I played the large Waterloo scenario as Wellington.
After losing Hougoumont for a short while I counterattacked and got it back.
The problem is that nothing happened after that.
I left the game running for hours and the game time is now 10:30 pm.
I control all the main objectives. Still no major attack from the French (they appear to be nailed to their positions.
Can't imagine they're afraid, unless they read their history books.

What's the problem?

That is extremely odd. We tested this scenario several times, and that never happened. Can you please provide a saved game showing the issue? They are located in your Documents\Sowwl\Saved Games\ folder. It may be too large to email, so could you zip it up, then post to dropbox or somewhere?

If the file size isn't too large (like under 5-10 megs or so) then you can email it to matt at norbsoftdev dot com and I'll take a look.

Thanks.

Ok. Just sent to you by Gobbler.
Thanks.

Thanks, got it. I'll take a look and get back to you.

Ok I took a look at the save, and I see the battle has indeed gone way past the end time, and very little action has occurred.

So at some point, the script completely stopped working. This would explain no action after Hougoumont, and it never ended, nor did the sun go down. I'm gonna have to get Norb to take a look at the save game to see what happened.

Question - I noticed the saved game name is "restart current level". That save is for loading the start of the scenario. Did you intentionally save over that file? It's hard to tell for sure, but it seems like there's something that went out of sync here with saving/loading the games etc., which could be the issue.

Yes I did save over that game name as far as I can tell.
I certainly didn't create a new save name.
Hope your developers come up with a fix soon.
