When I do F11 and show ground combats, not all the rollovers show the final line the outcome in the rollovers.

I cannot figure out if there is any pattern to it, but I have saved the turn if anyone cares to take a look.

Thanks.

This is what I am seeing (or not as the case may be).

Not quite following you. Are you saying that the mouse hover overs are different then when you click on a battle location?

If so could you post a screenshot of both like so?



Edited scaled the image.

As you can see in that screen shot all the numbers line up with each other.

If you could post an image like so, then we can tell if its really a display bug or not.

Battle

Rollover

Sorry, you want one missing. Wait 60 seconds.

Here is another one where all is lined up correctly.

How is this?

Mark those last two screen shots matched up. So I don't see any issue.

Note you can display the battle location (F11) and then hover over the site and capture both in one screenshot.

The one above doesn't match up. It does not show the outcome in the rollover; just the numbers.

Okay in that one I can see that the Retreated line is missing from the roll over. My only guess is that its a display issue, when the combat result did not list a specific unit (for whatever reason), in the top combat display.

As you can see from my two posts and your one everything is good to go. But in your last one, the hover over is missing the retreating text and my guess is because the top box is just showing a generic retreated message.

At worst its a minor display issue, but ask Joel.

To me your posts #5 and #6 line up, but your post #9 is missing the results in the roll over.

I see what you mean by generic.

Of course, it's minor. But I thought we report everything including spelling, and then 2by3 decides what to do.

Am I being a nuisance?; sorry if I am.

No your not being a nuisance at all, I was just pointing out it's possible reason, most of the reports when a unit is effected (routed, shattered, surrendered or retreated all show up), so looking further at some combat results those that don't list a specific unit as being effected or when no results are displayed in the top box seem to not have any combat line in the roll/hover over.

I did say ask Joel, but also mention my line above (I think this is why the roll over is not showing, but I am not a programmer here, lol, just my guess based on playing this for the last two years).

FWIW:

One last thing, when I said minor I just meant that its not game breaking (like how we had the issue with no interceptors flying, etc.).

Yes, seems like a display glitch. Would need to look at more to see if it's always the case that if the result is generic that nothing is listed. There are other quirks with the main combat display where it will not report correctly what happened to a unit, although I don't remember the exact cases now. The combat display is one of the most difficult items for us to work on and fix so likely these quirks will remain.

Joel, I have a save you can use, it has a mix of shattered, surrendered, routed, retreated and 'no results' in the top display. I'd have to sit down with a text editor and list them out if needed.
