Graphical Anomaly

Post by Veers »

James/Ralph. I have a save that appears to contain a small graphical anomaly. I would upload it, but my WinZip has used up its trial period (and apparently I can't use it anymore), so I cannot zip it up. I cannot simply rename it and upload it because of the file size limits. I'd like to send it to one of you, if you'd like.

At 117,75 there appear to be two German units. If you click on the stack, one disappears, though it is still visible in the upper right unit info panel.

Apparently it still cannot be shrunk to conform to the 200kb limit on this forum.

Wyatt, if you're using WinXP, you should have the native file compressor that should zip, or unzip, .zip format files. In any case, you can send the file to me iamjamiam AT yahoo DOT com.

The problem sound like one encountered by me and Nemo once. An invisible unit that can only be seen in the upper right corner. But that had to do with a stacking problem and split-up retreated units. The invisible unit was "number 10" in the stack.. The game crashed then. No crash in your game, Wyatt?

I didn't know 7-zip would zip stuff up into a Winzip format. I tried it once and it didn't....winzip could't read it. Maybe I did it wrong.

Yeah, I updated and now it doesn't work. I can still unzip, but not zip. [:@]

Only two units in the stack. Not sure if they are split up, but certainly they are not retreated and no crash.

There are several different formats to use.

Did I ever get this save to you, James?
I mention it as I have come up against the same problem. Differnet place in the same game.

Wyatt, you did. It's buried on page two of my inbox. Thanks for reminding me. Oh...and never, never, ever send me something two days before the 15th of April. It's sure to get lost in the tax prep "crush". Did I ever tell you about my left...?...oh nevermind...[;)]

Anyhow, go ahead and send the file for this glitch, too. Thanks again.
