Re: Grand Campaign --- Q-Ball vs Sertorius21

BTW, what strikes me about the game is the very low German HWM. I realize this is a no early end game, but will remind everyone that we designed the victory conditions to pressure the Axis player to achieve at least minimal goals in 41/42 or they lose. You could argue that we should even have a ...

Re: I'll never diss Hungarian tanks again

Assuming the Toldi IIa's were all damaged or destroyed, this is likely caused by the the bug fixed in 1.05.00. Can happen to any last element that ends up shooting.

Re: Colored Command Boxes

Did you try pressing the Esc key? Sometimes when things get out of sorts, pressing that key will bring back normalcy.

Re: v1.05.00 Public Beta Now Available!

For those playing MP server games, we strongly suggest you upgrade to this beta, especially if you are about to begin a new MP game. There were several fixes made for MP games, and one of them could be major for anyone starting a new game that may have an issue with their game options due to an ...

Re: Case Blue Phase II 42-43 Alternate major bug

Thanks for the save, we'll take a look. I started a new game and didn't have those issues, so something about your game has gone terribly wrong.

Please zip up and attach both the pre-save and after save and let me know what hex to look at for the combat. You can also email the files to 2by3@2by3games.com if you prefer. Thanks.

Re: Low Element number causes odd FPE & HPE increases - at times

Good news. Once we got the most mostly repeatable save, Pavel was able to find the bug. It should be fixed in the next update. It could happen when a certain combination of disruption and damage happened to the last element, while the element attempted to fire. It is probably rare in most games, but ...

Re: Commander's report incorrectly notes units as in Transfer Box

Looks like it shows you where it's going to end up. In the CR screen, you can filter "Transfer" units and then see where each is going.

Re: Low Element number causes odd FPE & HPE increases - at times

Ran the battle 8 times, and twice the Ansaldo caused massive loses. In the other battles, I didn't see it listed in the ground elements firing list. I'll add this to the bug list and hope it duplicates as often for Pavel as for me. Thanks.

Was it in transfer? In the save I looked at, it was in the SR so all looked ok.

Re: Possible game option problems and next beta



Joel,

I first installed with GGWarInTheEast2-SetupRelease-v01.00.07.exe, and have only been doing updates. Are you saying that I need to uninstall the game and reinstall with the next beta or patch?

Thanks.

Will the fix protect games that are already underway and have not yet been affected by the bug?


Games that have the issue will not be fixed by the next update. However, if you check your game options on the 2nd player turn or later, and they are as you expected, they should not change again for ...

In your game, the 11th Cav Div is on the map in that hex, the 11th Cav Corps is in the reserve TB.

Possible game option problems and next beta

We have confirmed that some players may run into problems with some of their game options changing mid-game. This could happen if players owned the game prior to 1.04.00 and have since upgraded to a later version. Specifically, we were able to confirm a case where the game balance country national ...
