Weird Screen

Post by Admiral Delabroglio »

Hello

During a major battle, I noticed a weird graphic effect.

I attacked a 16 unit Austrian army with a 15 unit French one, led by Napoleon. I had 3 artillery units with the horse artillery upgrade and played the "Genius" card. The Austrian army was mostly infantry, mine was balanced and quite a bit stronger, so I thought I'd smite his line into oblivion using only my artillery and I clicked on "pass turn" to cycle through the combat rounds.

Apparently, I clicked too fast, the icon of a reinforcing Austrian unit got stuck behind the Austrian battle line.

If you put the game into the background (Using the Windows Key or Alt-Tab) and then restore the game, it might be able to recover. I'll try to duplicate this myself and see what happened. The game shouldn't get "confused" by extraneous clicks, of course.

Thanks for reporting this.

I believe that I have duplicated this error and corrected it. As far as I can tell, the error is cosmetic in nature. The board piece is added to the appropriate area on the battle board. But the animation that was showing its movement was incorrectly interrupted by the mouse click and so that moving piece's final location (in terms of coordinates) winds up being incorrect.

The gist of it is that this should be corrected in the next update. In the meantime, you should be able to play through it by assuming/realizing that the board piece is in fact in the front-line area that it was moving to. At least, this is what I saw when I managed to duplicate the error on my machine. Of course, this reasoning assumes that I haven't found a different problem. But I don't think that I did.

Thanks for reporting this!
