Helicopters dissapear

When one helicopter is travelling on any of the 3D maps, suddenly dissapears temporarily and appear again at the target hex. It only happens sometimes.

Has anyone else seen this bug?

Hello Jafele,

Thanks for reporting this. Which version of the game are you using? And would you happen to have a save file that reproduces this?

Cheers,

Hey Crossroads, I´m using the 1.20 beta patch.

I could reproduce the bug (after 10 attempts) and save a file, however when I exit/enter the game again and load the file everything is allright. It seems an evasive bug. [:D].

I have noticed once the bug starts it is active with all helicopters until you exit the game.

Very occasionally (but seldom), the 3D graphics will go wonky. Units will begin to move at the normal pace, the game hiccups, then the moving units suddenly flit to their destination hex. This is due to system multi-tasking, we believe.

Not saying that is the case here, in your situation, but it could be.

In any case, the bug is not reproducible, not every time anyway. Hence as you say, "evasive". Hard to diagnose, and fix.

Happens with armor and trucks too. But, with helos they go a farther distance and it becomes more "surprising"/apparent?
