Re: abandoned

Not abandoned by players, though. It's a pitty efforts weren't focused in having a stable single player experience, and then build upon it to add other features. I feel that before the solitary mode was polished, a lot of time was put in multiplayer (and then we had two bugged game modes), and befor...

Search & seizure: a bug and workaround

Hi, Attached to this message there is a game save. When the German player has the chance to Search & Seizure, independently of what he chooses, the game gets stuck and doesn't continue to the next phase. Work around : open the US entry pool window and close it, and the game unlocks itself and co...

Re: Factory rail movement: a bug and a question

Thanks for your help. Unfortunately this is a couple of impulses old gamesave, that's why I asked if I could move the factories editing the gamefile.

It's a pity I didn't think of reorganizing a unit for moving the factory. It's an smart workaround.

Re: Factory rail movement: a bug and a question

Hi, In a current game, I noticed that if the USSR doesn't have any land unit capable of moving by rail, the game skips this phase completely (preventing the player from moving factories, for example). I guess this is a bug as the game should check if there are units & factories to be moved. Thi...

Re: Factory rail movement: a bug and a question

Were axis units in Russia when this happened, (FREX Barbarossa had just begun)? You cannot rail a factory until an enemy unit controls a hex in your home country. Not Russia. Well, not trying to raise any polemics here, but Germans are in Ukraine which I guess is part of the home country (Soviet Un...

Re: 2023 WIF AI Progress Report

Improving convoys will not get us sales Although I understand your point, I don't think it's a matter or one or the other (AI or bugs). An AI opponent will still need to do convoy routes correctly. A game against AI will still be unplayable if the game gets stuck. Anything that helps solitary game,...

Re: Game stuck in Search & Seizure

"Is that option on?" I don't even see it in the optional rules panel, so I can't switch it off. I remember the game asked me some time ago if I wanted to search & seize, and if asked yes you got a pop-up saying it wasn't implemented. But now, whether I say yes (the US gets some chits i...

Game stuck in Search & Seizure [SOLVED]

Hi,
I'm playing on 5.0.0.10 and the game gets stuck after the Search & Seizure phase. Whether I perform the action or not, the game doesn't advance to the next phase.

Re: How is WEGO implemented in this game?

It still looks like an amazing game, and I'm sure I'll end up purchasing on the next sale.

Mine is just a general moan on WEGO games, as I think it's a missing oportunity to add flexibility to game play.

Perhaps I should try to implement something like that myself... :)

Re: How is WEGO implemented in this game?

Hi, Thanks again for your quick answer. From it, it seems the game works the same way as War in the Pacific. In WitP, when playing PBEM, first the Japanese gives the orders to their troops. The American player has to wait until the Japanese finishes and sends the file to the American to start giving...

Re: How is WEGO implemented in this game?

Thanks for your answer. But can both players give orders at the same time, or does one player have to wait until the other one has issued his orders, in order to play?

Thanks

How is WEGO implemented in this game?

Hi, I'm interested in purchasing this game, but and important factor to me is knowing how the WEGO is implemented. I have tried to find it in the forum and game description, but I haven't. I'm sorry if it has been explained already. I know that players issue orders that are implemented at the same t...

Are you playing with isolated reorg on? If so, try disabling it by left-clicking (I think, if not, then right-clicking) on the optional rule.
No, that optional rule is not activated.

5.0.0.10 very slow when moving land units

Hi, I installed recently version 5.0.0.10 (Debug) after getting a recommendation for doing so after some other bug I experienced in version 3.2.0. https://www.matrixgames.com/forums/viewtopic.php?f=10700&t=402938 The problem I have now on 5.0.0.10 is that the game freezes for a few seconds (5-10...

Re: Saved game not opening

Why are you using dropbox for file swapping, when you are using whatsapp already? Because you can't save/load your files directly from Whatsapp, but we can have a repository of current and past files in a Dropbox folder, which is automatically updated. Plus, the files and messages/images don't get ...

Thanks! That will do. We are playing multiplayer, but it's basically a solitary game where we share files by Dropbox and ask questions over whatsapp.

Thanks! I didn't think of looking at the end of the file (I didn't know how it should look like either).
