Bug? Can't see corps to take casualties

Post by ndrose »

I've never seen this before, and it's happened twice today; so maybe it's just something that's gone strange with my graphics. Perhaps restarting will solve it. But I'll attach a file to see whether anyone else can duplicate it.

This is a land combat phase. The first combat is a siege, but the besieging corps counter doesn't show up on the siege screen, making it impossible to take casualties--and so the game is stuck at that point.

Update: Restarting didn't help, and it was happening on every combat, both sieges and field combats. By not besieging, I managed to get through a phase without getting stuck, but it continued into the next month.

Finally (after exiting and reloading the game several times) I happened to have the first combat be one in which I had more than a page worth of corps. Suddenly, I could see them again--but I started out on the second page, and had to page back to see the rest. So I have the impression that in the earlier combats I was somehow on page 2 of a one-page unit list, if that makes any sense.

Anyway, at this point I could see my own forces, but not those of the enemy--just empty boxes where they should be. (Screenshot attached.) But at least I could take casualties now. Then, in the next combat in which I was the defender, the enemy units started showing up again.

I hadn't seen this bug in a while, but it seems to be back. This is a French land combat phase. Vienna is under siege--play through that, and then the British cavalry corps will attack the French cav. corps at Lille; but the French corps can't be seen on the combat screen, so if there are casualties, you're stuck. Not sure what's going on, but in the previous month there was a big battle at Vienna in which the French army outflanked--display problems might be related to that.

Nathan:
 
I have found the root cause (Your info about the earlier large battle helped me find the problem). The display for the defender was stuck on page 2 of units. Problem is that there is no unit on page 2! Hopefully, I'll add this in the next patch but this will generate a little more testing on my part.
