Bugged Units and bug in research

[wbonx]

During my current game I encountered 2 major bugs.

In the present turn (today so should not be related from the few days ago update), a couple of my jnits at the front appeared without icon and with a 0 on them. they were not attacked. Clicking on them reports them empty (also no stats nor HQ picture).

Earlier in the same game some how I didn't get notified that a tech research was finished, I checked many turns after out of curiosity and I noticed nothing was being researched, nothing could be discovered and I had accumulated around 2000> points, all eventually trashed later when the first discovery was done again.
This happened twice, with military and applied science research.

Normally I would have expected the usual Decision to choose the next focus, but I guess it didn't happen.

Now, late game I'm 2/3 points behing in research and I'm getting hammenered by my neighbour with lasers and advanced combat armour (playing on hard).

I'm playing with the last patch .e I guess, and oceania active.

Forgot the picture, units are in the mid, the previous round there was no problem.

Tried reloading older saves, I get the same result. The same units get set to zero.

Guess I'm supposed to drop this run since I would endpup with the same problem later?

It is not related to a specific unit type, the 2 units in the picture are different (soldiers/artillery).

This is almost certainly because you've set the quality of the models that were previously in the units to obsolete, or to a quality level you've set the units to disallow. Setting a model to obsolete effectively disallows it in all units, so the models will be returned to SHQ ASAP.

Ok, this could be the case, didn't know units could become empty, I thought they would only refuse new units of the obsolete type, not sending back the whole army and become empty?

Will test it tomorrow.

The research bug was also an issue I encountered, I'm quite certain I didn't miss the notification, and happened twice.

You were right, no bug on the units, wasthe obsolete thing I was not aware of. Out of curiosity, is it right that soldiers looose their xp after going back to the shq and then to a formation?

[Soar_Slitherine]

If you want units to turn down replacements of a certain quality but keep any they already have, you have to set that quality to Tolerated in the unit settings. They will also swap Tolerated quality models for Accepted ones.

When subunits are transferred to an unit that already has identical models of the same veterancy level, the displayed XP for those subunits is averaged. I am not sure whether this applies to their actual XP as well, or if XP is still tracked on a per-subunit basis in the background.

Subunits can also lose their veterancy level if their equipment is replaced with another model. This doesn't cause loss of XP, though it may lead to them being combined with lower-XP subunits as described above.
