BUG? Squadrons stucks, won't move at all

[[CPC] chenoir]

Hi everyone.

I just started this great game, and I'm on sector 3 or chapter 2, and I'm getting something I can only assume is a bug. My squadron won't move or even fire, and this from he very beginning of the battle. I can try to give them as many orders as I can, they won't do a thing. The only way I have to make them move is to recall them onboard the ship.

I've tried quitting and reloading the game, rebooting the computer, nada. So I took my fate in my own hands and won a battle without using the squadron. Lost 3 hulls out of 5 (great for upcoming battles). ANNNNNND. The next battle was exactly the same. And it's absolutely impossible to win in this game if you can't use your squadrons.

Has anyone suffered the same thing?

Hi,

Sorry to hear that.

Can you tell us which squadron it was?
Or better, could you join our Discord server[discord.gg] and send us your save files?

[[CPC] chenoir]

Hi,

Every single squadron, that's the problem. Be it fighters, drones, frigates or cruiser, they're stuck, and nothing work. I'll try to send the save file today.

I'll star a new run, see if this changes anything. Anyway, thanks for the reply and the game. What I have been able to play so far is awesome.

So, Tried a new run, same old bug. First battle, and my squadrons have decided to take a nap and enjoy the scenery...

Hello,

If you send us your save it should be quite easy for us to replicate and fix it, we are very sorry for the disagreement :/

We weren't able to replicate it with your save files. So we'll need a few more informations :
- Could you provide us with a screenshot?
- Is the music still playing?
- What can you do/can't do exactly? can you switch units in docks? select a destination for the deploy? can you hover the units to see their informations?
- What language are you playing the game on?

Ok nevermind. It came back to normal on its own... Weird

If it comes back again, or someone gets this bug too, I can tell you this :

- Yes music was still playing
- I could switch units in docks, hover the unit to see their informations, select a destination for deployment, and order them to board back the ship. But I could give them any order, like where to go or who to attack. They remained still and only attacked squadrons that were attacking them first.
- I'm playing in english.

Thanks for those answers, we'll continue digging !

Still some question as we try to narrow it down ^^" (thanks for your patience)

- could you still select the unit and chose a destination or ennemy with the path being drawn on the battlefield? then you gave the order and nothing happened?
- how/when did it came back to normal? during the fight? after restarting?
- where your units on asteroids?
- what is you pc configuration/os?

[[CPC] chenoir]

No Problem

- I could select the unit, but could not chose a destination at all. As I said, I could only call them back to the battleship
- I didn't play for a few hours, and when I came back to the game, it worked again
- It didn't matter where my units where
- I run on windows 10 64 bits, Intel Core i7-6700K 4GHz, GTX 1070, 16 Go RAM

Same issue here - Squads get stuck right on deployment. They generally ignore all orders except retreat. I can give them orders, they just act like they are stunned but there is no apparent status effect. They will fire back if fired upon and will return to the ship if I right click on them in the side menu.

It's sporadic, but common. Every once in awhyile they will obey orders. They didn't do this at the start, it only started happening later - maybe when I got the third squad slot? Not sure exactly what the trigger was.

Thanks for your informations, it still eludes us. Haven't observed some recurring pattern (type of unit, ennemy, situation)?

[negak]

It's definitely repeatable, but I haven't found the logic yet. In my current battle in sector 2 I have three hangers, and going into the battle two are loaded with frigates. If I launch the frigates and unpause they will consistently work properly.

If, however, I deploy them and then promptly recall them (right click), then deploy them again, they consistently present the bug and will not move.

Does it happen even if you restart the game and hit continue on the same fight? if so It would help us to try your save file to see if we can replicate the issue

Same problem:
I have 2 Hanger, with 2 Squadrons... and the same problems.
Before this battle i get a gift, a squadron of a "Cruiser MK II - Prototype (Vanguard)". May be this is the problem? This is my first batlle since i get the gift.
Savegame can i sent!
