TF Movement Freeze Bug (repost)
Posted: Thu Sep 29, 2005 1:42 am
In case the person(s) responsible for fixing bugs look only in this subforum for bug reports, I'm reposting what I've already posted in the general forum:
August 1942 campaign, Japs vs. AI, historical first turn, 1.60. After the historical first turn is finished, make a surface combat TF in Rabaul with all your CA, CL, and DD except those four with endurance 3000. Destination Lunga, retirement allowed, do not refuel, mission speed. After the first turn, it will move to Shortlands (it docks there but undocking it doesn't seem to make any difference). On the second turn, it will stay there and do absolutely nothing. At first I thought it might have made it to Lunga, found nothing there and returned, but its fuel (and Shortlands fuel) stays at the same level. Its destination still says Lunga too.
Ironically, if instead the TF is ordered to Tulagi from the very beginning instead of Lunga, it goes there (but not via Shortlands), has combat, and retires as expected. I really hope I did not find a game-breaking bug.
