Status: offline 		Found a problem where in a game in WF against the AI.
In the AI turn the program gets into a continuous loop when my units took OP fire at an AI unit without end ... no damage caused, no limit to ammo! Repeatable from the save. Had to kill the program with Task Manager and it has left my windows dialog boxes a nasty shade of brown.
Save game file attached. It is a zip file and I have changed the extension to txt to enable the upload.
Cheers

What was shooting at what to cause the loop?

Status: offline 		OK the Aussie infantry platoon at the zed-bend of the road moved one hex to it's present position. The German units in the adjacent hex (armoured cars, I think) then fired. The info box just reported "Infantry platoon" (no results). Then an AC from 3 or 4 hexes fired with the same non-results. Then the adjacent hex fired followed by the long range hex and so on ...
When I replayed the save game that I sent you it just started the same routine over again.
Thanks Jason
Cheers

Is this with the 1.02B temporary patch? Has it just been that armoured car, or do other units do the same thing? Assuming you can tell, does the armoured car have the normal cost of attacking as other units?

Status: offline 		Can you add the B and see if it still happens?

Keep in mind, the B temporary patch does correct an existing firing loop. It would be nice to see if it corrects yours as well.

Status: offline 		I've been experiencing this bug as well, posted a message just now about it on the forum. And now I've found this topic dealing with what appears to be the same problem.

I hear talking about a "B" patch or something? I have downloaded the 1.02 patch, but where might I find out wether it's this "B" patch, and if not where could I find it?

EDIT:
Never mind.....found the 'Temprary 1.02B' patch just now. Downloading it as we speak and gonna go and install it according to the instructions.

I will incorporate it with 1.03 that is due out around Christmas.
