I invited per private Message some regular and well known forum users to take a look at the current Version of 1.05Beta2.

It would be great to give your feedback here.

Please report any major bugs we may have missed out. Some really obvious things that are a hazard to actual gameplay.

As soon as the majority of you guys give green light (e.g. the version is ok for testing on a greater scale), we will start an more extensive Open Beta Test for 1.05

Greetings and Thanks.

First of all thanks for the Invitation :D

now the first bug:

If you click on a foreign province, this message is visible

by clicking around different provinces, you can locate in a case of war enemy troops...
 
First impression...

WTF have you done with the speed!?!?!?

It runs way faster, smoother and without any interface lag which 1.04 did on my laptop earlier.

Of course, only 1 jan '37 as of now, so I say as mr Arnold, I'll be back... ;)

Not a bug - its AI debug output ;)
Will be removed as soon a we go live with the open beta
 
Error: bug AppName: aodgame.exe Appver: 1.0.0.1 madname: aodgame.exe Modver: 1.0.0.1 offset: 0013d6b9

Is this some new ting or is it a unwanted change? Germany should have those provinces as national provinces
-----------------------------------------
An other error I got in my first test game and my game crashed was this:
AppName: aodgame.exe Appver: 1.0.0.1 madname: aodgame.exe Modver: 1.0.0.1 offset:0001db9c

I must say it seems that it seems that game works better the lag dosent seem to slow the game. I hope to test the cop function soon.

From what I gather, in the 1944 scenario those aren't national provinces.

Ran the game for three years, no crashes yet. It is faster indeed.
 
Two runs this nights (and yes, I put the alarmclock on to start a new game in the middle of the night... That's hardcore ;)):

Both as Switzerland, handsoff and from 1936-1954 (Scenario ends: scenario info).

The absolutely best things: None (!) of the games CTD during 1936-1954 x 2.

The "bad" thing was, that this was the situation after both two games:

So I know, only two test games, but maybe something for other testers to have a close look at; does axis seem overpowered / allies & comintern underpowered...?
 
Thank you very much for choosing me as a beta tester. :)

The speed is really nice, even on my old 1,6Ghz/1GB Ram piece.

#1 CTD with no error message a few days after the start of 1941 scenario with Switzerland. Doesn't happen always.

#2 When I open the cheat window (F12), I couldn't close it with F12. Instead, I had to hit F12 and then a another key. Weird.

#3 In 1936 scenario, Italy is stopped by the Gigantic Ethiopian Army of Doom. The Ethiopians have 40 divisions (mostly Militia, though)! Their army is bigger then the British and almost as big as the German one. Is that historical and supposed to be so?
Plus, Italy stacks a lot of divisions in Obbia (Somalian non-front province). That was half of their African army (more that 12 divisions) and one reason why their needed ages to beat the Ethiopians.

Played up to 1945, no CTD, no serious bugs that I can see.

I had already this problem before this beta. Hit F12 and move the mouse already clean the console.

I'll test properly the game tonight.
Thanks by choosing us to be beta. :D
 
I've had this F12+key thingy since the Doomsday days. Moving the mouse indeed works aswell.

+1

Either way, another handsoff game until '54 as the Zwizz; Axis "won", SU was just a rump state, etc. No CTD until I tried to exit the victory scores page, then it CTD. But this has been a common problem since I bought HOI2 five years ago.

And gotta say, the usual slow down after '39 and especially after '41 are still there, but is way more gentlier and less laggish on my end which is a huge improvment me thinks.

A while in early '40's (especially after the US war entry), I though the allied airforce would cripple the German industry to death but they managed to ride out the storm.
 
Serious bug!
In my Swiss game, I couldn't control my production sliders, even with advanced sliders off and auto sliders off. They simply jumped back to a certain position each day.

I have noticed a similar problem - to change the sliders, I had to pause, change them, leave the production screen, unpause. Then it worked, but still this problem could be removed.

I can confirmy this. And it's old... I used to have it since the last patch.

Somebody can confirm the checksun? Mine is MEQ0.

Launcher:

Each time you change the value of the combo box 'Language', the options in the 'Select Resolution' are repeated.

Suggestion: Would be very nice if you change the the 'DropDownStyle' from that combo boxes to 'DropDownList'. This way you disable the edition of the values inside the combo box.

Now I'll test the game. :D
 
So far no serious issues, however I can confirm two problems from above:

1) Sliders still jump back to their last position at 00:00.

2) Locked sliders can get stuck somehow. At one point I had locked my consume goods slider and was only able to unlock it after I locked and unlocked my production slider first.

Will try a handsoff today.

I wonder if it just me, but my handsoff game as Costa Rica crashes in 1940, at the same time when Germany DoW's the Benelux countries. I'll try a reinstall (I'm not sure if I installed on a clean 1.02 or a clean 1.04 version) and see again.

Also, thanks for the invitation!
