Problems with Patch

Sat Mar 24, 2012 7:52 pm

I hate to start this the day the final beta goes public, but we were down for a week ... anyway here 'tis.

Several players (and I) have noticed two recurring problems (these have all occurred in the beta version):

1) Promotions. generals sometimes don't get promoted. We've eliminated the usual causes. They're marked for promotion, they're eligible for promotion, they SHOULD get promoted ... but they don't. For one player in the tourney this happened three consecutive turns with Thomas. Ouch. I have also seen it in my personal games. I'm not including the cases where you promote a general, then change his stance which (for some odd reason) cancels the promotion.
2) Oddball Movement. This occurs most often when there are multiple units targeting another friendly unit. What happens is that the units don't go to the unit targeted, or even the region. Instead, they move as far away as possible (it seems). For example, in one tourney game, the units were supposed to move to a region adjacent to the Tennessee River, but instead moved to Little Rock. I checked the player's ORD which was as he had said. I re-ran the turn several times - it would repeat the error as long as one of the two stacks targeted the unit, but if neither stack did, the units would move into the region as they should have. This error occurs from time to time, but not always when units are targeted.

LL, if you want the turns for this, please advise. I have to PM them as they're tourney games.

Saves please....
Always ask yourself: "Am I part of the Solution?" If you aren't, then you are part of the Problem!

We went through all the issues and it seems the new final patch has resolved them all! Woot! :thumbsup:

Thanks to LL for his patience!
