Lt Bull Posted November 21, 2013 Share Posted November 21, 2013 Hello Was good that I have been able to resume my PBEM of this scenario now that the patch has fixed the reload on the Sdkfz 251/21. However I have noticed that there is something odd about the way vehicles now cross the Dommel River bridge. They kind of top, stutter, disappear then reappear/warp in a slightly different position as they enter and exit the bridge. Not sure who made the map but maybe it (the terrain around the bridge mainly) may need updating. Bull 0 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Lt Bull Posted November 25, 2013 Author Share Posted November 25, 2013 OK, I just saw enough oddity to post again, this time with video. A Panther tries to cross the bridge, it jerks and stutters as described above, but this time also sinks/dives in to the bridge as per screen shot. Video of it here. (using a new host, let me know if this link works) Seems the vehicle pathfinding across this bridge is worse since the patch on this map, but I though the patch was meant to improve the pathfinding for vehicles crossing bridges. This is why I think maybe the map needs to be edited/fixed. 0 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
akd Posted November 25, 2013 Share Posted November 25, 2013 Did it get stuck, or was it just a hiccup in the movement animation? The patch did indeed address a specifc issue that had caused some bridges to become totally unusable. That issue may or may not have any relation to the less than optimal pathfinding seen on bridges on this map. 0 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Childress Posted November 25, 2013 Share Posted November 25, 2013 Do you have the ATI left-click compatibility option on? 0 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Thomm Posted November 25, 2013 Share Posted November 25, 2013 Lt. Bull, can you please upload the save game somewhere? Charles usually demands save games when he has to correct bugs. Best regards, Thomm 0 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Lt Bull Posted November 25, 2013 Author Share Posted November 25, 2013 It seems to be just a hiccup, but all vehicles trying to cross that bridge have done the same kind of thing. From a gameplay point of view, it at least takes them much longer to cross than before the patch (this PBEM was upgraded to 2.11). I have an Nvida card so no ATI left click-compatibility. can you please upload the save game somewhere? Yes I can. I can send it and the password privately via PM. Who should I send it to?

I sent you a PM with my email address! Please send the file there and I will try to process it as soon as possible!

Childress Posted November 25, 2013 Share Posted November 25, 2013 I have an Nvida card so no ATI left click-compatibility. Check anyway. It's in the Options screen. 0 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Battlefront.com Posted November 25, 2013 Share Posted November 25, 2013 Was good that I have been able to resume my PBEM of this scenario now that the patch has fixed the reload on the Sdkfz 251/21. Ah, that explains it. Part of the bug is baked into save/PBEM games. So yeah, what you're seeing isn't surprising at all. Unfortunately there's nothing that can be done about it. If this was a fresh, post v2.11 game... then that would be something of concern. Steve 0 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Vark Posted November 25, 2013 Share Posted November 25, 2013 Bug, or have the Allies been given magical capabilities? I'm thinking a rock to mud spell and some sort of temporal distortion. 0 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Steve Steve are you saying that this anamoly is caused by something in the save turn process of an upgraded PBEM game , and would not occur in a brand new PBEM game played after upgrading to 2.11? 0 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Battlefront.com Posted November 25, 2013 Share Posted November 25, 2013 Yup. USUALLY terrain and pathing related bugs can be fixed "on the fly", but sometimes CM writes things into a save/PBEM that cause problems. When that happens all we can do is fix the cause of the problem going forward. Which means freshly started games (battles, campaigns, QBs) won't have a problem, but ones started in the previous version/s will still have problems.

Lt Bull Posted December 20, 2013 Author Share Posted December 20, 2013 Seems a similar kind of bug has occurred again in that same PBEM. This time it happened at the "Bailey's bridge" and has prevented my halftrack from crossing the other side to seize the final objective. Video here. I know this PBEM can't be fixed but still interesting to see how bugged it was. 0 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Jeeps can cross that bridge but apparently very little else can cross it. 0 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Heinrich505 Posted December 22, 2013 Share Posted December 22, 2013 There were some obscure reports in the Defense Ministry that Albert Speer was working on concrete-diving armor as part of the upgrade with the U-Boat schnorkel program coupled with the submergible tanks crossing the Bug River at the beginning of Operation Barbarossa.
