2.0.11.3 Open Beta Released!!!

[battlerbritain]

One good thing I noticed in 2.0.11.3 was that I saw my first NATO unit ever actually turn and run.

A Belgique JPk reduced to 1 vehicle he turned and ran for about 30 hexes before stopping.

A bit far perhaps but nice to see that happening.

It also took the unit ages to recover.

[cbelva]

I have not seen a unit turn and run 30 hexes. Usually they will suspend an attack and go into screen mode or back up a couple of hexes. Nothing excessive.

Do you have a saved game file of the unit backing up 30 hexes? I would like to look at it.

[CapnDarwin]

My guess is a morale collapse and an attempt to get back to its HQ to recover. Still should be looked at.

[battlerbritain]

No, don't have a game save with it in I don't think.

I thought it was quite good though [:)]

If I see something similar I'll Save it and ping you a copy.

One other feature request:
Allow the User to Pause the game and exit, otherwise the user has to wait until the next Orders phase in order to exit the game.

[CapnDarwin]

Pause, save and exit? That will have to wait for Southern Storm. Assuming we can make it work for all gaming cases.

[cbelva]

Hit escape and it will allow pause allowing you to continue or to end the turn at that moment. You can then save or just exit.

I am withdrawing the above. It was pointed out to me that was a feature in debug mode only.

The is a issue with the bottomline when the game is running.

If I change the area at the bottom of the screen (after the start of the scenario) the tactical ops center/subunits part of the screen collapse but not the divider. This block this part of the screen.

[CapnDarwin]

Thanks for the report Harry. Rob will look into it. We are hoping to get an 11.4 Beta out with these fixes later this week.

Perhaps I am doing something odd and unexpected but I try FPG_A3_A Few Good Choppers_NS as hotseat, just becose I am curios how the choppers react when the soviet have different orders.

The soviets dont cross bridges and stay within the corner. Only some recon and the HQ react as expected.

Capn Darwin,

I seem to be having problems with the Editor. When I select Load Scenario File, "HL_AS 3rd Herd", I get these errors, Could not find supporting data for "American (1979-1989). The xls file containing it may be missing or modified without authorization. The forces page for this side is disabled. It happens the same thing for the Soviet file.

The scenario loads but the Set Key Parameters, Player 1 and Player 2 is grayed out. Has anybody else have this problem or is it just me?

John, You get that message if the data files are missing or they were updated and the scenario was not properly refreshed to reflect those changes. Can you tell us which version you are using. Also, do you get that message for any other scenarios?

When you say playing hotseat what exactly do you mean? If you are playing hotseat then you would have to issue orders to both sides. If you don't give orders to the Soviets, they won't move.

Never mine Charles, it was on my end, it was a corrupt file when I download it. re download the file again and now everything is working fine. That's what happens when your on a 12 hour shift on a BWFX

I give order for all the units to move to the other side of the hill.

note: FPG_A3_A Few Good Choppers_NS @ 0_pc.sav is added.

Hey Harry, I have confirmed what you are seeing. It was reported by another poster regarding a different scenario a few days ago. I got the new update from Rob last night and it seemed to fix the problem. I am not entirely sure what happened to cause this behavior. Rob had made a change in the way units select their path and I believed that is what caused this bug. Thanks for reporting and hopefully the next build coming out shortly will correct this.

[CapnDarwin]

...and by shortly, that will be in a couple hours once I get some lunch and get things uploaded to the website! [8D]

I'll post when 11.4 is live.
