Replay Problems

[Michael T]

I have posted this in the main forum with no responce, so trying here.

I have played 2 turns of the 1943 campaign game as a PBEM. I am Allied. Neither replay has gone to the end of the day. On the first day I got about half way thru the night bombing and the replay ended with 'End of Tape' message yet my night bombing raids had only just started. In the replay of the second day the replay just stopped around the same point in time and crashed the game. Is this a new problem or an accepted bug/limitation? Its pretty annoying to spend hours plotting all these raids and then not being able to watch the results. And also lose critical info like where the German fighters are taking off from.

3rd day replay also has crashed half way through the daylight raids.

Is there going to be a fix for this?

I've encountered the same problem.
Sometimes the replay function crashed without recognizable reason.

Also I found out that there is a limit of 2400 screen-messages that could be displayed in the replay turn screen.
So, if there was a day with much action (ie. many raids) and many screen messages, the limit of
2400 is quickly reached and the replay tape stops.

Harley, could you increase the screen-message buffer? Or will there be problems if you doing that?

I have also noticed that some Allied aircraft are represented with Axis icons and vis versa. This is pretty fundamental stuff and should not have got past a single playtest[:-]

krak,

The wrong graphics icons in playback ( spotted in PBEM ) was mentioned to the moderators a few months ago but has not yet been corrected although a solution was offered that did not work.
Perhaps harley could advise if any further solution is now being investigated or considered. It seems that more players are noticing the bug which provides a very frustrating playing experience when seeing German planes when the graphics should be Allied and vice versa.

I've had numerous CTDs in BTR (only) and did post a save game file up in tech support.

At least I am not alone in these frustrations...thanks for your replies chaps
 
Overall I really like the game and am pleased with it. But for the Allied player in a PBEM the replay needs to be working right. I hope these replay problems get fixed. [&o]
