VukyTzar -> Combat report on ground/port bombing is missing (4/24/2017 11:34:22 AM)

I recently got new PC and did clean install with 1.1.24 patch (didnt install unofficial patch) and now during air phase whenever my bombers are attacking ground troops or ports and airfields without enemy planes present I dont get any combat report. I cant even see bombings in combat report window after turn. Also I have missing aircraft sprites when I turn on combat animations. I installed Clear day map mod but I removed because I tought it caused combat reports missing but problem still occures with vanilla. Is reinstalling only option?[:(]

Are you saying you saw an attack during combat replay but it didn't show up as a report afterwards like the one pictured here?

VukyTzar -> RE: Combat report on ground/port bombing is missing (4/24/2017 3:02:55 PM)

Yep, exactly that. I do get reports on other stuff including ground combat/bombardments... I am really confused why it is happening ( I'm playing this game for almost 2 years and never had any problems so far)



geofflambert -> RE: Combat report on ground/port bombing is missing (4/24/2017 3:03:20 PM)

If so, please provide a screen grab of an air unit ordered to attack, then take a screen grab of the attack during combat replay and provide that. Then take a screen grab of the spot in the report where the attack should have shown up, given the order it appeared in during the replay.

This is airgroup assigned to bomb troops

VukyTzar -> RE: Combat report on ground/port bombing is missing (4/24/2017 3:26:56 PM)

And this is moment when they arrive but after that it just skips on to the next action in this case bombing of Khota Baru (and it shows me combat report cause there were enemy planes)

VukyTzar -> RE: Combat report on ground/port bombing is missing (4/24/2017 3:28:56 PM)

and i suppose it should show above Kota Bharu raid because it happened prior to that

VukyTzar -> RE: Combat report on ground/port bombing is missing (4/24/2017 3:30:01 PM)

geofflambert -> RE: Combat report on ground/port bombing is missing (4/24/2017 4:27:30 PM)

I have no earthly idea. Does the same thing happen when allied units attack but there's no interception?



witpqs -> RE: Combat report on ground/port bombing is missing (4/24/2017 4:35:51 PM)

I think I remember someone reporting something like this a while back. There should be a thread about it here in the tech support sub-forum. Sorry I don't have a link.



MakeeLearn -> RE: Combat report on ground/port bombing is missing (4/24/2017 5:05:21 PM)

Is the "combat animation off" having a effect on it?



Admiral DadMan -> RE: Combat report on ground/port bombing is missing (4/24/2017 5:19:17 PM)

You are not seeing it because you need to set Combat animations - ON

Is that what was found earlier?

I ask because AFAIK you are supposed to be able to get combat summaries without combat animations.



VukyTzar -> RE: Combat report on ground/port bombing is missing (4/24/2017 5:27:49 PM)

unfortunately even with combat animations on i dont se combat report... I really dont want to redo first turn again. I did clean install and problem is still here, I'll try start with clean save but I poured 45H in first turn and I dont want it to go to waste.



VukyTzar -> RE: Combat report on ground/port bombing is missing (4/24/2017 5:29:14 PM)

same thing for happens when allies attack...



MakeeLearn -> RE: Combat report on ground/port bombing is missing (4/24/2017 5:56:04 PM)

I see you had this same problem a year ago:

http://www.matrixgames.com/forums/tm.asp?m=4073032

does it still occur after playing several turns in a row? or on 1st turn?



VukyTzar -> RE: Combat report on ground/port bombing is missing (4/24/2017 6:10:24 PM)

Yeah I had similar problem but then I couldnt get any combat reports to show up ( I had full combat reports in report screen though) and I managed to solve it by reinstaling the game. That time I turned off combat reports and they simply didnt want to turn on. Oh I guess I'll have to redo the 1st turn on clean install this time [X(][:(] please if you have any ideas I would appreciate it.

P.S. why are combat reports hating me for years [8|]

edit-
I ran 5 turns and still no luck

what command line switches are you using?



the -dd_sw switch fixed Barb's reports



geofflambert -> RE: Combat report on ground/port bombing is missing (4/24/2017 6:49:46 PM)

Here's what I use:

"C:\Matrix Games\War in the Pacific Admiral's Edition\War in the Pacific Admiral Edition.exe" -fd -altFont -px1920 -py1080 -archive -cpu1 -dd_sw -deepColor



VukyTzar -> RE: Combat report on ground/port bombing is missing (4/24/2017 7:04:33 PM)

sorry for being noob but I dont know how to find those switches... are those ones on main menu; game options etc.?

Make a shortcut to "War in the Pacific Admiral Edition.exe"
Right click on shortcut then properties.
In your shortcut to C:\Matrix Games\War in the Pacific Admiral's Edition\War in the Pacific Admiral Edition.exe add the switches.

NOT THE AUTORUN SHORTCUT

"C:\Matrix Games\War in the Pacific Admiral's Edition\War in the Pacific Admiral Edition.exe" -SingleCpuOrders -deepColor -dd_sw -altFont

MakeeLearn -> RE: Combat report on ground/port bombing is missing (4/24/2017 7:11:37 PM)

If you have not been using any switches then this will totally change your game for the better.

The command line switches are covered in the "WhatsNew.pdf" in the game folder

People use different switches depending on their computer. But some switches are required for all. -deepColor -dd_sw are very important.

Been having a slow map scroll? This will fix it.



VukyTzar -> RE: Combat report on ground/port bombing is missing (4/24/2017 9:50:39 PM)

I did the thing with switches but there is no change... I tried a new game and problem is still there

First lets make sure the switches are running.

which OS are you using? Win7, Win8, Win10


Do you have slow map scrolling in game?

Are the switches right.... is the shortcut to the .exe and not the autorun?

Are you using - and not – from .pdf. Use the smaller dash.

Correct spelling of switches?

Post your Target line:

"C:\Matrix Games\War in the Pacific Admiral's Edition\War in the Pacific Admiral Edition.exe" -SingleCpuOrders -deepColor -dd_sw -altFont



VukyTzar -> RE: Combat report on ground/port bombing is missing (4/24/2017 10:40:09 PM)

I uninstalled the game did clean install and then used those switches on game exe and now it works like charm. all reports are back.

Switches are the answer! Thank you guys! [&o] I owe you a beer [:D]
