Hi,

Just tripped over something I find very strange... In one user generated scenario (Pont-a-Mousson Bridgehead) that has been updated to .279 the game will not allow me to place waypoints for any order. Move, attack etc. will not allow placing of waypoints. No error messages or anything like that happen -- and appears to play normally in every other respect.Weird.
I've tried lots of other scenarios before and after a full restart and they all work fine....just the above noted scenario seems to be affected.I deleted the scen file and reinstalled it and then opened and saved in .279 again. And again, that 1 scenario will not allow me to place waypoints, but plays normally otherwise.

What might cause that?? Some obscure setting in scen maker??

Maybe a corrupted file?

I remember a bug once that made that happen if you placed an arty barrage as your first order, before anything else. I think it was fixed though.

I couldn't recreate the problem playing the scenario as Axis in my 4.6.279 install (on a Win 7 machine).

Did get a CTD when I tried to exit to reopen as allies, so I recompiled the Pont-a-Mousson Bridgehead.cop map using MapMaker and overwrote the original file. It loaded more quickly the next time I opened it with the game software, and allowed me to use waypoints.

Thanks guys!

Took both of your advice. Guess what? I had been plotting arty missions first off in this particular scenario. Guess that bug is still alive and kicking..
As soon as I tried something else first I was able to place waypoints again.
Recompiling the map cache does speed everything up so thanks for that tip as well.

Rob.
