Where is my fleet?

Turn 5 of an 1813 game: My fleet on Lake Erie won a battle against the British (two rounds, no losses, don't know why I am supposed to have won) and then it disappeared for good. I checked all the events, nothing says they have gone anywhere, been sunk, have dissolved, foundered, nada. Oh well. I check all adjacent ports - many militia, no ships. Finally, I check the ledger, and there they are, supposed to be right in Lake Erie; I can even focus on them, get them listed in the unit window - only I can't see them. Can't see the British either btw. See screenshot attached. Where are they? :p leure:

Now I am completely perplexed

They are out in the Atlantic Ocean! How the hell did they get there? See below. This is a most astonishing deed by that chap Perry, wouldn't you say? :hat:

Anyday care to comment on this? What can I do to get them out of there?

sorry missed your first post.

This is the infamous 'wrong coordinate glitch for a region yet to be discovered' that is around since some months. Thanks much, we will correct that.

So, back to your fleet, she is still in Erie, as shown on the unit panel. Take it and drop it manually on the Erie region, and it should fix the problem. This is purely a wrong coordinate problem, not a gameplay bug.

here is the culprit

Coo0 = 7720|36|0
Coo1 = 2116|3968|0
Coo2 = 2272|3868|0
Coo3 = 2428|3828|0

this is the list of coordinates for Lake Erie. See the first Coo? x = 7720 y = 36... equals north atlantic!

Thanks a lot!

That solved it instantly. Funny, that wormhole to the Atlantic.

And don't you dare apologize for missing a post sir. The support you are providing here every day is incredible. :hat:
