Amadeus Posted August 18, 2011 Share Posted August 18, 2011 Don't know if you guys know this already. Following issue, I like to cycle my units via n Key. Periodic in nearly every turn there is atleast one unit that do catch the activation and suddenly stay calm. No activation possible this turn. This is not repeatable for a single unit but often.

wlape3 Posted August 25, 2011 Share Posted August 25, 2011 I have never used the cycle feature but have run into the same issue under different circumstances. Usually, this happens to me when the map starts to get cluttered and the engine will think I have already moved or attacked with a unit when I have not. I've always attributed this to "a slip of the mouse" where the mouse cursor is thought to have moved off the tile of the activated unit when it has only drifted close to another tile.

Hubert Cater Posted August 25, 2011 Share Posted August 25, 2011 I haven't seen this but I can take a look... as you can imagine it is a bit tricky to track down if it is not a repeatable error etc. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Amadeus Posted August 25, 2011 Author Share Posted August 25, 2011 Hey Hubert, take the turn I sent to you and try to cycle thru all units by "n". It should happened every turn sometimes every 2nd turn. So you have a good change to catch the issue. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Hubert Cater Posted August 25, 2011 Share Posted August 25, 2011 Can you tell me if it seems to happen to a specific unit type or any unit type, i.e. air units only or naval units only etc.? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Amadeus Posted August 25, 2011 Author Share Posted August 25, 2011 First I guess that only naval units are affected but some turns ago an army of mine also do not be activated by cycling. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Hubert Cater Posted August 26, 2011 Share Posted August 26, 2011 Just an update in that I've run a few experiments but I still can't seem to be able to repeat this. Can you tell me if you move some units, then use the N key, then move some more etc., or would just cycling through using the N key without doing anything with the units eventually produce this error?

Amadeus Posted September 1, 2011 Author Share Posted September 1, 2011 Hubert, from the beginning of a turn I like to cycle. I move some units and cycle on. Just to not forget any unit. (Maybe that was the intention of yours for this feature anyway) In nearly every turn at least one unit, mostly naval units but not always, gets the activation for a bit of a second. Then the activation disappear and this unit cannot be moved and cannot attack in this turn. Next turn it is another unit with this issue. It is a bit pity that no one else knows this?!??

Hyazinth von Strachwitz Posted September 1, 2011 Share Posted September 1, 2011 I made a similar experience, but not with the cycle feature. Occasionally this happens when I do a right mouse click on a unit, check how much a refresh or an upgrade costs.. and then I find out it is too expensive or I don`t have enough MPPs left... and when I leave the menu, the unit cannot do any more actions. Honestly when this happens I use to think that I apparently did click something by mistake.. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
