Any estimates on when the game bugs will be cleared?

Sorta:

I've got no ETF yet. I haven't been in Mantis for a while (Intentional since I do not want to get sidetracked) and will not until I get the PBEM functioning properly and 1.08 gets released. I need to get 1.08 out and done then I will resume Mantis. I'm adding very little (if any) new stuff to 1.08 so that this release can actually get released!

Now, I will be looking to help if there are any game stoppers / lockups.

Thank you

There really is not much popping on Mantis these days, except what you are already dealling with with the sim phases. There is only one other bug that locks up the game, and that is Mantis 709. The game will lock up when you try to close the help menu PDF files, but only after activating it from the combat screen (from any other screen it works fine). Once the game locks up and you have to shut down the game to get out of it and re-load the battle files (I have also heard that sometimes you get to fight the remainder of the battle on the 1:1 table).

Anyways, it is a lock up type bug, and you might want to look at it.

Mantis still shows about 31 unresolved game bugs remaining, 7 listed as major besides #709 (minor?). Fixing those remaining 7 major game bugs should be a priority in the next v1.09 update. Marshall would have to scrub the rest of the list to prioritize the rest of the minor and trivial bugs. There are also several other PBEM and UI bugs that still need fixing. We're getting closer!
