BUGS:

1)INFANTRY:
1.1) Prussian Pioneers not being able to produce powder kegs.

1.2)
a) Enemy and friendly units/formations turn green and revolt.
b) The parting of the red sea bug.
Quote:
Explanation of bug 1.2b:
After the 1.1 patch has been installed there have been several instances where my units, that have been straddling a road to block any access, have opened and parted like the red sea and let through the enemy('s) formation(s).

On reaching my home base this unit cannot be attacked or destroyed. Its sits there and does nothing.
1.3) AI formations walking just infront of you and not firing, just standing still.

1.4) Sometimes it's impossible to capture a town because the militia seems to switch back and forth between friendly and enemy..(related towards bug 1.2.a probably?

1.5) Before Patch 1.1, when destroying an enemy unit, the enemy soldiers would flee back to their base. Now, with Patch 1.1, more and more enemy soldiers flee through my lines.

1.6) Is it me or do I hear the officer shout 'Fire' and 'Halt' and other orders in the Campaign, but never hear orders in Skirmish? Maybe I'm not paying enough attention, but I'm getting the distinct impression that they don't shout anything in Skirmish..???

1.7) Possible bug?
Explanation: Shouldn't the +2 defence bonus for cavalry be in "Line" formation instead of 'Column' formation? The tool tip says that line gets an additional bonus for cavalry while the devence bonus is granted when on column formation.

1.8) After the patch, the video with the officers dissapeared, even with the videos activated in the options)(neverthelless I found it after 1 hour of playing very irritating).

1.9) Not sure wether bug or alteration: The enemy formation doesn't fire at your units when they are firing at them in non-formation groups. Of course, it's saves the ability for them to fire upon any formations of yours wich are nearby, but the a.i. should at least make a decision and do return fire to those non-formations soldiers that fire at them when there isn't any formation nearby.

**1.10) When I played skirmish, then sometimes my sappers do a strange thing. When I order them to walk to a spot, 2 or 3 just speeds over there, I mean really fast! and the rest of the group slowly walks! This has happened with most of my troops.

**1.11) If I have some infantry, and I form a line, some would just sprint to the new location, and the rest slowly walks!

**1.12) When more than three units of grenadiers assault one building the game closes to windows!
Quote:
Explanation of bug 1.12: The grenadier problem is England V Egypt on the first map on the skirmish map list - I cant remember offhand what it is called - is it crossing the rubicorn? Cant remember Im afraid. On entering their large town I attacked with four grenadier units against one of their towers. This caused the game to close and exit to windows as soon as they leant back to throw their grenades.
(Has anyone else noticed this, except Talon???)

**1.13) I was pressing back row fire, waiting a bit, then pressing middle row fire. After the two rows fired I pressed the buttons again so the back and middle row would fire as soon as they were reloaded. After they reloaded and fired the back and middle row fire buttons were still enabled. After a bit though they were disabled! They should stay enabled OR disable after they fire, not both.

**1.14) After I had one of my units fully reinforced, the little black corp men, instead of going back into the build and turning into militia, they stood around doing nothing.

**1.15) When I was playing a big game with lots of men, it was starting to get gappy (1GB of RAM still didnt cut it). As it was gappy, I tried to line up my men to face the enemy by holding down the right mouse button and pointing the arrow. The yellow dots faced in a totally random direction after I let go and was facing away from the enemy at an angle. I kept trying to line them up how I wanted them too and they kept facing a different way. I never noticed this when the game was running smoothly though.

**1.16) When I was standing ground by a village men would just wonder off and go fight enemies instead of standong ground. I still had the stand ground bonus though.(Some additional info would be appreciated (Nation, Unit Type, ...))

**1.17) England Vs Prussia. Sent my grenadiers into their base (full morale, full fatigue) one of their units (grenadiers, no standard bearer, no officer etc) attacked me, i lost 3 men from one unit, which then broke and fled, and the other unit whenever i clicked to allow them to fire didnt fire but deselected and stood their allowing themselves to be cut to threads.

2) CAVALRY:????

**2.1) In XIX century infantry was the trunk of each army supported by artillery and cavalry. In MP C2 cavalry wins battles that seems to quite "ahistorical". I suggest to increase the role of artillery by decreasing power of cavalry.
It can be obtained in many ways, for example:
- increase the production time or cost of light cavalry
- increase cost of stables
- implement upkeep cost for horsemen

**2.2) When I tried to attack artillery with my cavalry they just formed up around it without attacking the crew as if it was friendly! Meanwhile the crew was loading and shooting my troops!

3) ARTILLERY:
3.1) AI artillery walking into enemy formations without firing.

3.2) There's something wrong with building artillery.
Quote:
Explanation of bug 3.2.a:
Usually I build the maximum amount of artillery my depots allow me, but with Austria and Britain, after 4 light cannons and 2 heavy cannons (and 2 rocket thingies for Britain), I suddenly lose the ability to build mortars.. When I check the readout on the build icons by passing over them with my mouse, it says that I have 3/2 mortars (an impossible figure), even though I haven't built any! This is not a problem caused by lack of resources by the way..

Explanation of 3.2.b:
Sometimes, you can't build howitzers cause you limit is already reached but I didn't build any howitzers yet. One time, I had 2 heavy cannons, and my 2 artillery depots said I had 2 heavy cannons AND 2 howitzers. Because i wanted a howitzer, I construct a 3th artillery depot and what it says after it has been build: that I have 3 howitzers?!?

Explanation of 3.2.c:
After my artillery piece unlimbered, it disappeared. So when I went back to the depot to build another one, it said I already had one. I had to build another depot so I could have at least one artillery piece.
3.3) There ar several errors with the british rockets:
Quote:
Explanation of bug 3.3:
3.3.a) When I build any other artillery, Im not able to build the rockets.
3.3.b) If I choose to build the rockets first, then the pop limit of the rockets keeps going up so I can't build the second, for example: Rocket Limit reached 8312/1.
3.3.c) British rockets do not seem to have a sound.. At least when I focus on the enemy troops and watch the rockets head towards their target, the shrieking sound one would expect is absent..
3.3.d) Not forgetting that the rockets are also SILENT - at least assign some sound effects!!!!
3.3.e) The rocket launcher stops working after a while and the crew go through the motions but no more rockets are fired, even if you target the ground they will still not fire.
3.4) There are several instances in wich it is nearly impossible to attache/detache a limber to any kind of artillery (seems it's related towards lack of space) Ive tested this in the editor where there's enough space and there where no problems, the canons/howitzers/rockets attached time and time again.

3.5) There's something weird going on when taking over enemy artillery. I played the 'Battle of the Pyramids' today and after storming the enemy heavy cannon and manning it with my own troops, it seems as though they also stole the enemy uniforms and wore those..
This bug pops up with every nation and can be very confusing if engaged in a battle with a lot of artillery..

3.6) When canons/howitzers/rockets do get attached, they'res occasionaly space between the limber and the artillery piece and/or it's not in one straight line behind eachother.

**3.6.a) Noticed that the men glide along with the howitzers when limbered. Or at least the British, French, Prussian and Russian men do not walk but glide along when the limbered howitzers move!

3.7) When canons/howitzers/rockets do get attached, they'res occasionaly space between the limber and the artillery piece and/or it's not in one straight line behind eachother. They should limber up regardless of where they are. Easiest fix might be to have them pop out limbered up out of the art deport.

3.8) Sometimes when firing a cannon the crew go through the animated sequence and the cannon fires but there is no cannon ball and yet the opposing enemy troops suffer the casualties associated with this invisible floating cannon ball hitting them....!!!!

**3.9) It's too weak and therefore seldom seen in MP. Since there are so many cavalry units in MP battlefields cannons became useless (Egypt - the exception).

**3.10) When I pressed fill cannon crew only 3 men went. When I pressed again a nothing happened.

4) BATTLE FOR EUROPE:
4.1) Annihilation of one's army and losing territory in BFE without a fight. This is a game-breaker bug!!!!
Quote:
Explanation of bug 4.1:
While playing Battle for Europe, I've invaded a territory and all of my units as well as all of the enemy units gets destroyed. It says I've defeated the enemy and then it says I was defeated! It really p***** me off because I had a lot of veteren units. It happens when the battle is about to begin, the Fog of War is still over the territory and then all of a sudden, you get those messages.
**4.2) Why do armies reappear in Italy when they're cut off and trapped? This has happened on more than one occasion. They can't retreat to one of their own sectors, they lose, and then they reappear in Italy. The rebirth in Italy has happened twice. I was playing the role of Prussia, on both occasions. The first time the AI was playing Russia. The second the AI was playing Eygpt. They were both cut off, no place to retreat, and no were near there prospective countries. After fighting for several minutes, they decide to retreat. I guess they retreated all the way to Italy!!

**4.3) I alt-f4 the game while fighting and when I restarted BFE It was at the withdraw or attack screen so I said attack so I could play where I left off. My guys never appeared on the map and it said I lost and that all my troops had died. Afterward there were 3 sectors that used to be owned by other nations that were now under no one's control and it said they had 35 squads each. The other nations took them over easily even though there were supposedly 35 squads in each.

5) TUTORIAL:
5.1) In the Lieutenant Tutorial it's impossible to build the blockhouse at the crossroads near your base, even though it lights up as a possible location to build.

6) BUILDINGS:
6.1) Destroying buildings can have some strange results...
Quote:
Explanation of bug 6.1:
Using my Saps or Grenadiers has the desired effect of slowly bringing the building down, in terms of damage. But when it is very nearly destroyed OR even destroyed and just rubble I have moved to another part of the screen and within a couple of seconds then changed my view back to that building to find that it is totally rebuilt as new...!!! This has happened on a number of occasions and there were no peasants around to account for the rebuild, but they could not have done it that fast anyway.
6.2) Buildings are disappearing and re-appearing. Wellknown by now I imagine. Observed after 1.1 patch in skirmish and mp.

6.3) Seen a couple of times that some captured iron mines cannot be upgraded. Selecting mine shows it belongs to me. Don't get upgrade icon though. Observed early game so they are not fully upgraded. Just happened to a few iron mines.

6.4) On the maps you see fences. Would make sense if these are impassable. Now you can even and often put a building right across a fence.

**6.5) If I build tower, fort, etc ... there cannons are firing at animals, thats very frustrating cause they're shooting also on friendly buildings!
I would understand if any enemy soldier/formation is is near, but if it's a cow or an other animal it's just irritating, now I cant build those cause they're destroying my buildings.

7) GRAPHICS:
7.1) Graphic glitch after the 1.1 patch on coal and gold mines. Its the transport on the coal mine that "flickers". ATI Radeon 9800xt, latest Catalyst drivers 504.

7.2) I have amd xp 3200+, 1 gb of ram and ati 9800xt. Loadtimes are very quick. Since the 1.1 patch my game freeze for around 10-15 seconds. Happens always a few minutes into a skirmish or mp game.
Then after that everything is fine again.

7.3) There is a serious prob with loading a saved 1v1.Could you further explain this!!!

8) EDITOR:
8.1) Editor is not fully operational, wich should be, very and I mean VERY IMPORTANT!!!!!

8.2) Tough the editor for unit creation shows the name of the units wich your cursor is over, it doesn't show you a small picture of it.

8.3) In the editor, you are unable to move the Prussian and Russian generals!

**8.4) When using the editor sometimes I can't select Mouse Moving Mode, so i can move units and what not around. It tends to happen after I place a building in the editor.

9) SOUND/VOICES:
9.1) Comments on running out of ammo, when Infact you have plenty and are fireing.

10) CAMPAIGN:
10.1) Not sure if this is a bug, but in the 3rd mission of the Campaign, which is set in England, near Manchester, you are fighting against French troops, instead of other British troops, such as in the first two missions.

10.2) The major problem I came across is when I play campaign, the second level (ignoring tutorials, the level where you need to capture the villages back) I start shooting the towers across the river with my cannons and (twice now) it randomly crashes with some error about too many handles?

**11) MULTIPLAYER:
** 11.1) I think there are some serious issues with network stability.
Quote:
Explanation of bug 11.1:
Both LAN and Internet. Playing 2 and 3 player games on a LAN i've experienced lag, dropouts, sync problems, CTDs, and freezes - regardless of which computer is hosting. This is on a fast network (100mbit) with computers which get no problems in single player (all have AMD 2400+ XP, good video cards, 1gb ram). I have experienced similar problems when playing on the net but mainly they were problems on my opponents computers. The problems seem far worse on LAN than on the net.
**11.2) Playing multiplayer, the militia in almost all the villages never formed up into formations.

OTHERS:
1) Is there an Add-on foreseen in the near future.
2) If this is the case, would GSC be interested in a wishlist with our ideas for this add-on.

If you read this list and find that a certain Bug/Feature/Other is not in the list, make a post and mention this with a small but clear explanation, I will update this tread as manny times as possible and will send it towards GSC at the end of this month!

When certain bugs get fixed when the patch is released, I'll remove those from this list then!
