I did see guard posts release ships after being shot in one of my games, so it doesnt reproduce every time |
|
|
Log is surprisingly clean, I'll see if I can duplicate it. |

|
I can indeed duplicate it in this save -- thank you! |

Ooooof. Okay, so the bug here is something that I had wondered if it would be a problem. The neutral faction is not always faction 0 anymore. The player faction very often is, and so that's causing some random code to break when it is. In this case, there is code that says: if ( mostAnnoyingFaction == 0 ) return; //confusingly, we are deploying units against the Neutral Faction; this probably means that an enemy has just become our ally The problem is, "faction 0" in that savegame is the humans! I do not feel like dealing with this problem and all the codes whose assumptions we just broke, so I am going to fix it so that instead naturalobject is always faction 0 again. That means that a few saves like this one will be permanently broken, but that's preferable to months of off and on problems. |

Thanks! * Fixed an issue where NaturalObject (no owner) faction was not always set to faction index 0 anymore. This was something I was already aware of, but wasn't sure if it would be a problem. ** It turns out that this was a major problem, and would cause various ailments such as units not reacting to aggro and releasing units, to all sorts of other potentially unknown stuff. This will not fix existing 3.700 saves that had this problem, but any new saves will not have the problem. |
