Auto Disbanding TF?

[curly.m]

I searched the forums but couldn't come up with anything so I will ask you guys [&:] Whenever I create a TF of AK only of any amount, in S.F., and then start the loading and assign a area to go, the next turn the TF gets disbanded. Anyone know why this is happening?

[von Murrin]

Not really. Auto-disband is off by default. What kind of TF? Is it only in SF? What scenario?

[curly.m]

Transport TF, scenario 15, yes only in SF. Thanks for you help

Just to be clear, you are NOT clicking the auto-disbant toggle at all?

[curly.m]

Yes I have not touched it, and make sure it is off. I have tried this through about 5 turns and everytime I create a TF of AK and pick up supplies It disbands during the computer turn.

[von Murrin]

Rather like the AI is controlling the TF? (Pure WAG here.)

Are any of these ships in the auto-convoy pool prior to assignation to the TF? Is SF in the auto-convoy base list?

[curly.m]

No, and I don't believe it is in the auto-convoy base list. Again thanks for your help

[von Murrin]

Have you posted this in the bug forum? One of the betas or Matrix staff might be able to help better, and possibly log it if indeed it is one. Have a save handy, too.

Sorry, I'm all out of ideas![&:]

[curly.m]

Thanks for the Help [:)]

[von Murrin]

No problem. Happy to do so.[:)]

2 questions

is the US West Coast set to Computer control?

Are you using and did you assign all or most of your AK's to the auto convoy system?

[curly.m]

No the west coast is not computer controlled and I have about 110 AK's in Port and only about 20-30 are assigned to auto-convoy.

This has already been posted as a bug weeks ago. It happened to me. The work-around has also been posted. For some reason, having the US West Coast on Human and the area above it "Northern Pacific" (?Game not in front of me) on Computer Control will cause this. Change that area from Computer to Human and everything in San Fran works fine.

[The Gnome]

I think it was NE Pac, turn off computer control and you'll be fine. Same thing happened to me.

[curly.m]

Thanks [&o]

[siRkid]

Plese still Pry the information he request so we can get this fixed.

[ckk]

What Pappy says it works at least until the patch[;)]

[pry]

There has been a report of this issue, a work around was posted but we never got a repeatable save from anyone so that the programmer can see what it going on and fix the dang thing...

This is not going to be fixed in the 1.2 patch, nor is it even on the to do list for patch 1.3 and I have seen both lists. So if you all want to see this one get fixed, hopefully someone will stop working around the issue and send us a save so it can get fixed.

The information I need is listed above along with a email address to send the save to.

If Kid says that we need a save for this issue as he did above you can take it to the bank that we don't have one he is the keeper of the sacred lists...
