1.14 Code Patch serie

Fri Aug 07, 2009 4:04 pm

Here is a non comprehensive patch, fixing bugs found in the code these weeks.

UPDATE TO 1.14C see post #6 for more details.

You need to have installed the full 1.14 to patch before this one (it weights only a few Mbs).

http://ageoddl.telechargement.fr/temp/fix_AACW114c.zip

All bugs reported in the support line or in the forum have been checked theoretically. If you submitted a bug and it is still occurring with this quick patch, then please report it again.

Particularly:
Bug reported by Eel (Report #7409) is fixed.
Bug with AI Army creation fixed
Invalid files won't crash the game anymore when loading a game, they are ignored.

Some bugs report where not reproduced, particularly:
the PBEM Karl vs Kyle bug had no problem, both replay files generated ok.

An issue remaining to be fixed will be the Nato symbol of generically promoted leader. In the battle report, this won't be fixed anytime soon. If you get it elsewhere, please contact me.
The erratic behavior of the *No Capture* ability is not fixed. For the time being, consider that early cavalries can still, possibly, capture cities.

Thanks all for your patience. If you get any crash, please report.

That was true a decade ago. Now, with iPhone, net on a pen, netbooks, etc., it is not, for sure. I do not know if this is a good thing, though... :bonk:

In my case, if I want to keep all those devices on a "working state", I would not want to check the forum near my wife on a beach... :blink:

lol

Reading that I hope that you will do certain things in the water and not in the sand :neener:

Now seriously. Pocus, will you finally release a last NCP.exe, for us poor and lonely NCPers? Even a buggy one will do, whatever. Even though we do not deserve it as we do not detect any bug

Just kidding, or not

Thanks again for your continuous support for this great game.
I appreciate all of your efforts and helpful instructions.

Thanka for doing this. It is really appreciated.

Not sure of the exact state of the "NoCapture" rule at this time, but I'm running 1.14 w/ QF2 in a pbem and here is a shot from last turn. Stuart assaulted with a cav division and wiped out the garrison, but did not capture the stand alone depot.

I know there are a couple of more recent patches, but if I understood Pocus above there hasn't really been any change to this from the current version to the one I'm runnning. Can anyone confirm they have actually captured a stand alone depot with early cav?

Not I.

i captured fayetteville as rebs, u needed regional loyalty for it too work.

Big Ideas did some sterling work testing the no capture ability as seen here post 47 (page 2) onwards:-

Thanks for the link MrT, I read that thread at the time but didn't look back far enough to find it before my post here. BI did some good testing, but his was mostly w/ cities. My case was stand-alone but Gray also posted some info there on that.

Thanks again for the link. I really think Stuart with 6,000 troopers and 16 guns should be able to capture any stand-alone after the garrison is destroyed. And my MC in that region is 60%, but loyalty only 23%..

Let me make sure I have this right, I installed v1.14c followed by quickfix3, this is OK?

Currently using a clean 1.14c -- no quickfixes.

Looks like the "merge units" cursor is missing again.

After downloading the comprehensive 1.14c that Pocus recently posted, this problem is resolved!!

Big Muddy ... I am waiting for Gray's new QuickFix 4. I experienced severe CTDs with 3. Thanks!!
