Helper button bug ?

[Franciscus]

Hi
As posted in the main forum, I attach here a saved game where I think you can reproduce an elusive bug in the helper button interface: SOMETIMES, when loading a savedgame, the consequences are immediate after just clicking (for example the trucks helper button) a helper button.

I think you can reproduce it in the attached savedgame

Hi Franciscus,

Yep, I can reproduce it.

Can you remember if you saved the game with a helper already pressed once?

Cheers,

Hi lancer

I am almost certain I had never pressed a helper button before I got the bug

Hi

If it helps, I am continuing with this saved game, and after 3 more turns and some saves, yesterday the bug persisted: ie, I clicked on the trucks helper once and I got immediate consequence.

I think I found another helper button bug, or at least a "feature" that is highly undesirable. Playing as Soviets 1.02 version, on the 8 July turn I had a helper button appear (100% activation for the following turn), which I wanted to activate. I clicked on it and double clicked and wasn't sure whether or not I activated the help, so I kept clicking and double clicking. I found that by doing so repeatedly on the same turn it's possible to get the Soviet difficulty into negative numbers and the German difficulty to over 200. Correct me if I'm wrong, but I assume it's impossible to cancel help on the same turn that you have summoned it. So from now on every time I want to use a helper button and see if it really went into effect, i'll check to see if the difficulty level went down.

I can provide a save file if you'd like to have it.

Hi Jonathan,

A double click does the job. You receive a confirmation message as such.

Full activation happens on the FOLLOWING turn. Mentioned in the message.

Repeatedly clicking on the helper sounds like an omission on my part that needs rectifying.
