rocketman Posted May 9, 2021 Share Posted May 9, 2021 @BFCElvis glad to see the fix for the bridge bug of getting stuck. Will it be applicable to the other games? Curious to know if is a universal fix as I have done/doing quite a lot of bridge testing trying to figure out what causes it. Can you spill the beans on what the fix was? 0 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

All that I know is that what was fixed was something specific in the PBEM turn that Redwolf sent. So, it's hard for me to say if it fixed "a" bridge bug or "the" bridge bug. I don't know how it would affect the other games. If it does it will definitely be in a future patch. 0 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Curious to know if is a universal fix as I have done/doing quite a lot of bridge testing trying to figure out what causes it. Can you spill the beans on what the fix was? I just got a Help Desk ticket from someone saying that a bridge bug was making the game unplayable for him. He sent along a saved game file from the Last King if Berlin scenario with the Tiger in the middle of the bridge. I suspect that he was saying that the Tiger wouldn't cross the bridge. I gave it a movement order and it finished crossing without a problem. I'm waiting to hear but from him but I'd bet that he didn't have the v2.11 patch installed yet. If that's the case than the fix was more encompassing than the specific Redwolf situation. I hope that expands on my first reply. 0 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Kevin2k Posted May 9, 2021 Share Posted May 9, 2021 If you want a Tiger tank stuck on a bridge in CMRT v2.11, I will be so kind to help you out https://www.mediafire.com/file/fk3krmu3j8wbwiv/Tukums-tiger-stuck.bts/file First mission of Tukums campaign. Tiger is not bogged or immobilized. It still turns to face enemies. But it does not move. It forgets any move order when deselected/selected. It happened to me three times on that map, with that Tiger. This third time was a test I just did. Provoked it a little by pausing him in the middle. When actually playing this mission yesterday all other crossings were fine and it did not really bother me. 0 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Erwin Posted May 9, 2021 Share Posted May 9, 2021 Note that v2.11 patch seems to have all the data for F&R, so if one purchases later, all one may need is the activation code. 0 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I have had a similar thing, but not on a bridge, but where a tank refuses to follow any movement orders. Just sitting next to a road, nothing damaged, never fired upon. That was in 2.10. I have a save for it. 0 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Correct. There will be a time when I remove the download link for a FR purchase, as I did with Rome to Victory, because if you're patched up all you need to do is activate the module to "unlock" the content. 0 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Redwolf Posted May 9, 2021 Share Posted May 9, 2021 It is easy to reproduce a minor case of warping: - drive a tank forward to the middle of the bridge - let it go the rest of the bridge in reverse so that it pivots 180 degrees on the bridge During the pivot it will warp once or twice. It isn't a functional problem, though, doesn't get stuck or looped. Works in CMFR 2.11 and CMCW at least. 0 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Redwolf Posted May 10, 2021 Share Posted May 10, 2021 This savegame, when continued in v2.11, shows a variety of bridge bugs: 1) Almost always the tank on top of the bridge will go into the warping-stuck loop 2) as you move the tank on top of the bridge back and forth and at the same time one of the other tanks back and forth under the bridge you will almost certainly see jumping of tanks off the bridge or onto the bridge 3) sometimes the lower tank will become stuck https://wavehh.dyndns.org/tmp/bridgebug2.bts 0 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Kevin2k Posted June 3, 2021 Share Posted June 3, 2021 I was just thinking that WinRAR people should have thought ahead, way back then, and instead of saying "The archive is either in unknown format or damaged" it should say "The RAR archive version is beyond what is supported, please update WinRAR". 0 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Yep, its not that hard to plan for that but it does take a little work upfront. I have not used WinRAR for a long long time. As soon as tools like 7-zip started supporting RAR I switched away. I never liked the RAR format much so I was happy to let that app go. 0 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I still like RAR actually. In my humble experience: 7z compresses a little better, especially with repetitive files. But when I need a single small file from a larger 7z archive, it takes an annoyingly long time to get it out. 0 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
