Several bugs

[unmerged(8345)]

This is just annoying the hell outta me, I wouldn't mind too much but I'm writing an really long AAR. lol I got 2 bugs, least I think I do

1) After I highlight a unit I go to move it to another province. The glove (mouse pointer) usually says the same color, but on certain parts on the province it turns silver with a big X in the glove on the province. When I click that part it locks right up. same with unloading armies.

2) When I move a army to another province and then tyr to move in back in transtition the game locks up.

Thanks fellas

Two = Several? Oh well.

1/ Hard to see what you mean here, so we can try to duplicate it. By "certain parts" do you mean the city, or a border, or something? Does this happen every single time? In any province or just some? Can you give us precise instructions on how to duplicate this? By "it locks right up" do you mean the game hangs? Or the OS or your PC as a whole?

2/ Same thing - what does "move in back in transtition" mean? You mean when it is en route from one province to its neighbour and you shift click to send it back into its original province after it arrives in the neightbour? I do this all the time without a problem. Again if we can get an exact sequence of steps to duplicate it ...

And if you can confirm you have 1.04 installed, and what PC and OS yuou have. Thanks.

The glove turning silver with an X usually indicates a province you can't move into (such as a foreign country you don't have either a war or rights of passage with, or an inland area for ships, or a sea area with none of your ships in it, for land forces). Are you sure you had the pointer on different parts of the same province and it changed from one to the other? (It should only have changed if you changed provinces you were pointing at.)

bah, sorry for being vague lol

1)

You mean when it is en route from one province to its neighbour and you shift click to send it back into its original province after it arrives in the neightbour?

no, while it's still moving to it. The game will lock up and freeze. I hear this loud like buzzing sound from my speakers

2) In my French game I went to war with Naples and tried to land there. When I highlighted the city and army the glove stayed the same, however when I highlighted another part of Naples (like the hills drawn near the city.) the game locks up and and I get the same buzzing sound. Same thing in an Ottoman game when attacking Ionia

Both things I got in EU1, however it didn't lock up at all.

Sorry again for being unclear Thanks for your help

OK, as no-one else is reporting this and it also happened to you in EU1, I'm saying this is not a bug but a support issue, most likely to do with sounds and/or video drivers and/or cards, or perhaps directx.

As such I'll send you over to the Support forum.

check ATI's website to be sure you have the latest drivers. Freezes are often caused by bad drivers.
