2.8.4. Air-to-Air Bug. Game left in Limbo.

[rkr1958]

MWiF v2.8.4. To recreate this bug, set die rolls to clear CW and Italian bombers. Then, abort the air to air by either one or both sides. CVP plane (if applicable) can return back to its CV. After that, you cannot proceed with this naval air battle. The game, technically isn't frozen (i.e., one can open forms, click on main or global map, etc.) but the phase button remains grayed out and there's no form that pops up to allow one to proceed. The game is left in limbo.

I ran it twice with the latest beta version (2.8.4.15) and it worked fine. Steve has done a lot of work on the air combat sequence, so you should not have this issue once the next public beta comes out.

Thanks! Any ETA on when the next public beta will be out?

I'm playing with the current version and I'm running into similar issues in air to air. It hangs up often like it's waiting for input but I can't find the dialogue box to click on. It's already ruined two run throughs of the final battle of the IJN in the China Sea.

It seems to only happen to me during naval air battles. Until we get the updated patch the only way through I've found is to run those battles with 2.7.5.
