Ground strike/strategic bombing bug

Post by Twisted1 »

I post my first bug report in the forum recently, but I am having an issue on trying to work around it.

It involves ground strikes and strategic bombing. The bug is that it will not allow you to return planes to base
after performing the action. It also will not allow you to continue the game.

Has anyone else gotten this bug? If so, do you have a work around?

Thanks!

I fixed this earlier this week.

The work-around is easy.

Save the game just before the strategic bombing phase. After you restore it, the strategic bombers will return to base normally.

The bug had to do with an internal variable set as if a form had been left open. I am not sure, but it probably only affected head-to-head play.

My correction to the code was to merely reset/clear the internal variable at the end of the DOW phase.
