Aranthus -> Japan and CW trade and convoy problems (6/23/2018 4:05:16 AM)
Using 2.8.7.4, and trying to set up global war. I have the US and Japanese convoys in the regular places to transport the trade. The US is getting it's build point, but Japan is not getting it's resources. And the usual problems with CW transatlantic trade are still there. That is, the program persists in routing resources through Bay of Biscay instead of Faroes. It is very difficult to get the computer to acceptchanges. When you go into route mode, call up the resource you want to change, and right click on the sea area you want to change, often nothing happens. Then when I finally get the program to accept a change, it changes it back to the wrong way when I try to fix another resource route or go to another phase. I am attaching a saved game.

This is the setup stage of the game. It is known that during that stage, production planning doesn't function correctly. However, during the first preliminary production phase, you should be able to get things right.

I am attaching a save from the same game at Axis HQ reorganization. I'll upload another when I get to preliminary production.

Aranthus -> RE: Japan and CW trade and convoy problems (6/26/2018 12:40:23 AM)
Okay. Here is the game at preliminary production. When you look at the Japanese production screen you will see that it does not show that Japan is receiving any trade from the US. If you switch to the US screen you will see that the US has the Fairbanks oil set to trade, but is sending the oil to production in the US. Other resources are set to trade, but show as "no route" even though there is a convoy chain to Japan. I have tried setting other resources to trade instead of Fairbanks, but the computer just ignores that. Likewise any changes to the other resources that are to be sent to Japan. And as usual, CW convoys and production are adversely affected as well. The system continues to route through Bay of Biscay instead of Faeroes. It's at times very difficult to change the routes. Often when I right click on the portion of the route that I want to change, nothing happens.

That's strange. If I load your game, it isn't correct and if I load a game out of my own library everything is OK. Any mods active? If not, I don't know how this is possible...

The Japan trade problem is present in the latest beta testers version. I do not know at what version level the problem began. It has been reported to Steve

It's a long shot, but only than we are sure that it's not the mod that causes this...

This is at Japanese set up, but I don't think that has anything to do with the issue. I will post a save at preliminary production when I get to that phase.

Same game at Japanese preliminary production. Except now, Japan isn't receiving the NEI oil in addition to not getting any resources from the US. This could be due to Germany declaring war on the Netherlands, but I don't think that is supposed to happen.

I don't know but I might have a workaround for you. I post the game turn in the next post. But first let me explain what I did. I reverted your game file back to 2.7.0, loaded it with that version, which handled the trade correctly and saved the file. Then I loaded that with 2.8.4.7 and it still look good. But, here's the kicker. When I saved in 2.8.4.7 and then reopened the bug reappeared. So, a potential workaround (which I haven't tried) is to open the attached (next post) game file in 2.8.4.7 and don't save until you get through production (i.e., unit builds). Now, if that works, which I don't know if it will, you'll have to do this at the end of every turn until this bug is fixed. [image]local://upfiles/31901/1F4488AFA29940319C2D86B90BC48C2A.jpg[/image]

game file. Now, if you comfortable with and can easily switch between different versions (i.e., 2.8.4.7 & 2.7.0) I'd switch 2.7.0 for the end of turn production phase and switch back to 2.8.4.7 after the build phase. I finding that I'm having to regularly switch between these two version when fighting carrier air battles (i.e., I fight those battles in 2.7.0) because 2.8.4.7 flies all carriers planes as bombers no matter what you select. Anyway, sorry for rambling.
