HI, I have just started the Barbarossa scenario, upto impulse 3, German impulse. Phase indicator is "ground support attack". There are no units showing as selectable.The end phase button is inactive. Ctrl Shft doesn't work. I cannot save the game. I can move around the map. Any suggestions?

Roll up the map and see if there are any forms that are open behind it. Perhaps there is a form you can't see that is waiting for a response?

Hi Paul, thanks for your suggestion. I have rolled up the map and there are no forms. There are only two windows visible - the map and the "command window". I have tried using the arrow buttons to select the next selectable unit, but that doesn't work either.

You may have to force quit and then find the most recent save or autosave in that Scenario's folder. There are so many, you hopefully shouldn't have to reconstruct too much.

If the steps are repeatable and the same thing happens, then a list of those steps plus the last save retrievable should be set aside so they can be sent for bug fixing.

Yes.

If this is repeatable, then I will be able to fix it, given a saved game and a set of instructions.

The same exact thing happened to me. I force quit, restarted fine and don't believe I lost much. Of course, my first time playing WiF, but not a show stopper by any means.

Hi Greymond

I just went to Barbarossa to check this out and it seems to be working correctly. And the game save is working correctly I am not saying you are not having trouble, could you put a picture on this post for us.

Also you are in impulse 3 could you have used all of your ground support in impulse 1 ?

Ground Support doesn't require Air Activities.

This very issue happened to me all along the few impulses we have played, we may have palyed like 5 impulses in all, and we've had to load like 15 or 20 times...

Hi Jose

I am confused and this might not be my baliwick but are you referring to my picture above are you saying your screen does not look like that.

To my knowledge I have the exact same game as you do and I am haveing no trouble, if this is real deep than Matrix will have to help you.

So this is a NetPlay bug.

Did this happen before or after you updated with 1.0.1?

Jose are your questions about net play or solo play?

Bo

I have the same issue. I have v1.05 and it happens in both the solo and head to head play. I have used all the air missions. It stops after the I click ok to close the combat results window. I have forced close multiple times, started a new game and it stops in the same place every time.

You can try this, go down to the task bar and while there click on the MWIF icon on your task bar. See if the window pops up for you.

No nothing happens. Now I started playing the fast barbarossa saved game and it works fine. But when I start from the beginning and setup myself is when it stops.

I need more information to understand the problem you encountered.

There are several combat results forms in the game and I do not know to which one you are referring. Which scenario? Which turn? Which impulse? Which side is the phasing side? Which phase? Are you in a subphase? What units were involved in the combat and what were the results of the combat?

Most of these can probably be answered by simply posting a screenshot.

Barbarossa, 1st turn, 1st impulse, Ground Strike impulse, 1st combat, Germans. As soon as I close the results screen it stops. It should move to the next combat, but that is where it stops. I attached a file screenshot (I think).

Here is my Barbarosa problem! It's a solitaire game. Can't advance to next phase!

Thats the same screen I get after clicking ok on the ground strike form.

Does this bug also appears if you did restore an earlier saved game and go through this again? Or is it a one time thing (I've stumbled upon these type of bugs sometimes but was able to proceed normally if I just got back to a previous saved game and continue from there). This might be the work around...
