Okay, yes, I confirm that none of the Axis countries receive any oil from Germany after creating trade and the Allied AI convoys are is shut off. This is reloading a saved game from v2.
I may start a new game and see what happens.
Excellent game! I really like it.

Luckily I got a v21 saved game that I can test here that is giving the same error. So I am tracking this down tonight for a hotfix in the morning.
When I tested this it was only on v30 games.

Maybe going forward it would be a good idea to test your patches on games saved on the previous version. Because that's where most of your player base is, on the older version.

Ok I am fairly certain I found the issue. Now I have to correct it for the update Tuesday.

New games have the problem about the AI not setting up convoys.

Agreed, but this isn't easy unless you have automated tests in place. Regression issue with previous versions is something that is always a challenge. Know this first hand as a senior developer.

Alvaro,
As a developer of more than 20 years, it definitely takes automation to regression test to a reasonable level of confidants.
I want to praise you for your dedication in resolving issues!
You have an awesome game [&o]

Yes, it's an amazing game. Something I have been waiting for decades to play in a computer game. It's only going to improve and offer other theaters in the future.

I am only one person and I try and test as much as possible before deployment. But sometimes something slips through especially on a major patch.
Sometimes it takes me 10m to add code for a bug fix and 1 hour to make sure it is working as I go through all the variables.
Being as specific as possible really helps me. There have been a few posts on "teleporting brits" which I am not sure what they mean.

Hi Álvaro
As previously, I would like you to consider the idea of releasing each major patch as a public beta patch, for 1 or 2 weeks.
When I was a part of the AJE team, this was the best way to detect unexpected or overlooked issues, before making a patch official
With this awesome game I am sure you will get sufficient feedback from players eager to try a new beta patch
Cheers
