Problems with Ground combat! Can anyone help me? |
Not sure if this is a bug or what I'm doing wrong, but I can't seem to get my "troops" crewed. I have everything required to create troops (cockpit, weapons, engines) but I discovered that my troops will not move because they do not have crews. I have started a new game, and I have also researched additional levels in both crew quarters, and troops, but I can not create any troops that actually contain crews. As the only requirement to create troops appears to be that they have a cockpit I'm sure that this is a bug, but I wanted to check to see if anyone else has seen this problem, and if they might have a solution.
Just for the record even though I waited until they came out with a their second patch and I still expected a few bugs, the crashes, and hangups I experienced are not acceptable. I now see why the are giving other games when you purchase this one, but it wouldn't it have just been better to have waited to get this one fixed.

any advice for me ? cant land troops without crashing game
I have a problem with the demo 1.08 which I reported as a bug
here, I cant even land troops because an exception is generated on exit from the battle in which they land.
I tried the VehicleSizes.txt (Engines Per Move = 1) mod but now I can't load the save games so I need to start a new game to test it and I dont have time right now.
Demo can't be modded
Hi obliwobly - if you are using the demo, you can't change most of the data files and that is why your saved-game won't load. Not sure what is causing your error.
The solution I posted was for the v1.13 troops don't move bug.

OK thanks Kwok I will go do
OK thanks Kwok I will go do something else for a bit.
Maybe I will specialise in SE5 demo testing

Troop Movement fix
Can I make the assumption that the game developers are making the 0 to 1 afore mentioned fix in the next patch? Otherwise I now have to figure out how to do this.
Yeah
One of the patch notes mentioned it was fixed.
And its not that hard to do it yourself

Those that understand binary, and those that don't.
Troop Movement Fix
It's actually a problem with the troop vehicles themselves. There is a field called "Engines Per Move" in VehicleSizes.txt - you'll need to change the value from 0 to 1 for all the troop entries. In earlier versions, the EPM value was not being enforced for units.
