Satellite group teleported to (-100,-100) |
I updated from 1.25 to 1.33 via STEAM yesterday. Patched BM by copying settings.txt. Played about 4 turns and went to bed.
Loaded the game this morning and noticed one of my satellite groups that was defending a WP teleported outside of the system grid to (-100,-100).
I have no idea if Ill ever be able to pick that group up, or how to destroy it. Ill be paying maintenance for a useless group.... forever?

Units, satellite's included, do cost maintenance. One of those lovely new features since SE4.

Indeed, random teleportation of anything to unreachable areas of the map is a less than pleasant little bug. Was this an existing 1.25 savegame that you were continuing after patching to 1.33, or was it a brand new game you started after patching?
If it's an old game, it could be just a case of random craziness created by the patch, & you'd probably be best off starting a new game. If it was a new game, I'd send a copy of the save game to se5(at)malfador.com so Aaron can have a look at it, because that's definate craziness.

Oh. Steam. Man. I'm sorry. Ouch and all. Best option there is to run it in offline mode until you finish a game, then reconnect and patch, if you want to avoid strange happenings in your savegames whenever a new patch comes out.

I haven't checked this but I thought sat's didn't cost maint. like other units. am I wrong?
SEV, more than a feeling.
