Missing Commit button to move in plotting mode

Post by WABAC »

I have seen this every once in a while. I turn off the browser, restart the game, and problem solved. Until today after installing the latest patch.

This time I was playing Ride of the 12th Cuirassers. I was getting hosed as the French. But everything was was working as expected. So I thought I would try the Soviet side to see how the AI plays with those AMX30 Matchbox tanks

And then I got this:

Hitting the Enter key does seem to work. Took me a while to figure out it was an option. Had to read the screen. :oops:

I turned off the browser, restarted the game, and tried again. No commit button, switched to the French side, no commit button. Loaded up A Brief Moment in Time, no commit button.

I am running Windows 10 Pro on an old I5-2400S with 16GB of RAM.

Let me know if you need anything else.

Did you, by change, edit SOPs and set a unit Direct Support of another unit, just prior to this problem?

I may have done that with the French before switching to the Soviet side. I think I placed one of the artillery regiments directly under the armor brigade. I didn't make any changes in the subsequent tries.

I did leave the computer on all night. And I had no problems playing a scenario the next morning starting with the game off.

Here's a save game for the problem coming up during setup. The commit button disappeared after I had already committed a few destinations.

All I can add is that the game has been on since I ran three turns this morning about the issue posted under the Final Push thread. I also tried to recreate the issue loading the prior French turn, running that, and then switching to the Russian side. But everything worked as expected.

I should add that I did investigate changing support of a tank platoon; I think it was the 4/PzBtl 124. I tried to put it in support of another platoon. But I have never been able to change any type of unit off supporting the default specified HQ by clicking on another HQ as the screen seems to suggest is possible.

I am a little farther into the game and I find that I cannot manually plot artillery fire.
