(CZ Campaign) Combat readiness drop for no reason

Post by Tcao »

Noticed that in CZ Campaign my units' Combat readiness dropped for no reason. I noticed this problem in scenario 2, but didn't make a screenshot. Here on Scenario 3 this issue became intolerable

This was taken at 1419, as you can see from the log this Tank Co arrived in destination on 1406, combat readiness at 82% and began to dug in. Current Readiness at 83%

Then at 1444, it dropped to 63%! it didn't experience any artillery strike. Just sit there peacefully caused the readiness drops

at 1508, it is at 36%!!!

Is it possible this is related to Dug in status???

Do you have save games during this issue? That is very odd behavior.

"Crossin the Waldnaab" seems to have similar issue. It looks like this is related to S/L ????

will dig into this later today

Confirmed
This is a bug related to S/L , it impacts the "screen" and "hold" orders on player side.

Tutorial 1. The US M1 Plt.
Here is a separate issue I am not sure if it is a Bug or WAD. At the beginning of the scenario (0600) all US units are at 100% readiness. But after you hit start, they will drop to 85% readiness. slowly recovery to 87 at 0615, 90 at 0632 then 93. At least it is slowly recovery to 100%

But let's save the game at 2nd turn, 0615. Exit to the main menu, load the save file. The readiness dropped to 74!!! Save the game again, load the save file, now it dropped to 63.

I guess technically you can low this to 0 by repeating the S/L
the bottom screenshot is the 10th S/L, as you can see the readiness is at 17%.

OK thanks!

I also noticed that if you change a rest & refit at 100% unit to screen or hold, the readiness will immediately drop to 85%. Is that a WAD feature or a bug?

This will be fixed for the next release. Thanks for all the detail as it made it much easier to diagnose and troubleshoot!
