L.Tankersley Posted May 16, 2000 Share Posted May 16, 2000 Well, I get home from my honeymoon and I see the Gold Demo has been released! I guess the honeymoon isn't over, after all! I've noticed one minor problem, though -- I'm doing a PBEM game of ... one of the scenarios, and while I was issuing orders for turn 2, I was unable to issue any orders to ... one particular unit. I could select it fine, but no matter what order I issued I got the "invalid order" beep. Same thing when I hit the space bar to bring up the order menu. Other units of the same type could get orders just fine. I reloaded the PBEM file and the problem seemed to clear up. Not a show-stopper by any means, but thought I'd report it just in case. ------------------ Leland J. Tankersley Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Guest Madmatt Posted May 16, 2000 Share Posted May 16, 2000 Hmm, Colin was also seeing this seeing this with one of his tanks and the odd thing was that he sent me the file and I was able to issue orders to it just fine. Weird, but I do think that this issue was passed on to Charles to have a look at. Madmatt ------------------ If it's in Combat Mission, it's on Combat Mission HQ!

Guest tom w Posted May 17, 2000 Share Posted May 17, 2000 this same thing happened to me three times in the Beta Demo (CE). I'm not sure if it is a bug or not but everyone should be told to reload the file and try again if they want to continue the PBEM game with no interuption the first time I had the problem I just said "oh well" (beta software) and let it go without a fuss and the next turn that was sent back to me the tank was unscathed (it was in no danger of being fired on any way) and I could issue orders again. the other two times I just reloaded the file and it worked fine? I must note that every time it happened to me I was playing on a Mac and my opponent was on a PC /Wintel box hope that helps.. -tom w ------------------ <BLOCKQUOTE>quote:</font><HR>"Remember that no bastard ever won a war by dying for his country.

I'm on a Mac and my opponent is on a PC. And interestingly, the same problem occurred again on turn 4, and the same unit was affected. Once again, reloading the pbem file fixed the problem. ------------------ Leland J. Tankersley Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

My namesake hasn't done much for me at present, but I'm only 6 minutes into the game. At least he hasn't died yet. ;p ------------------ Leland J.
