Advance Fire Phase-computer hanging up on non-turreted afv trying to target outside of covered arc

Post by genesismwt »

I am playing the Germans. The AI has American M3 GMC's that in the advance phase try to target outside their covered arc. I get the error message that this can't be done, as if I am controlling, instead of the AI. I cannot produce a game save at that point as it is just looping and eventually erroring out.

I noticed a similar situation last night where the AI was shooting at a hex where there was both infantry and a vehicle. It asked me whether I wanted to shoot at the vehicle.

I have tried the beta executable, but have since switched back to update 1. Could this be the root of it? I feel like these are errors from the very beginning.
The game is afoot!

ok lets take a look,

How to get a DxDiag report file:

1. Click on "START" (on Windows 8 press “Windows key” and the “R” key at the same time)
2. Click "run" (skip this step on Windows 8 )
3. Type in "dxdiag" and click "OK"
4. Check through the tabs and perform all tests
5. Click "Save all Information..." and save the text file to a location of your choice

We prefer that DxDiag files be posted as message attachments (zip) rather than pasted into the body of the post.

add the exe of the game to your Anti Virus and firewall program, to make sure check the logs of these to see if it was one if any of them was to blame.

That usually means a 3rd party program, like an Internet security programs, is or could be interfering with the game or update installation.

run the game from a admin account and use full admin permissions.

please make sure all game pre requisite are installed with the game, even if you think or fully know there are already installed, it will only over write, and it may be that you have a older or newer version of these where as the game in question may need a certain version.

please make sure you are running the latest game version and have up to date drivers installed on your pc,

If you have the original version. So you'll need to update it from the Internet.
Please note that you'll only need the last update, as the updates are comprehensive. (not needed with steam)

This is a new problem and has nothing to do with the new executable. I'll write it down on my list to Peter.

You can safely use the Beta executable 1.0.28
