Order Times in Unit Dashboard

Post by rmeckman »

I'm new to this game and have been playing Tutorial #1 - The Basics. After issuing orders to all the units for turn 1, I noticed that many of the units show inaccurate times for the orders listed in their dashboards. One example for 2/ACR Trp is shown below.

Order 1 is a hasty move to hex 1221, two hexes away from the unit's starting location. With the one-minute delay I added, the Dashboard says the unit will not reach the target hex until 0742 hours, meaning it will take an hour and 41 minutes to move the 1 km. Other units show similar large time jumps at some point in their orders.

After running turn 1, it is clear that 2/ACR did not require over 1.5 hours to complete order 1, so it appears there is an issue with the way order times are generated in the dashboard. So far I have not found earlier forum posts describing this issue, although the first image in https://www.matrixgames.com/forums/view ... 9&t=397769 shows a similar time jump.

Am I misunderstanding something about the times or what they mean? I've attached the .SAV file after the turn 1 orders were completed in case it is useful.

This is not in the new beta so the amphibious stuff is still bugged.

rmeckman, please try the just released 2.1.3 update and see if you have the same issues. The new update adds a great SOP feature and squashes a number of bugs. Let us know if that helps.
OTS is looking forward to Southern Storm getting released!
