Placement of units halts game

[CanInf]

With the latest patch issued Nov 10, I ended up with the following problem. Perhaps its just me...

In the attached game, once I get to France place units I place two land units in the only available spot in Vichy. There are two remaining land units which cannot be placed. The program tells me so in a pop up screen. I hit OK, but then cant progress. The end phase button remains greyed out. any suggestions....

it is a hotseat game

If I load this game, it immediately proceeds to the German set up phase. It appears France has already set up it's reinforcements.

Since I cannot set up the French reinforcements in the first place (the save doesn't allow me to), I can't be completely certain, but this bug might have been fixed in the version we are now using. But to be certain, if you have a saved game from before the French set their reïnforcement up, it would come in very handy (especially since this section of the game is being worked on regarding Netplay issues and we've been asked to test the game on this item).

I saved when I was asked to place the french units but the saved file starts at the beginning of the the place units phase. In other words you have to place units for the axis, then the UK before you get to place for the French. I just tried to save again at the French place units sub phase, but once again the new saved file opens at the very start of the place units phase and I again had to place units for the axis and UK before I could place the French. Once I did place the French the same thing happened: the end phase button was greyed out.

does that help...

With this information, I tried it again and your right. The game simply freezes when you can't place the French.

Guess there's no way round this one ehhh?

[Centuur]

No. I've reported this to be a critical bug, so I hope Steve picks this up as fast as possible...

[CanInf]

thanks!

[CanInf]

it would be great of this one happened to be fixed by this weekend! just wanted to have the mates round for some good ol WiF

I am guessing the new beta released today will not solve this issue. Is that correct?

[paulderynck]

Alas, I tried it with the development beta from just before the release and it still is not allowing the game to progress.

[CanInf]

darn! if I wanted to do a hotseat game would it be more stable to restart as a solitaire game and just close our eyes for certain phases...

appreciate you looking into this!

I found playing a solitaire game multiplayer worked the best. We used Skype and teamviewer and everything went well. At least so far lol.

We also used the last beta, not the one just released on 12/16/2014

[CanInf]

right, I think we'll restart in solitaire mode.

Thanks!

I checked and the new hot fix (1.3.1.5) solves this bug.

Thank you!!!! What a great Christmas present!!!! Just in the nick of time!
