and go into screen mode or back up a couple of hexes. Nothing excessive.

Do you have a saved game file of the unit backing up 30 hexes? I would like to look at it.

I thought it was quite good though

If I see something similar I'll Save it and ping you a copy.

One other feature request:
Allow the User to Pause the game and exit, otherwise the user has to wait until the next Orders phase in order to exit the game.

I am withdrawing the above. It was pointed out to me that was a feature in debug mode only.

If I change the area at the bottom of the screen (after the start of the scenario) the tactical ops center/subunits part of the screen collapse but not the divider. This block this part of the screen.

Status: offline 		Perhaps I am doing something odd and unexpected but I try FPG_A3_A Few Good Choppers_NS as hotseat, just becose I am curios how the choppers react when the soviet have different orders.

The soviets dont cross bridges and stay within the corner. Only some recon and the HQ react as expected.

Status: offline 		Capn Darwin,

I seem to be having problems with the Editor. When I select Load Scenario File, "HL_AS 3rd Herd", I get these errors, Could not find supporting data for "American (1979-1989). The xls file containing it may be missing or modified without authorization. The forces page for this side is disabled. It happens the same thing for the Soviet file.

The scenario loads but the Set Key Parameters, Player 1 and Player 2 is grayed out. Has anybody else have this problem or is it just me?
