Unit vanished from map - stuck in moving status

Post by rsunley »

Hi all

I've come across an odd bug during my Netplay Global war game. I was shuffling the Japanese units around and one of my marines (the 4-4 one) disappeared from the screen after I put it down. I thought it may have been a graphics glitch as these sometimes occur. However after moving through the next phases and impulse, it did not reappear. When I look the the Units in Game form, I see that it is in a state of Moving, even though it is now my opponents impulse. Is there anything I can do to make it reappear?

Regards
Ralph

If you post your game, one of the beta testers with a debug tool can fix this unit. This is a very old bug, that happens very rarely and is not possible to reproduce, so is very hard to fix. Unfortunately, I don't know of any way to fix this without using a debug tool or editing a save file.
I thought I knew how to play this game....

I would rather not use debug tools for this. The best way to solve this problem is to check if you opponent has that unit on his map. If he can see that unit, ask him to make a gamesave, mail it to you and you can both reload the correct game.

If not, I would suggest to terminate the game and reload the autosave from the start of the movement phase.
