Leader error bug - 11/14/2012 6:24:09 PM

I have been testing out a new OOB for the Germans in EF Barbarossa campaign for about the last year or so and i have noticed a really glaring bug. This affects leader units only. At the top of the unit card, in the place were the name/rank is, the name is slowly migrating to the left off the unit card. I am up to June of 42, and for my non-core leaders, the rank has completely moved off the card.....for my Battalion core leaders, they are about halfway to the left....and for my personal character it is about a third of the way.

Has anyone else noticed this? I havent played this far into Barbarossa before since Matrix released the game, but i have played when it was Talonsoft and i didnt have that problem.

Is this a known bug? I havent seen any threads on this before. And I dont have any screen capture software to post a pic.

Thanks guys.

Could you post a screenshot perhaps, and if you like, send me the game files, I can take a look. Also, you mentioned new oob, what did you change, if you please?

Hey Mike,

as I stated above I have no screen capture software, and I dont think the game has it imbedded either.

I completely redid the OOB creating A PanzerKorp from scratch....2 Pz Div, and a Motorized Infantry Div upgrading to a PzGren Div, plus Korp support units. I made the StuG Battalion and the Recce Battalion playable, but surprisingly didnt have to change the Company files very much....just adding a leader here and there. I havent had any problems with the units in the OOB, just leaders....and the HQ Companies. But i have solved the HQ Company problem.

From the way the problem manifested itself...I dont believe the problem lies in the OOB, I suspect it is a hard coded error, but I have no proof. If for no other reason than the fact it is a visual problem...not a game mechanical one.

if you know of any free screen capture software///send me the link and i can supply you with a screen shot.

what game files do you want me to send please be specific?

What version of windows do you have? If you have Microsoft Paint, under Programs, you can take a screenshot using Printscrn button on the keyboard, then open MSPaint and use paste or control V. Then save as a jpg and attach to the message.

The files would be all the campaign files, the ccd etc your DCG generates. Name of your character is the first part, there are 5 files.
