Lord Drakken -> Game stuck on conquest. (2/7/2015 12:22:07 PM)

In this game during the conquest phase there are 2 German units that need to be warped out of Finland. The game only lets one German unit get moved out and then abruptly moves on to overrun naval vessels. The game won't allow the second unit to be moved. It then allows you to end the phase.

The problem is when the Russians start their land movement in the next turn they trigger another digression to move the second unit out of Finland. The game allows you to move the unit but then you can not hit the end digression button.

This is obviously a bug. Whether it is a known one or not I do not know.

Would someone please edit my save so I can proceed with this game? Thanks in advance!

There are at least two bugs here:

First a minor one: the closest hex the program gives for relocating the German units to should be Memel. It gives however the port of Gdynia as the closest hex.

Second is a fatal one: only one of the two units can be relocated. After that, the game forces the two naval units to be rebased. If Germany than ends the phase, game freezes.

I can't use the debug tool during the conquest phase (game doesn't proceed if I use the debug tool to get one or both of the GAR out of Finland during this phase). So I can't repair this, using this gamesave. I need an earlier one (or a later one) to try to repair this for you.

It will have to wait until I go home and can get on my desktop tomorrow. Strangely the game will not even proceed out of the conquest phase on my laptop. On the desktop it proceeds all the way until the USSR land movement phase in the next turn.

Since I was playing on my desktop it has all of the autosaves available.

Here is the land movement step on the next turn. Hopefully you can edit this.



Centuur -> RE: Game stuck on conquest. (2/9/2015 5:18:00 PM)

Problem solved. I only hope you can reload the game, since we are currently a little higher on the number used.

No you can't reload a save from a higher version into a lower version. However it is quite easy with Notepad to just copy and paste the very first line of the original (lower version) save over top the corresponding line of the fixed (later version) save.

And then it will load. [:)]

Thank you Centuur! What version are you playing at? Is it publicly available? I could just update my game.




Lord Drakken -> RE: Game stuck on conquest. (2/10/2015 1:10:37 PM)

OK. That did not work. As soon as I went to move a Russian unit it went to the warp units digression anyway and got stuck.

Here is a save from the previous turn before Conquest occurred. I am so sorry to be a pain. However, I have a good 50 hours into this game and want to be able to continue.



Centuur -> RE: Game stuck on conquest. (2/10/2015 4:57:17 PM)

Here's it back with the changes.

Currently the beta test team is working with 1.3.3.3. And that one isn't public, I'm afraid...




paulderynck -> RE: Game stuck on conquest. (2/10/2015 7:19:01 PM)

Every time I've tried to use the relocate units function in the beta version, the program has froze, then crashed.

Disrupting and undisrupting work great, but I think the other functions have been left far behind by the code over the last couple years.

Is it possible to get a save from just before the turn ended and extract one of those units with a TRS or Amph (doable even if they were disrupted at that point [;)]). You'd do only that in a German Combined, and then end the turn.



Lord Drakken -> RE: Game stuck on conquest. (2/11/2015 12:49:41 PM)

I got it working with Centuur's last fix. Thank you so much!

I have so many bugs popping up in my game I don't know if I should keep reporting them.

There is only one answer for this: Yes please. Steve has been working on netplay fixes and that might have resulted in bugs on the solitair level (hopefully not). And the game has so many possibilities that is impossible for the beta team to find everything...
