Matrix Games Forums

Hi,

Just to mention that the glitch with the UK shipyards came back. In one game the UK shipyards when to more than double the normal 65. I believe it was normally fixed one or two patches ago. I am playing with the latest official version.

For now I count their use every time before I build to make sure I do not cheat[;)]

Was there an old thread linked to this please?

I tried to find it. Not easy with Matrix search engine. Even tried through Google as it is sometimes better even for the forum.

What are you building?

What are you building?

Only LC and/or MM when the bug appeared. Can not say exactly when it appeared however.

I used to build also escorts but not for a while anymore. The bug most probably appeared after that.

Nothing has changed so you have to elaborate

Well at one point UK still has 65 shipyards existing, but the available (stockpile) shipyards are over a 100. Was something like 113 that could be used with some MM still been built in the queue, so probably 150+ total existing. My opponent in one of his other games also saw it happens. I can't say for now when exactly it happened in the game. I will keep an eye open for it tough in future games.

This is from our latest game the Germans have only ever built U-boats (no Landing Ships no MM) and haven't built any u-boats for about 3 years.
Somehow they have more Shipyards in their stockpile than they have shipyards.

More testing. This is what I get went I don't just create a point and click game lol

This is perplexing because I am looking at my games with Hadros and there is no shipyard issue.

I wonder if your opponent is on the older version?!? The code is acting correctly.

A PBEM game created with the latest official patch. In this game, Yugoslavia, Greece, Netherlands, Belgium have been captured.
Norway has not.

And, I don't know how and when I have reproduced the same bug it seems.

Shipyards: 65
Stockpile: 80

I have bought mainly escorts and MMs so far nothing more.

Okay I think I have understood the problem. I will take few screenshots to illustrate.

ncc1701e you are a master bug-hunter!

Thank you! [:)]

All right, here are the reproduction steps for this bug. I am playing Europe 1939 in hotseat mode.

UK have two ships in the deployment queue on the first turn:
. Illustrious CV Grp
. King George V BB Grp

As you can see in this screenshot, a BB group needs 24 shipyards.

And a CV group needs 25 shipyards.

So, doing a quick calculation, UK has a total of 65 shipyards.

And 65 - 24 - 25 = 16 shipyards available. Stockpile of 16 shipyards is correct.

I am ending the turn and, as Germany, I am attacking Netherlands.
