Replacement Issue/Bug?

[elxaime]

Yes, 1.0.6.1, which is the latest version on Steam, seems to be the problem. I believe the same issue plagues EAW - in a previous PBEM we had to roll back to a prior patch to eliminate the issue.

In steam version latest patch CW2 it is easy to test how replacements fill hit points without intervention according to F2 screen after a few turns without moving any unit.

Yes, on CW2 the update on Steam to 1.0.6.1 seems to be the problem. Similar issue with latest Steam version of EAW. I had a PBEM with EAW and we had to restart by re-installing with an older version.

Okay, I've tested on 1.06.1 (from !MainLog.txt: 10:11:14 (Reporting) Game Engine version: CW2 1.06.1 (August 17th, 2016)), and I ran 5 turns. Not one missing regiment (32 are missing) has be replaced.

If anybody wishes to try this out themselves, here are the files you need to install the scenario: https://www.dropbox.com/s/c581gfae8zzcof2/ReplacementsTest2.7z?dl=0

Installing the scenario is completely safe and will affect nothing else in the game other than being able to play the scenario.

Copy the following files into their locations:
'CitiesReplacementsTest2.inc' --> '..\CW2\Includes'
'LocalStrings_CW2_ReplacementsTest2.csv' --> '..\CW2\Settings'
'ReplacementsTest2.scn' --> '..\CW2\Scripts'
'ReplacementsTest2.sct' --> '..\CW2\Events'

'Script.ini' does not need to be installed, and is included in case anybody wishes to mod the original setup. Understanding modding setups is a prerequisite.

Okay, I've found it! Running 1.06.1 if you purchase NO replacements, nothing happens.

I have 32 missing elements and purchased 5 replacements and ran the turn, and all 32 missing elements were replaced, and none of the replacement chits were used

Thanks Capt_Orso but you just confirmed what Crickler posted two months ago. He even took the time to post visual evidence. The bug exists. It is somehow connected with Patch 1.06.1. Its been two months now and the game is broken. I re-installed to 1.06 but for all the Steam folks that's not possible. I know AGEOD is a small company but is anyone actually working on a fix?? Pocus??

Hello everyone. Recent player and first time poster. I've been following this threat after I noticed that my replacement pool just kept getting larger despite my own terrible game-play and excessive losses.

It's great to see so many people go above and beyond to identify the bug that is causing this issue.

Does anyone know how to roll back the steam version. If it can't be rolled back is there a fix expected for this issue. It's a bit game breaking. As noted, the force pool dries up by 1863...

Thanks Caprain Orso for the detailed detective work, especially for a bug that was not affecting you.

I will try to summarize what we know so far:
1) There is a bug with replacements in version 1.06.1. The bug does not exist in 1.06. It also appears in some other games.
2) The general nature of the bug is that it is possible to get replacements for units without using up replacement chits.
3) The bug only activates if there are at least some replacement chits available for at least one unit type (based on Captain Orso's testing). If there are no replacement chits available for any unit type, then no units will get replacements. I believe it is still possible to get replacements for a unit type without having any replacement chits available so long as there are replacement chits available for other unit types.
4) The bug does not appear to affect all units. Replacements for some navel units (not entirely confirmed which ones) still appear to work properly.

Incoming beta patch, please verify it fixes the bug!

Sorry for the long delay

Incoming beta patch, please verify it fixes the bug!

Thanks for the update.

I can not confirm that it fixes the issue. I applied the patch, ran a brief 15 minute test; replacement chits appear to be broken as they previously were.

Is it working for anyone else?

[Malwart]

I can confirm that they are not working for me either. I posted a bit more detail in the improvement thread but the long and short is that it did not seem to fix the problem.

[Pocus]

Darn, the new code should have fixed that! Sorry guys, I'll work further and then do proper testing this time. Stay tuned, new patch within 24 hours baring a meteorite on my house.

Thanks Phil. I knew there was a reason why I was holding off on updating. Will await the
update!

With the 1.06.3 patch, as far as the testing with line infantry replacements, it's working

[ashandresash]

Will there be a TEAW patch soon? I'm playing a cooperative MP with another 4 players, we're a dozen turns into the game and I've noticed this bug (I've found this thread when I was going to post it in its subforum).
