Lost Victories Bug

Post by SkyVon »

I've now encountered two bugs thus far into the game.

Sadly, I don't have all the details you will probably need to further address these issues, but I will give you what I can.

Bug 1: At the start of scenario 4, after click the continue button, the screen went crazy, flashing all kinds of stuff with the main screen all a mess and the bottom text box still showing information from my previous game.

Bug 2: (just happened) While playing the "defend Dubrow <sp>" scenario, well into the game I lost a tank, all of a sudden the game froze with a small timer appearing in the lower right corner. This timer would get down to 0 then reset to about 50 seconds and repeat. I click on the NEXT TURN button and got a "waiting for other players to join" (or something like that) mssg. The game then froze. I alt-tab'd out, ctrl-alt-del the game are restarted the scenario, hoping I only lost that last turn...nope, I have to start the scenario from turn 1 all over again.

Sorry I couldn't be more detailed than this, if you need more info that I can possibly provide, ask away.

I also had the countdown timer appear, then re-appear each time I tried to move a unit. I left it for a while until it had stopped counting down, then exited the game (saving as I went). I shut down SP and restarted, and this took me back to exactly where I left off (it had done some strange things to me preferences though).

Hope this helps for any future occurences.

Our doubts are traitors, and make us lose the good we oft might win by fearing to attempt.
