Random ship behaviour?

[Puddifoot]

Hi, hope this is the right place to post and it hasn't been mentioned before...

Just started playing HoI2 after many happy months on the previous version, and am confused to find my ships behaving VERY erratically.
The convoy that I set up to travel from Portsmouth to Malta, decided mid way to split up and dump some of the troops in west Africa. When I odered them to go and fetch them, they all began to head back to the UK!! Also when assigning a CV to use its planes to bomb a port, it would head straight for Scapa Flow as soon as the order was issued and stay there. The other two carriers in another two groups happily complied however. Am I missing somthing or is this a bug??

Will it be sorted by downloading a patch of some kind.

I am playing HoI2 straight out of the box, no mods or patches on a P4-3.2gig machine with plenty of ram etc...

Thanks.

Well the first thing you should always do after installing a game is apply the latest patch.

Sorry, foolish - I am not new to gaming but am new to forums and updates etc.. thanks.

No Problems, That is what a forum is for, to ask questions and learn.

I have experienced the same problem with land, sea and air units.

However, only for allied countries that I assume military control of.

From time to time some of the troops will change their move orders from what I had given them.

Ships will stop in the middle of the ocean.

Some allied countries are more likely to do this than others.

Anyone else experience this and have a solution for it?

Thanks in advance...

And is this with games started under 1.3A?

1.3

If this has been addressed by 1.3A, many thanks...

I brought this up prior to 1.2 so at least it did not make it into that version or 1.3

Will restart a game and get back with you.

If it is not then please submit a new report stating the problem still exists in a game started under 1.3A.
