Serious bug in WIR 3.3 PBEM mode

Post by while »

Start the PBEM game and march some corps, DO NOT execute "combat", save the game and exit.

Restart the game, load the saved pbem game.

You'll find that the marched unit now is re-supplied and can march again.

And each time you load an "un-combatted" pbem game:

All the factories that have production increasements in this turn will increase again.
The amount of production this turn will count again, i.e the production doubles.
The infantry squads increased this turn will double.
All the air groups set to training mode will gain extra exps.
All units on the map get infantry and readiness supplies again.
All moved and transferd units can move or transfer to set to plot again.

This problem is found on my WIR 3.3 and some players around me. PLEASE Confirm whether this is a bug and let us know.

Looking forward for a patch to be released.

Thanks a lot!

It is a bug, Arnaud has tried to fix it and at times we have thought it was fixed. On the other hand, it isn't too serious if you play your opponent without the secure PBEM, or play through without saving and opening again. If this does happen, it is fairly obvious because the wait for factories and equipment that are coming later will also advance extra for both sides, which can be spotted.

Thanks

Hi Rick,

Thanks for the suggestions, however, it's quite hard now to find someone to play WIR and we used to find opponents on net. It's a must for us to use PBEM mode. And the plan part in the early stage is quite time consuming and it would be much comfortable if we can save/load in the middle.

Another thing i found is that, only the one who load the game can benefit from it, the other side seems will not benefit forom it at all.

Is it possilbe for matrix games to publish a WIR 3.4 recently?

Thanks,
While

......While, why post it here?
Both sides can benefit from it. However, only the one who load it can get the advantage of free-moving units.
IIRC, matrix games has no plan of publishing wir3.4 at all.
