Open General Bug ?

Post by Pat » 2023-03-26 21:41, Sunday

Hello guys.
I am having this problem:
Sometimes, when a unit gets a leader, the game freezes, so i have to restart again.
It had been happening for some time, on two different (performant) gaming laptops, on windows 8, 10 and 11.

Any clue?

Thank you in advance.

No clue, sorry.
Can you tell us which folder did you select to install OG ?
Also, can you finish any scenario if no leaders are raised?

Hello

The folder is:
c:\03-Games\01-Open general

In fact , i can play normally , with or without leaders.
In fact it happens (sometimes) when a unit gets a leader, and you want to check the unit. Then i have to press Cntrl+alt+del to end task , and i reload the last save.

This did not happen when we used to play PG2.

If you report a bug - it's a good idea to include a snippet of the game report
You know then
--> where the game was installed
--> what game engine (version)
--> what artificial intelligence (Al)
--> what e-file
--> what campaign
--> what scenario
--> what current map

e.g.
OpenGen 0.93.5.0 * 16 Jul 2022 * AI version: Default (0.91)
Efile folder: D:\OpenGeneral\efile_gus\ * Efile version: GusOpen ver. 7.4.0
Campaign: G40 KRIEGSMARINE 36-43 v.4.1, * Player prestige modifier 300% * AI prestige modifier 100%

Played Scenarios:
1 ZANZIBAR , #0 , Brilliant Victory , score:42 +++ Proto: Ju 87A
2 MADAGASKAR , #1 , Brilliant Victory , score:42
3 GRUPPE "ARKTIKA" , #2 , Brilliant Victory , score:44
--
Campaign score: 128 * Average: 42

..
Current scenario: GRUPPE "ARKTIKA", VH prestige is 1680 , All map prestige is: 3360
Army cost: 9649 , Current prestige is 3879
Prestige available on map yet is 0 pp ( 0 pp in VH to capture) * Turn: 17
AI stance is Aggressive Using map: 1005

The bug is irrelevant to the game i was playing, coz it was happening for some time , ever since i started OG ,and on different platforms, eg laptops.
I guess it has something to do with graphic cards or resolution or compatibility with windows, i don t know...
Do you remember the paratroopers bug trying to take the last VH?
The exe file uses SDL2(D3D)Compatible XP

As for the second issue, we used to press Escape in PG2 , whenever we wanted to skip the AI playing turns. What happens is that you get thrown out. Maybe this option should be included again?

Maybe I don't quite understand (I don't know English) --> but it's very specific --> as you write, there was an error on many computers, but no one else was found to have an error ...
... I bet it's specific to your installation ... have you tried running the game with OpenGen 0.90.61.6 dd * (2 Feb 2020) ?

For me (OpenGen 0.93.5.0 * 16 Jul 2022) --> when I press the end of the turn and the Al turn starts - I press "ESC" a message pops up --> "Do you want to stop the movement of Al?"--> I can choose - yes, no
Pressing only the "ESC" key causes
*** OpenGeneral hotkeys ***
<ESC> Exit (menu, dialog or game)

Thanx for the help.
But i tried every update for OG.

While navigating the hotkeys, i found "Ctrl B" for bug report.
Will try next time the game freezes.

Yes, the error is surely related with your hardware, I checked the code and tried to replicate, but everything worked as expected, I can cancel AI with ESC, exit any panel and quit the game otherwise

Unluckily Ctrl+B wont work once you game is frozen, but if you enabled logging commands (.xlog) and logging AI (ai*.log) you could use Ctrl+B after reloading the last saved game (prior ro freeze) and then attach the latest ai*.log and the latest .xlog form the OPENLOG folder

I would not say that a brand new Ge76 Raider (at the time) would have a hardware problem.

Hope the bug report will resolve the matter.

Thanks for the help guys.

Just happened.

Sent a bug report with attachments.
in fact , they are 2 reports, the one with the savegame before the AI turn, and the one one with the unit having the leader.
I also sent the entire openlog.zip in another mail.

Report sent to yahoo mail.

Edit: sent a second savegame with the same bug, and a 3rd savegame , with the same unit having no leader, and no bug.
