Error in design and production units.

Post by silvioos »

Hi guys, I have a weird problem. In the first campaign I pick up a dual machine gun and heavy machine guns. When designing a unit get very long production line. Production lines at the small picture is very long!? The line looks like it is a combination of super-heavy armor and heavy weapons (you know the yellow line below the unit). And when I want to produce a unit, I do not have enough resources because it takes 1799999999... resources per unit. I would put a picture but I do not know how. Is this normal in the game or is it some kind of error. It is strange to me because in the Playstation game, this is not happening. Version of the game is 2.3.1a. I download the game four days ago.

Hi. Thanks for your advice for a picture. Here's a picture, so look. I do not know what happened. Because of these errors can not go further because I do not have strong enough units. [img]wz2100-20100625_104229-SUB_1_1S.png[/img].

Hi

I have the same problem so it isn't a freak error. It lets you play campaign like normal but there is a high chance that while designing units this massive cost increase appears, just like the images show. A game that is saved while such a unit is in your design list cannot be loaded again. It can be saved and loaded though if you delete that unit I tried to find a workaround ingame but wasn't succesful. It doesn't always happen but it's more then mere chance, the effect happens all the time after is happens once but even then loading the game again or generally doing something else might be able to break it. I did that 3 times or so and was able to design a unit after that, once even after a day with a savegame that i thought corrupted and tried to salvage 20 times the day before, but don't ask me how. Basically campain is unplayable, even while trying to trace the bug and playing around a bit i couldn't get past mission 3. The effect is not present in skirmish, which seems generally more stable in other aspects too.

I tried this with Warzone Warzone 2.3.1a (+normal res videos) on a Windows XP PC with an NVIDIA Geforce4 MX 440 grafic card (Driver: ForceWare Release 90 Version 93.71). I remember being able to play campaign with a 2.2 version with the same hardware setup (well another hardrive) and i don't remember encountering anything freaky there. I could even download the old version and try it there if it is needed, but i think this is just a consequence of some tinkering with the power setup in 2.3.

Greetings,

I really doubt that it's a hardware issue. If it were , then that would be really freaky.

It's most likely a software bug.

Guys, we need a way to duplicate this, or we can't fix it.
Savegames that have the issue would be OK, at least we can see what the values are, but we need a way to replicate what you guys are doing, since I have tried a few times, and I can't get it to do this.

Please be as detailed as possible when explaining how to do it.
Use trac to upload the savegame, and make a nice bug report. :)

Ok I made a ticket and included everything I could think of there. If you need something else please ask.

One problem is that I can upload files only after creating tickets but it looks like i can't change the ticket anymore to include the pictures, so its two times with the pictures included in a reply.

Too bad all the savegames are either corrupted, or missing files. :(
