Sublime Posted October 23, 2011 Share Posted October 23, 2011 Ok so I've encountered something similiar to this.. Ive had squads get 'split up' (not by my order) where a member seems to go missing or lags far behind. the Squads icon floats above nothing on the ground, not where the squad is. This however similiar, is different and much more annoying. Winkelreid has made a breakthrough in my pbem of carbide carbide, in my effort of damage control I loaded up a truck with troops to rush to the area. everything seems fine, until one part of a split squad (a part with a pzfaust, stg 44, mg42, and mp40 wich sucks bc i need that firepower) mounted the truck. Well they all did except apparently one member. The truck has been motionless for a couple of minutes. However the squads icon is greyed out as it is whenever units are panicking or mounting/dismounting. These troops have not been fired on yet, and are at least 2,000 meters from the fighting. The truck never even began moving yet. So I dismounted all of the infantry. Even had the driver bail out, as I need control of those men, etc etc. All having the driver bail out do was make that team subsititute one of their own for a driver - however the icon is still greyed out, and the missing member has gone into the twilight zone. plenty of saves availible for anyone 'cept my buddy winkelreid =) 0 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Erwin Posted October 23, 2011 Share Posted October 23, 2011 There may be an "occasional bug" re loading troops. I have a truck that was in the process of being boarded, but in the process one of the squad members was hit a few yards away. So, now the troop icon is greyed out so no orders can be issued. Also, while it appears that the rest of the squad is on board and the truck can be issued orders, it won't move. 0 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
GreenAsJade Posted October 23, 2011 Share Posted October 23, 2011 I've had this in Carbide Carbide: I suddenly discovered that one of my squads had ONE guy right _on the other side of the map_. He was slowly making his way back to the original squad. I think he's made it now... not sure if I have a save file for this, maybe.

Nidan1 Posted October 23, 2011 Share Posted October 23, 2011 What would cause strange bugs like this to only appear in certain scenarios? Something caused by the editor? 0 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Sublime Posted October 24, 2011 Author Share Posted October 24, 2011 Except that this squad is virgin as far as taking fire so far. its odd because I dont even think they ran outta room on the truck. tho perhaps since I was trying to load most of a depleted platoon that they ran out of room by squads ordered to go on while they were boarding. e.g. squad a is boarding while I order the HQ and B to board. some reason squad A believes truck is full now?

Tarquelne Posted October 25, 2011 Share Posted October 25, 2011 however the icon is still greyed out, and the missing member has gone into the twilight zone. I had that happen in a QB recently. It was a mortar squad, and the missing solder was (when I last checked on him) about 800m from his squad. (I found him by taking a heading on the icon from his squad.) At first I thought he was just headed to where the truck had been directed. No. Perhaps he wanted to check on something in the enemy setup zone. The game ended before we found out just where he was going. I thought this was a known bug. But if someone wants a save I think I can recover one via DB. If so... a single save, or, say the turn before the bug appeared and the turn after? 0 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Sublime Posted November 3, 2011 Author Share Posted November 3, 2011 Update - several turns later the squad finished 'mounting up' and I regained control. I think the game may have gotten confused by me ordering a few teams to board the truck, and it filled ot capacity before the whole squad boarded, screwing it up. i disembarked everyone and it straightened itself out. 0 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
c3k Posted November 3, 2011 Share Posted November 3, 2011 Sublime, How many minutes did that take? What did the errant guy do? (How far did he go, etc.) Ken 0 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Sublime Posted November 4, 2011 Author Share Posted November 4, 2011 Im not sure where he went. Ive encountered this before and seen the errant guy. I couldnt find him however.. I think he was around or something and when I let the truck completely empty (driver too) he eventually found his way back. Suddenly I had control, the squad was mounted up. Ill check for sure, but roughly 7-10 minutes. Again I think the issue is that I miscalculated how many spots were on the truck. I ordered a few half squads etc to mount up. Some got there first however and I think that the game let me order them in b/c there was room, but when they mounted (along with other troops at the same time) the truck filled, and the game didnt know what to do.. 0 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Brent Pollock (WBRP) Posted January 12, 2013 Share Posted January 12, 2013 I have had this occur in CMBN QBs and just now in a CMFI scenario that shipped with the game. Each time it is connected to having more than one unit try to mount up as part of the same orders phase. There has always been enough spots on the truck. 0 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
