Those of us who already have had it crop up have been betatesting v7.0b6. I haven't had it show up since going to that version. If you want to join the beta team, email Paul V. Otherwise just wait until v7 is released, it should be fixed by then.
thanks, John.

What happened to me, was that I scored a draw and when I went to continue to the next battle, it came up like a normal campaign referring to me as playing the yugoslavian army. If you tried to continue past this, it ran scenarios in fast forward, going from one scenario to the next with no player input until you aborted out. I just noticed a message from Paul stating they were up to v7.11 trying to kill bugs, so this hopefully will never happen again.
thanks, John.

Thank you John..weird things sometime happens..

last time I loaded the saved game..and I noticed that some units of mine were not shown..also the pointer became a cross when moving upon my units..I was able to select them and move even the cursor pointed at my units treated them as they were targets..
Then I moved one tank but at the end of its moving its graphic disappeared from the map
I was still able to select it , just remembering it was there...
That's was enough..
I killed the SPWAW process and restarted the game...the second time all was ok and I played normally..

---------
Is This a bug ?
I play my turn and usually I move all my units and make them firing all shots..before pressing the END of Turn button I save the game and exit
When I load again I find that units still have their shots at zero..but they have plenty of movement points...
it seems to me this way I gain an extra movement bonus turn against the AI..is this a bug ?
Consider I can move , but at least I have to press EOT to make useful things ..have you seen about this ?

Thank you

ruxius,
Go here and there is a thread on this.
Desert Fox: Game Bug: Your mileage may vary
Read thru to the last, Paul Vebber says that the update to the M/C fixes this problem.

Ruxius, your last bug (involving movement points) is what has been titled the Unlimited MegaCampaign Movement Bug. It will be cured in the next SPWAW update, it wasn't surfacing in the beta testing of various versions of 7.x.

TO Bchapman and Gmenfan :
Boys , I am very impressed by your knowledge !
Thank you ! that's exactly what I found !

due to the continuous flowing of new topics in this forum maybe a FAQ-page should be provided with a collection of these info...
some of you boys may offer himself to help Matrix about this...will you ?
