Bakker@home Posted April 18, 2000 Share Posted April 18, 2000 No kidding ! I was playing a Reisberg PBEM game as the yanks and a platoon HQ (D-0) runs into a building (after the first collapsed on them ) .... and vanishes ! At the precise moment they should enter the deamonic building. I had them selected watching the turn movie and they disappear, are de-selected and are out of my 'unit cycle'. Funny thing is i can still see the 'command lines' to it's units trace into the building. Weird. It was turn 13 though ..... Has anyone else experienced this? Is this an old beta bug ? Grtz S Bakker. PS: I swear i heard it burp afterwards ..... I will never thrust a german building again.

Guest Ol' Blood & Guts Posted April 18, 2000 Share Posted April 18, 2000 Did you see any tentacles coming out of the building? Maybe that building is inhabited by a Sarlacc? (The Dune Sea pit monster in Return of the Jedi) My guess is that it is a bug. Maybe the HQ unit was killed by a German unit within the building that you weren't aware that was there and the game "forgot" to take away the command & control lines. But you know, seems like that happened to me once while playing Reisburg too. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Black Sabot Posted April 18, 2000 Share Posted April 18, 2000 They probably fell into the wine cellar and are too drunk to find the door (whoaa, talk about bringing back memories). Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Bakker@home Posted April 18, 2000 Author Share Posted April 18, 2000 Well i don't know ......... you could be right though. I had them charge in there because when their former building collapsed on them they presented themselfs nice targets out in the open .... So the building was not recointered by me, nor were they causiosly moving, just running in there head first. Maybe there could be some guys in there but then the team should be killed the moment they stepped through the front door, all 3 of them ! Maybe some kraut got angry because they didn't wipe their feet ... It just seemed so hilarious ... Grtz S Bakker. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Ron Posted April 18, 2000 Share Posted April 18, 2000 There is a known rubble bug, since fixed, that causes this. Solution: avoid rubble in the beta Ron Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Bakker@home Posted April 18, 2000 Author Share Posted April 18, 2000 It seems that OBG could be right. (Sorry Ron ). But what a drama! Picture it; Lt. Steel sees his 'front squad' pinned in a building on the edge of Reisberg and gets in there to tell them to 'Get Moving!'. The next minute the krauts start to lob mortars on the building and bring it down crashing ! Now Lt Steel finds himself lying in a pile of rubble with one man of his platoon HQ wounded and the 'front squad' virtually wiped out and totally panicked. Besides that the krauts are happily spraying that rubble with bullets.... He decides to move out of their fire by running to the adjacent building, and when he opens that front door ...... SURPRISE ! And we never hear from him again ..... (insert tune from the twilight zone here ...) Grtz S Bakker. PS: Dschugaschwilli what kind of brutes are in there ? Bastards !

Guest Captain Foobar Posted April 19, 2000 Share Posted April 19, 2000 Actually guys, that waws the new ***SUPER ADVANCED Fog of War*** The confusion was SO THICK, that you ACTUALLY thought you had that squad!!! Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Dschugaschwili Posted April 19, 2000 Share Posted April 19, 2000 I'll have a look at the movie as soon as I get home. It will take another day before I can give an answer to that question though. And I don't promise that I will give one for FOW reasons. Dschugaschwili Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Trooper Posted April 20, 2000 Share Posted April 20, 2000 Any chance of a Cthulu unit appearing? Some sort of Easter Egg perhaps...? Which reminds me. Some American visitor to a gaming convention in Ireland had a cuddly Cthulu, who was very popular indeed. Manufactured in the US apparently, anyone know where I can get one?

Dschugaschwili Posted April 20, 2000 Share Posted April 20, 2000 Well, I obviously didn't see the command lines, but the unit disappeared upon entering the building. So the staying command lines seem like a bug to me, I think the rest has a rational explanation. Dschugaschwili Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Guest Schuggerbaby Posted April 23, 2000 Share Posted April 23, 2000 I have read some posts a time ago were the same problem was mentioned: Units located in rubble suffer losses without any enemy action. I've experianced the same problem in SP and my PBEM game, but not a whole squat, though. Also i've heard that this prob only arrises in the current demo version and will be fixed in next game versions. Schuggerbaby Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
