Recurring negative experience

[icyflames]

I'm playing Campaign and since like Beta 6 I've been having problems with experienced units (professional - veteran) randomly getting -221315315521 experience. This has mostly happened to my howitzer group but also happened to a commander once. I've searched and found someone else had this problem, but their unit was a hero. Mine are nowhere near. So I don't think this problem has been fixed yet. It's very frustrating to keep redoing missions because of this. D: Cheers!

Actually, the following save game will reproduce the bug for you.

1. Load the game, and you should see a group of artillery called 'group 6'

2. Assign them to the nearby sensor tower.

3. After their first shots, a load of them will lose their rank, and have negative experience.

Cheers!

I had the same problem. Once with my hero commander, and later with my artillery group. Sometimes it goes 0 experience, and sometimes it's -2billion ! Thank God i have a savegame early in the mission.. Perhaps there's a bug in this particular beta mission. I wonder if people are getting this problem..

Please put this in a bug ticket. Otherwise it will be forgotten.

We already have plenty of bug tickets on this subject. :[

i've searched the tickets in development tab for "negative experience" and found only two :
#861 and #1045
both refers to the commander (or so i thought)
last time i played with 2.3 beta 3 last week, one of my howitzer gots it
i've yet to test 2.3 beta 4
if it's still there i'll try to send the savegames..
thanks though

Well, it should be fixed now (in SVN, or in the next version).
