Units stuck

[Oarkwood]

Hi,
i have a Group of 3 Vehicles stuck in Fighter.
The Group returned from a Mission and ran on an IED.
Called Medevac, Drone and IED Removal.
IED Mission was successful. IED Removal Vehicle returned to Base, but the 3 other Vehicles remain sitting and even dont react on ordering them back to base.

Now i have the next unit stuck and i am not able to order them back to base.

Also, when i want to start a new game it is stuck at the first screen in tutorial. (Notifications are enabled)

Any advice is welcome either on how get the stuck units back or starting a new game...

btw. the game hangs after about 45 min.
cant kill the task even in taskmanager, only option is to restart the pc

Hi Oarkwood there is currently a bug I believe which is with units returning to base after a mission. The only way I have currently found of making this bug not happen is by not setting any patrols or H&M or supplies mission on continuous. At the end of each day save and then on the day set up all patrols and h&m and supply missions for the day and repeat everyday. this stops the bug and I have sent my save file to the devs so hopefully should be fixed on the next hot-fix which I believe will be soon.

tnx for the tip. will try it.
now after 4 tries i was able to start a new game

same here mate I'm on my sixth attempted haven't even had 6 fobs yet haha

[Oarkwood]

right now i had the units stuck on the Ambush on a Town Mission. They even didnt leave the Base

[Oarkwood]

this is a real gamestopper and must be fixed asap
i was so frustrated i dropped a moab on my troops to see if this makes them start to move out

[Oarkwood]

btw. it didn't :-)

jesus mate sounds like you are having more problems than me one thing I would recommened is unistalling the game and reinstalling it. it maybe just be me but this seemed to clean up some of the bugs some how but I still get the one where units stop in the middle of no where or stuck at base .

I've mentioned to the devs as a tempory fix they could make it so if you have issues with any unit outside your fob or mob maybe it would be good if you could reset them to there home all at the same time or like a timer of 24 hours on a unit which hasn't moved but lets see what they do as this is a big problem and it needs fixing sooner rather than later to make it playable and enjoyable and not a waste of time making a convoy to do a job and then they get stuck its kinda rubbish waste of sp and a waste of units

even if we can kill our own units would be ok just to clean the map haha

in fact i was able to play the game now for nearly 2 h without crash or stuck units.
i loaded an earlier savegame and got to the same point with attack on town and the mission counter did not stop (as before)
i thougth the error would be reproduceable, but unfortunately it is not.

[Oarkwood]

this game is such a sweet challenge :-)

Status after a few hours played.
- The hangs tend to be less the more time you are on the same savegame
- Units are sometimes stuck without orders to return or continue thier original mission
- Only Way to keep them from beeing stuck is to load an old savegame
- Currently the last Mission in Armadillo does not spawn (Mission Tab shows: Wait for mission to spawn)

Thank you for sharing your experience.

We are giving issues related to what you describe close look.
Our intent is to release a patch targeting those problems as early the next year as possible.

Certain missions are dependent on sector situation and outcomes of other events and missions this is why it may seem they don't spawn. If this is an error related to any bug we would need a save game file to at least partially be able to reproduce the course of events in your particular case.

Merry Christmas.

Tnx for the reply.
I can provide you a savegame after the holidays.
btw. I set the Game Language back to English. If you want help translating in "useful" German, let me know. *nofront

Merry Christmas

What works for me the most is rtso. Remember To Save Often. At least every 10 min. so that you have a couple of savegames handy.
I discovered that mostly when units are stuck you have to save the game and reload it to make the Units useable again.
