TF and Air Unit Selection Glitch
I am consistently running into a problem that when I select a TF or air unit what displays is another unit. This can be troublesome if you move a unit or transfer an air unit when you didn't want to. Below is an example. What is displayed in the big (little) window is a cargo TF, but looking below you see the transport TF is highlighted and that is the unit I clicked on to look at!!?? This also happens with air units. Select one and another appears. This has caused me grief when I transfer a air unit I did not want transferred. FYI ...

RE: TF and Air Unit Selection Glitch
This has been happening for some time. Choose a unit and the selection cascades to a different unit while the yellow outline indicating which unit is supposed to be selected is located around the unit you selected, not the unit being displayed.
I recall seeing some notation in the beta patch notes about fixing it, but I am on the next to the latest beta patch and it still happens to me all the time.

RE: TF and Air Unit Selection Glitch
I have had this ever since I have the game I think . I am on P6 at the moment - wish it would be fixed?
RE: TF and Air Unit Selection Glitch
I have the last official patch installed and happens to me too. Especially when opening squadrons, it usually jumps to the second one.

RE: TF and Air Unit Selection Glitch
I have even clicked on an air group button (rectangular one at bottom) and got the port screen to open!! Some one should look into fixing this.

What patch version are you using?
Version 1.0.4.1106i ... right from the DL site and it appears to be the most current. I don't use the beta patches.

Let me get this straight - you're asking for support(which would require a patch), but then unwilling to apply(use) that support in the form of a beta patch?ORIGINAL: Capt Cliff

They might have, but as you don't use the beta - how would you know? For the record it has improved but I believe there is still a memory glitch. Restarting the game under the beta usually fixes it.
Anyway - Sorry for being blunt but your request doesn't seem logical[&:]

Damian, I think that what he is missing is the knowledge that when the next "official" patch comes out that will probably be the end of the line. So far no one has (I presume no one has anyway [:D]) told Michael to turn off the Beta machine but that would presumably occur when the last "official" patch is issued.
Since I (and I suspect a number of people) think that the game and especially the interface has enormously improved since the last "official" patch, I hope that we can stay in this perpetual beta mode until Michael crashes from sheer overwork.
All hail Michael! [&o][&o]

Amen to that .. keep it rolling on!ORIGINAL: pompack

There has been several fixes applied during beta to try to stop this. The latest fix being in beta 1108q9 (end of Oct 2011)[:)]

RE: TF and Air Unit Selection Glitch
OK thats good Michael , I am on P6 and have all sorts of problems ( which i just live with - yes I also get air units opening port screens etc...).
My opponents only want to update when the next official patch comes out so I guess I will have to wait.

I'm running 1108r3, the latest beta and it still does it constantly.
Hans
RE: TF and Air Unit Selection Glitch
I'm running r3 also, and see it occassionally. If I restart it goes away for me and may not re-appear for some time (meaning a day or two). Also, I have not been able to isolate any particular set of keystrokes which does it. Sorry. For me it is an unrepeatable error and so I have not reported it prior to this.

Dam you, you arrogant moron, butt out fool. There is official patch on the download site and the "beta" patch you get from the forum. That is what I was referring to, use you brain for something other than a sponge for your own voice. Arrogant forum troll.

I hope this helped bring this to light. Seems like even the most recent beta patch has problems.

I think someone peed in your Wheaties this morning. [X(]
That was a seriously un-called for overreaction. What Damian was trying to point out to you is that anything that might "fix" this problem will only go into the Beta patch. If you don't use the Beta patch, you will never get the fix. One day, down the road, the comprehensive beta patch will be officially released as the next patch, but that still may be a long time from now. It may be that you just didn't understand the relationship between the official and beta patches, but Damian did not deserve that! [:-]
