Since non of teh testers could get teh 'yugo' bug to happen, we have been sending it out to players who experiencedd the Yugo bug to see if it worked. IT seems to. CHeck the tech support forum. It indeed doesn't seem very widespread becasue I have not been asked for very many patches...

The 'real' ver7 will have few extra fixes and new OOBs. We hope to have it ready soon.

Well, I am going to need that patch.

Remember me, I was the one complaining about the hard time I had to get past the first mission (got hit by the yugo among other things)?

After gathering some willpower to try again (I just enjoy SP too much), I managed to pass it, and at the end of the second missons, the yugo hit me again!!!

Like that damn 40AA .. boom boom boom shooting a hundred times killing everything that tried to approach it (infantry, Pz III, PZ IV you name it).
That is until I learned how to deal with it.

And my proud AfrikaKorps career came to a chrashing halt, shot down again by the yugo 40AA bug.

Starting up from my backup of the last turn of my last misson gives me the same result. So there seems to be no way to continue.

Paul, you will be getting an e-mail from me asking for that beta patch. I would be willing to test the 7.0, I'm a sure yugo.

Just what the heck is the "yugo" bug anyway?? <img src="confused.gif" border="0">

Alby, consider yourself one of the lucky guys not to know the yugo bug

The yugo bug is a bug that appears when you start a new mission in megacampaign save game (that's the only time I have encountered it). Instead of jumping directly into the map of turn 1 of the current mission, you are greeted by the turn start screen saying you are the yugoslavian player and the five buttons which allows you to start the turn, save the game, quit orders, exit battle etc.

When you press start the turn, the game chrashes.
When you press quit orders, you win the game with the same result as your previous battle and continue to the next battle.

Well we now have the OOB Manager, so the idea of haivng multiple OOBs and a better way to switch between them may have made the point less of a problem...

I think the best compromise it to have the game install with the Version 7 oobs in the OOB manager ready to be used if the player wants, but to default to the ones the MCLV guys have been testing with.

After making it through the Desert Fox Mega-Campaign the first time with no problems from the Yugoslavia bug, I've run into it several times in the last week. I'd appreciate the patch for it, if it's still available. Thanks!
