xian Posted July 20, 2011 Share Posted July 20, 2011 I've played through a couple of scenarios with the patch on the Mac version. There is a problem with the AI. Certain groups will just run at top speed to the far edge of the map - away fro the enemy. It appears that they don't follow the AI planning orders. At their trigger point they just leg it and pile up in the corner of the map. I will keep testing scenarios and let you know more when I do. Okay - it appears to happen when AI defending. If the Ai has a movement turn as defender it completes its move and then runs to the corner of the map. 0 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
ClarkWGriswold Posted July 20, 2011 Share Posted July 20, 2011 Can you give more details? What map? What force selection? Scenario or quick battle? There's not much to go on here for anyone else to try to replicate the problem. 0 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
xian Posted July 20, 2011 Author Share Posted July 20, 2011 Ok - try playing allied on 'A delaying action' WEGO set to 'scenario test' run through about 15 turns (don't bother moving, and fast forward) and watch the AXIS infantry run for the corner. Any defending unit that has a movement order tries to complete it and the continues on to the corner of the map. Any scenario where defender has movement will work. oh - and try: Roadblock +++ v1.1 at repository. That one is great - all the tanks and infantry try to get on top of each other as they squash into the corner. 0 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Freyland Posted July 20, 2011 Share Posted July 20, 2011 Certain groups will just run at top speed to the far edge of the map - away fro the enemy. No, that behavior seems consistent with troops under my command... 0 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

MikeyD Posted July 20, 2011 Share Posted July 20, 2011 Oh, I don't know, there's three seperate axis AI orders sets and all the Groups are full-up in each. I've lost track of who is doing what in that scenario. You might(?) be watching one group being AI-directed out of harm's way in anticipation of an expected Allied artillery barrage, only to reemerge around the time the infantry fighting heats up. Maybe. Or maybe there really is something odd happening. 0 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

xian Posted July 20, 2011 Author Share Posted July 20, 2011 No - it's a game breaking bug on the Mac. It is NOT an attempt to avoid artillery. With Roadblock +++ v1.1 (repository) all Axis units labelled [A3] and [A5] are given a movement order at the start. They respond by immediately heading for the corner of the map. Small image included. 0 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Guest Posted July 20, 2011 Share Posted July 20, 2011 I'm looking into this. 0 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Michael Emrys Posted July 21, 2011 Share Posted July 21, 2011 Oh dear. This does not sound good. Hope the problem turns out to be a small one and easy to fix. Michael 0 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Battlefront.com Posted July 21, 2011 Share Posted July 21, 2011 It's confirmed. The Mac version screws up some AI orders on some maps if certain conditions exist. The odd thing is this is old code. Pre v1.00 by a couple of weeks. For whatever reason it's just showing up now. We're working on a hot fix for Mac users. PCs are completely unaffected by this.

Nicdain Posted July 21, 2011 Share Posted July 21, 2011 I noticed this issue, too. Actually, at first, I thought it was a huge encircling move... 0 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
wrongbanana Posted July 22, 2011 Share Posted July 22, 2011 I hope they solve this problem quickly. I'm afraid to install the patch to experience all the new features because I'm afraid I wont be able to play against the AI which is all I play for now (don't hate!) 0 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Battlefront.com Posted July 22, 2011 Share Posted July 22, 2011 We should have a new patch up on Friday (today). We had to also solve some permission setting problems that screwed up installation on some systems. Again, this is a Mac only issue and not PC related.

Michael56 Posted July 22, 2011 Share Posted July 22, 2011 thanks for as usual great support - as a Mac user who just loaded Lion I am awaiting the patch for that too rather than going the fill out a service ticket route. This patch I assume will also ready the game for Lion and allow us to avoid individually fixing via earlier instructions to fill out ticket? 0 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
