PBBoeye, http://ageoddl.telechargement.fr/latest/
Latest 1.07 version uploaded, release candidate 5. It consits solely of bug fixes, and has not new data or map fixes. Monday I will post another version with new regions bitmaps (PBoeye) and the 61/62 portraits (Jabberwock).
Bugs fixed:
a) Army HQ Stack were never engaged in combat if alone.
b) forces crossing a river or landing always attack as soon as they cross (no delay)
c) cohesion loss upon loading/unloading from a riverine move was lower than expected.
d) blockaded harbors were still producing some supply.
e) unbieseged city with harbor blockaded now get a -50% production penalty.

"New special order: Relocate Unit. It can be used up to 3 time a turn to relocate instantly a leader or an army HQ into another controled region (this order is still experimental, an option will be proposed to disable it)"
I think the option to disable this is not yet available?
It seems a fair idea but a little far fetched that an officer could move from Richmond to Houston, take up a new command and fight for the full 15 days.
Could the malus that is added to a leader when taking up a divisional command also be applied for leaders using the strategic move?
Cheers, Chris

It corrects the starting weather at Fort Sumter (from mud to fair) and a railway problem in Amherst, VA.
No others bugs reported, but if you have some, particularly on the 2 new special orders, don't hesitate!
There is definitely a problem with scrolling now. I load the game up and the scrolling is fine but if I drag a division from one stack to another and then scroll the scrolling becomes very jerky wherever I go on the map.
If I then just pick up and drop another stack inside a region scrolling becomes smooth again. Does anyone else notice anything like this?
I have a very quick PC so that is not a problem and have not had this problem before 1.07.
A minor thing:-
If you use relocate and click on the stack you wish to relocate to, the leader does not relocate - instead a leader is split off from the stack you clicked on.
It works OK if you click on the region you wish to relocate to but not a stack.
Cheers, Chris

I noticed this when I tried to move a leader from Richmond to Ft Sumter. I wasn't sure if it was the stack it wouldn't move to, or if it was because Sumter was generally Federal territory. So I relocated it to Charleston and dragged the 'future-location' image of the leader to Ft Sumter. Took 5 days total.

Welcome back. Are you pre'ping for Napoleon or will you pass on this one?
Good idea about relocation and leader penalty. As for the little glitch (clicking on a stack), I will see what can be done.
About scrolling, that is very strange. Do others notice that too?
Hofstadter's Law: "It always takes longer than you expect, even when you take into account Hofstadter's law."
Gene has told me that he is not experiencing any problems with scrolling thus far. It only seems to happen sometimes when I drag a unit to another stack but not always.
The odd thing is that I only have to pick up and drop any other unit to get back to smooth scrolling.
I'll keep my eye on this and let you know how it goes in the next week.

are you drag&dropping with right mouse button? It does a scrolling. D&D is supposed to be used with left mouse button.
Also, have you noticed that the game images load faster at startup? This would mean the map is no more loaded at startup but only when you scroll, so the slowdown.

No I use the left button to drag and drop. The map is loaded at startup.
I can replicate the problem when I first go into the game or when I have been playing for some time. Maybe it has always been like this but I didn't notice before.
I will play around with it some more and maybe make a fresh install to test if there is a difference without a patch.

Weather Problems
I`m curious if the next patch will address the unrealistic weather issues in and around the Ohio River areas, and down to the Cumberland River, where you get almost continous snow/freezing weather from about late Oct through March. Many people, including myself, have brought up detailed examples of this issue in various posts, and how it especially effects the AI units who move around out of Cities during this, suffering severe losses for no purpose.
I assumed Stonewall ( and others ) were working toward a fix for this ?

I've got a "potential" issue about the tooltip text displaying the region details (1.07b_rc4 but was like this since 1.06c which was my first version).
Manassas can be seen as 50% rebel and 50% union while being clearly occupied by my forces. Is it a bug in the tooltip or it's purposedly built like this? If so, what does it mean?

I believe Mike1962 is tackling these problems too.
Before you ask and as I previously said, we are focusing our spare ACW time on some things like gameplay code, AI and such, leaving to willing modders the task to tweak the data. See that as an optimization of the time the team can put in ACW these days.

This is the loyalty level, which don't change easily. You are confusing it with military control.

Near official 1.07 version has been posted (it is called 1.07, without appending 'release candidate'). Very soon I will update this patch to all languages and announces it officially.
You will need to apply this file in addition to 1.07 (this is not mandatory but you won't get the new generals graphics):
http://ageoddl.telechargement.fr/latest/AACW_GraphicPack.zip
This file add 39 generals portraits, done by Jabberwock and 27 reworked regions graphics from PBoeye. Thanks to them.
The patch link:
http://ageoddl.telechargement.fr/latest/AACW_Patch.zip
This version add 3 variables for the modders. Check the readme for details.

I've now played a few more turns and haven't noticed this happening again.
If it happens again I will let you know. What does seem odd is that the problem can be fixed simply by picking up a unit and then dropping it again in the same region. This implies to me that there is a problem somewhere in the code.
Cheers, Chris
After a bit more testing I see now that if I pick up and drop a stack containing a large number of units scrolling becomes jerky afterwards.
If I pick up and drop a small stack scrolling is smooth.
In the next couple of days I will try a new install to see if I get this with version 1 of the game.

The two files in this zip should fix these issues. I am also emailing them to Pocus, so that he can post a new installer. Apologies all, I should know better than to send this stuff out at 2AM.
The mdl file replaces the one for Zollicoffer in /ACW/GameData/Models.
The png file replaces the one for Winder in /ACW/Graphics/Armies&Fleets.

Black Cat, Are you noticing this with release 1.07? These areas should be much better in 1.07
