Has there been any reports of inappropriate terrain showing on the west edge?

Nope.

OK. We are particularly interested in anything that shows up in a new map/sceanrio but if anyone sees anything in any other scenario or generated game other than the 2 we already know about ( 9 and 400 ) we want to know about it with a save game if possible.

The more examples we have of it gives us more things to test with the code fixes we will try

This is just an FYI.

I tested (only a few turns, but the left hand junk problem manifest itself in the first couple of turns) two of my Amph assault scenarios (716 and 728) one has the water on the right and the other the water on the left. But thus far there is no "map junk" in the scenarios showing up.

So this is a "hopeful" indication that newer scenarios are perhaps okay.

I'll keep trying a few things.

I have noticed something new which I have not noticed before in both games. Perhaps its is what is designed or always been this way but I just started noticing while doing some testing.

In both games, any AFV that has water movement class or capability (i.e., Sherman DD or BTR-60PB) can move beyond the "lit up" movement area. Normally when not in the water no AFV can surpass the "lit up" movement area.

I don't know if this is intentional, or if there is any ill effects (so far I have not seen any AFV with water capability breaking down).

Just wanted to bring this up incase its some kind of side effect?

We now have a save game from MBT that shows this. Note that the junk gets placed over V hex markers, buildings and vehicles



So YES........ we are taking this seriously and are looking into it

This is a freshly random generated beach assault.
After turn 4 it shows junk terrain on the left edge.

Same save after code fix applied



Not we start looking for any "GOTCHA!"s

EDIT........ and I think I see one........ Note the building on fire in the first save with the junk is not burning in the save after the junk fix

GOTCHA!......

So....... this could take awhile yet. Also note there is a burning wreck in one and not the other but these screen shots may not be from the same point in the game so I need to double check that too

EDIT

GOOD NEWS ( for me.)

I restarted MBT with the release EXE and that first screen shot WAS from a later time in the game

Got it. Thanks

That is one big ugly battle.......At least I know somebody tried a winter beach assault.

I used grey sand for those to make it more dreary

My scenario 716 is a winter beach assault, thanks for your graphics!
