FAILED(add_unit_and_update_fog_of_war_map)

Post by Randomluck »

Hello!
Thanks for the game, having a blast.
However, ran into the above error when trying to Amphib or Long Amphib a French Special Force unit out of Norway and the game crashes. This is a PBEM game, but the unit did his duty, so those poor french guys are going to be hold outs.
Oddly, the English SF unit doesn't have this problem, nor does the US SF in the Pacific.

Thank you.

Hi Randomluck,

Sorry to hear about the trouble, and thanks for the bug report.

Could you tell me the ChallengeID number so I could take a look?

Also, could you tell me which hex your unit was on when it attempted to amphibiously transport?

This could help me to try and recreate the error and then fix it as needed.

Thanks,
Hubert

Weird as it is, after on the most current turn (67/69?: May 27,1942), the unit now worked properly and the frenchmen are on their way home. Not sure if did anything, but thank you for your time.

So it looks like I've got exactly the same problem
PBEM challenge ID: 316682
Upon attempting to amphibiously(LR) evacuate the Special Forces south of Steinkjer, Norway in hex 100,18 - the game prompts with the listed error, and shuts down upon acknowledging it.

I'm holding off on playing my turn for the time being (&I've let my opponent know) so the game should be in exactly the situation where I got the error.

Update: was able to recreate the situation in Hotseat - I have a save available.

I believe this is now fixed, but if you do have a hotseat turn that you can send over I'd be happy to double check.

Please send to support@furysoftware.com with instructions on how to repeat it exactly.

Thanks!
