Auto Recon plotting bug - 9/4/2010 3:40:29 PM

I've had the game hanging in BTR (700 game turn as Allied) when I try to plot recon automatically in the Computer assist menu. Seems to happen intermittently, and especially with 2nd Tac and Med Air Command. Have to re-start. I've taken to saving the game before going into that menu, as I always have to restart the game.

Didn't happen before when I was ONLY plotting automatically. But now, I like to plot individual recce also, and tried to see if I could get the game to plot any extra that were left over. But it causes hang. Any solutions, beyond don't plot individual and computer assist together?

I had the program "hang" while auto-ploting. I found out that it was because the 200 mission limit for allies. Say you have 190 mission plotted and you auto-plot some recon mission and it goes "over" the 200 mark. The program will "hang" - actually it just process SLLLOOWWWLLY. If you leave it alone, for 5minutes or so, it'll come back and plot 200 mission. So it seems like it hangs. I restarted quite a few times before I found this out.

Yeah, that must be it. Always happened after a big plotting turn, day and night raids plus tons of recon. Thanks.
