Preliminary Bug Thread

[BSPiotr]

Guess might as well start this one, for all the things that should make it into 1.1 =)

Note that the expanded graphics is incredible and I'm definitely not here to catalog all the bugs, just the ones I run across. Hopefully other people start helping once they play their first round I'm definitely not complaining so far; definitely worth the wait.

Visual Bugs:
x At extremely high resolutions (1920x1200) the "loading settings / cvars / etc." words are cut-off in the initial load. 1680x1050 does not appear to have this issue, nor does 1920x1080
x Same issue upon loading the scenario, same as above.
x At high resolutions, the screen flashes a bunch at random, usually right after clicking something. It does less so at 1680 x 1050 than 1900x1200, and is worst at "loading scenario"

Game Bugs:
x (By design?) America can become fascist / socialist really fast by changing national ideals over and over...

Other:

Settings launcher
im assuming that the resolution settings in there but when i try and launch it it says launch from the AOD folder. I tried doing so but same message. Idk not a big deal. Seems great guys im really really impressed.

Is not replicated by myself, no issues here.

x Upon selection of tech and starting of tech w/ tech team, list of teams resets to the top (not game-breaking)

---
To show you guys that I'm not all negative here, I'll also include some (personal) Plusses that I really enjoy, even if they're small
Awesome fixes from HOI2D/ARMA:
x Music volume much more controllable than before.
x Native "sliders can be changed" icon
x Native "Open tech slot" icon
x Amazing detail into the tool tips on the top bar, nice to see where everything goes.
x Amazing statistics, and its amusing to see estonia on the efficiency pie charts at the beginning. Makes me want to to an Estonia AAR.

I confirm the "Inactive tech team can still lose/gain skill points" bug

 

[Talar]

A minor thing:
In the 41 scenario Sweden is missing the Improved Machine Tools tech, but they have the two techs after it in the tech tree.

Minor Bug: The Flag of Malta isn't displayed correctly, dispropotiont and a wandering X

Minor Bug: The Flag of Malta isn't displayed correctly, dispropotiont and a wandering X

Think I've found the problem:

In Armageddon, there were about 30 new revolters added (U70-99, IIRC) who had flags and shields. But now, when I check the gfx/map/flags, there are only a few available, so it seems that they've forgotten to include them.

 

[Black Lotus]

I have to say that I'm happy to see that most of the bugs being stated are minor ones or related to cosmetic issues, rather than large game breaking ones.

 

[Aidan]

No kidding. If flags are the biggest issue we've got a winner here for sure.

This isn't a bug, merely a suggestion. When installing the game and you choose to add an icon to the desktop, couln't it be the one for the settings program (Arsenal of Democracy Launcher)? So the same way as it is for HoI3 and EU3.

 

[deadmeat1471]

Quite a major bug, At war with USSR in '39 as germany, neither of us can cross the border - it acts as if we are at peace but we are clearly at war.

I have the save game if you guys need it, pm me.

 

[Amallric]

Check if you still have the non agression pact and break it if needed. However the event must be corrected.

 

[deadmeat1471]

Your right, i just minimised to say - i still have NA with them.

 

[Amallric]

It's the same thing in HoI2, you must break the pact in order to attack.

 

[unmerged(45180)]

At least in the 36 scenario Finland has four level 10 airfields. It must have taken ages to build them with their puny IC of 13...

They should be level 2, maybe level 3-4 at most.

So as a checkpoint 8 or so hours into the release, the big issues are:

* quite a few CTDs on some set ups
* flickering loading screens with the higher resolutions on some set ups

Doesn't sound like a disaster that a patch won't fix. How's the gameplay and the experience - you guys enjoying it?

One thing, probably not considering to be a bug () was the very screamish color sliders in production tab, so I re-did them a bit and if you'd like them, download 'em below:

How it looks now:

Download and place in gfx/interface (press yes when it asks if you want to replace current):

The loader flickering is a Europa-engine bug thats ben with paradox since EU1/2. However it is solvable, and i will look into it.
I will also look into the crashes in the battle scenarios.

Very nice - may i add it to the next patch?

 

[Saulot333]

Good work with the colors. Flickering loading screens for me too at 1440x900.

 

[unmerged(12990)]

Me and Talar were playing MP and we couldn't reload MP save games as they didn't even show up in the menu after restarting (they are visible in SP though).

Try using the scrollbar instead of the mouse scroll - i seem to recall something like the last one sometimes not becoming visible when the scroll button was very sensitive.

Not anything i have recieved a beta report for..?

It would be an honor if you did!
