"select Air Unit" in Mouse over

[Cad908]

I have run into this little oddity, but have not been able to master the keystrokes that get me there. Essentially whenever I restructure my air force, the mouse over will revert to "Select Air Unit" instead of the normal display in all modes. It seems to be related to upgrading air units to new models, but it is not consistent, nor have I been able to repeat it. I move around, and no problems. Couple of turns later, do the same things, I think, and there it is.

A program restart clears it up.

Save attached if it is of any use.

Thanks

Save.

It is the same kind of oddity as "view hex" popup. [:@]

I'll try to look at it, but it is one of the toughest bugs on the list.

I had this happen a few times, with the current patch ( 1.03 ); often at the top the game thinks it's a different turn than it really is, though the units on the map are in the right place.

What are the symptoms?

[randallw]

At the top of the screen it would mention the last game loaded, which would sometimes be a few turns back, but the turn number in the upper right would be okay.

I haven't had the problem lately.

The playability problem would be that the cursor could be moved anywhere, and a little popup would say "select this air unit".  If the cursor was on top on an enemy ground unit the info box (for unit ID, CV, DV, detection level and that other stuff ) wouldn't show up.

Yes, this one is very known. I made some adjustments for the map popups. Don't know if they will solve the problem. Fingers crossed.

Hmm.. so the file loaded is not the same displayed on the top, right?

[randallw]

That may be the case...i'm not sure.  The units seem to be in the right place on the map, and the turn number in the upper right corner is correct...but obviously the game is experiencing confusion.

Helpless,

OK, I stumbled into one method of recreating this display oddity.

Load the save I attached above.

From that, I went to hex 98,51 near Vyazma as detailed in the photo.

Now, from either airbase, we need to attach a unit from the reserve. For my test I selected the 148 IAP with an experience of 56.

If to go to either airbase and select the 148 IAP from the reserve directly without any sort, it works fine.

If from the national reserve you sort by experience once, ie get the units to align from low to high, and select the 148 IAP it works properly.

HOWEVER, if from the national reserve you sort by experience TWICE, ie to the the units ordered from high to low, and select the unit you will get the bug. (Note, could you request, for me anyway, that when ordering, one click gets to high to low, it seems more intuitive to me)

Note, when one uses the "select by type" option, the same ordering phenomenon described about still holds, and you will be the display bug after the second selection of experience.

Don't know if any of this helps, but I feel better knowing what to avoid.

Thanks

Any news on "select this air unit"? This is breaking my pbem.

Hi all,

We had several similar issues and they were (but very very hard) fixed!

The problem is that we need exact info how to repeatable cause this to happen...


Can this info be provided?

I've no idea what caused this but it's possible that changing message level has changed "view this air unit" to just "view this unit."

Does this stop at any point, like when you end a turn?

Nope... only WitE restart helps...

Thanks mate, you're a life saver.

Had this bug myself after messing with the airforce

I cant remember any steps to create it though

I just restarted the game
