Iron Ranger Posted April 13, 2003 Share Posted April 13, 2003 This might not be a bug, or even cause any problems but I did notice this 'abnormalty'. When France falls and the allies have units in the two coastal city's they remain in allied hands, with the ports. OK. At the end of the german turn / start of the UK turn, on the axis screen, the values for the city is 5, but the ports read 10. According to Destoyer (allies) the UK screen is reading 5 (city) and 5 (port). Just a FYI, we didn't continue and I assume that they will both be 5 at the end of his turn but this might give the allies and aditional 10 MPPs for one turn. 0 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Iron Ranger Posted April 13, 2003 Author Share Posted April 13, 2003 Side note/observation. During battles in v1.07 there seams to be a pause as the computer does the caculuations between the 'exposions'. It only is a second or two but noticable. It could be just me but its happened during several IP games with dirrerent people. 0 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I tried this last night and from what I can tell thankfully all is well . It appears that once France fell the control of those resources most probably switched to UK and the strengths were still shown by the last value prior to French capitulation, i.e. ports still at 10 in your case. What happens next (internally) is Germany/Axis collect for the resources they control and then supply is recalculated for both sides (unit supply as well as resource strength/efficiency according to the game rules). So at the beginning of the Allied turn the resources are at their proper levels 5 and 5 and correct for when the Allies collect their income at the end of their turn. Hubert Edit: I tried this a second time under TCP/IP and I now see what you were referring to, it does show the port on the Axis side with an incorrect value but the correct values are shown on the Allied side. It still performs the correct calculations at the right time for both sides but I'll have to double check why it posts the incorrect value for the Axis (observation) turn. Edit: Ok figured it out, everything was fine I just forgot to have it update the screen with the new resource values, thanks!

Not sure about this one, I didn't make any changes to the TCP/IP that I can remember off hand and just ran a quick test where everything appears to be normal. Might have just been hiccup, but can't say for sure. Did this ever happen with previous versions of SC? Hubert 0 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
santabear Posted April 15, 2003 Share Posted April 15, 2003 I've noticed the same issue as Iron Ranger. Sometimes the screen pauses in "mid explosion" as one unit is attacking another. It hasn't happened until I installed the patch. 0 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Iron Ranger Posted April 16, 2003 Author Share Posted April 16, 2003 yes, not a problem with v1.06 just the new patch. 0 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Hubert Cater Posted April 16, 2003 Share Posted April 16, 2003 Could you guys describe this issue a bit more just to help me track it down. Does it happen deep into the game or randomly, is there a lot of action happening and let me know a bit about your systems as well. Edit: When did this happen was it during your turn or when you were observing your opponents turn Thanks!

Iron Ranger Posted April 17, 2003 Author Share Posted April 17, 2003 OK - I'll try to make some detailed notes next time. 0 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Hubert Cater Posted April 18, 2003 Share Posted April 18, 2003 I believe I have corrected the incorrect display of resource strenghts after the fall of France, if you get the chance to test it out with the updated Beta patch please let me know, thanks!

Minotaur Posted April 21, 2003 Share Posted April 21, 2003 I saw a few times the "slow explosion" in every game I played... Never happen with 1.06... I only play alone against the AI, so network slowdown is not a issue in my case... It seems to happen mainly when I have another program running with SC at the same time... For example, when I listen a music CD with Winamp... Random slowdown in the other program or SC... Spike in the processor % usage... I can't tell... --- Some of my tech info --- Old 1.07beta patch... Pentium III 450... Windows 98... DirectX 8.1 (4.08.01.0881)... [ April 21, 2003, 01:30 AM: Message edited by: Minotaur ] 0 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Hubert Cater Posted April 21, 2003 Share Posted April 21, 2003 Background programs will probably do that once in a while, it might also be the graphics overhaul. [Warning: Some technical jargon here ] The program uses automatic memory collection and the higher res graphics could be pushing the limits of the collector on lower end systems which may cause a slight slowdown here and there.

Iron Ranger Posted April 21, 2003 Author Share Posted April 21, 2003 I have not had this problem anymore, odd. The only thing that I did was defrag an run diskscan. Yes I normally have some music running in the back ground and maybe a web page or two. System 850 hz Afton (?) - equal to a Pen III 6gig HD High speed cable connection. 0 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Hubert Cater Posted April 21, 2003 Share Posted April 21, 2003 Very hard to tell what it might have been specifically without seeing it myself but my guess is that it could be any number of the above items which could have caused this. Either way looks like it's not a major problem but thanks for feedback guys! Hubert 0 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
