Defect Tracking

Repository of user created Defect, Bug, Issue, Feature reports for HC.

Background: This forum encapsulates perhaps the most thorough documentation of sub-optimal performance of HC. Most of the reports demonstrate excellent form and presentation to make addressing defects as easy as possible, use them as a template. The term Defect is used since not everything is a bug; some items are bugs, some are design limitations, some voice a dissenting viewpoint, defect is the term chosen to cover all of the ground.

 

Tags: Add the following tags to new issue reports,

OP: Username, UNFILED, VerRep: 2017.011

Replace "Username" with your forum username and 2017.011 with the version of the game in which you see the issue.

 

Hints: A test scenario is better than a saved game. A tiny test scenario targeted at the problem helps track down the issue. The fewer the units in the scenario, the easier to debug as well.

  1. Started by eeustice,

    In the SE when switching between the WestPac Battleset and the HDS9 Battleset a Get Annex message appears and SE crashed. If any additional information is needed. pleaselet me know.

  2. Just notice air to air missile problem in which after engaging other aircraft with missile remaining missiles would disappear from remaining AC magazines. Example 4 plane group each with 4BVR and 4WVR missile engage 4 enemy AC. After firing on the enemy AC the total of fired missiles and remaining missiles would vary. Each red group contained 16 BVR missiles. The F15 would fire eight but only 7 or less BVR missile would remain sometime all remaining BVR missiles would simply disappear. They would fire 8BVR missiles and upon inspection of attacking group in unit window, one or more extra missiles would be gone leaving 7 or less. Cntr Alt S show no other than the missi…

  3. I am wondering if this issue is related to TonyD's Red side missile issue. When attempting to attack Red missile group XuM I am unable to select it as a target. The target missile group has 36, KH-101 ASuW missiles in it. The is on the northern part of the map up by Petropavlovsk, Russia When attempting to attack the missile group I am unable to select it as a target for Air-to-Air missiles. It doesn't register as a target. I can select the missile group with the mouse and see it's Group ID and get the missile groups info in DonT's AI window. In the opening screen of the saved game the unit Window shows the location of XuM, I'm not sure if the issue a…

  4. in GE vers 2025.025 scenario 2 there are a significant number of aground ships. When looking in the Scenario Editor and comparing with 2022.027 the BS map appears to have been distorted. Screen shots below

  5. While running scenario, the GE crashed without warning multiple times. Attached are saved game files, GE and Message Log. Tried running without AI ToolBox. If more saved Game files are needed they are available. Same thing happened yesterday, but while trying to recreate the issue it stopped occurring. If you need any additional info or saved games, please let me know.. GE Crash HDS 9.zip

  6. Opened up the NACV Mission #15 - Retreat. The unit CHVG Baku has got an SA-N-9 Launcher, but the actual weapons that get fired from these mounts are SS-N-9 Siren missiles. So instead of having 96 anti-air missiles it has 96 Siren ship to ship missiles.

  7. Open the save, there's a group of planes in the south with dozens of nuclear anti-ship missiles. Use them to attack the blue surface group to their south and the AI automatic choice wants to dump all ~65 missiles into the first ship in the list. This might have impacts on the AI, even though as humans we can de-allocate and retarget then launch. Incidentally, is there a way to add a button that de-allocates every weapon attacking a fleet? nuketarget.hp2

  8. I was playing the GUIK mission #11 "Cutting The Noose" and after winning it I decided to turn on nukes and finish the game blowing up the last Nato ship with a nuclear torpedo. It is already damaged by 20%. The attack went off and hit but didn't sink the ship. This save can be loaded and go straight to attack the ship. On reloading and triggering it again I found that when the nuke goes off the ship will end up at around 80% damage in the non-sinkings. It is a destroyer so it would hardly seem capable of surviving a nuke with only an extra 60% damage. Nuke4 is a slightly earlier save where you can attack the ship & launch. Nuke6 the torp has been launch…

  9. Hey TonyE Was doing some testing on the latest launcher. Was changing load outs on AC groups and this popped up in scenario editor. It would create up to 160 new ac during re doing loadouts. It happens for BS scenarios and user created both. Verified by Eric. TonyD

  10. Played in BS Westpac with DB HCDB2-170909 game version 2025.023. Carrier group AAC comprises three carriers each with unique class of ac. group ACA is sent out on patrol comprising ac from each carrier. It is ordered to RTB and land. Up until the landing commences the three units have their correct home unit being the unit from which they took off. The saved game AirMove1.0003 (from scenarioAirMove1.scq attached) is the second before they commence to land and units have correct home unit. One second later one ac from each unit has landed on the home carrier of unit AC000, no ac land on the other two carriers. I believe the units should land on their parent carri…

  11. Air groups HaA and FvA were landing on the same time on carrier group AAC. When the last plane in group HaA landed group FvA did not land. Group FvA was split off of HaA. Created a test scenario with 1 base and 1 CV and the same splitting of the air group and both groups landed correctly. Created a smaller version of the game using DonT's AI tool Box and both air groups landed. The saved game has not been edited. If more saved game files are needed please let me know. AC Not Landing.zip

  12. Using db hcdb2 170909, westpac BS, GE 2025.019 In the attach file two save games, one before a save and one shortly after loading the save, named accordingly. Before the save the three units of air group ADA comprising had been in air formation patrol of AAa, but split off using F8 group split command. The other independent air groups of single units had also been patrol units in AAa and split of earlier, one unit at a time with no errors occurring. Two log files are also included, these are from two different loadings of the after save game, one with much less logging but including logging for 'load' and giving what looks like interesting information …

  13. In the attached zip the scenario BasicTest2025018SE-hcdb is written using SE version 2025.018 to test the issue is still current. Database HCDB 150929 is used in westpac BS. THe scenario is opened in GE 2025.018, three choppers are set in air formation patrol within the group AAS. One DDG unit is split off from group to form ABS and a 4th chopper air formation patrol is set for AAS. ABS has no AC. The game is saved giving BasicTest-hcdb-A.hpq. The saved game is opened and the 4 air formation patrols are incorrectly described in the formation editor, the class is noted where it should note the patrol type (in this case ASW). The formation events - both air formatio…

  14. When Blue air group CzA attempts to shoot an Air-to-Air missile at ASW missile TCM a Debug Fault occurs. If you click on Ignore enough times a missile is launched. Attached is a saved game file and 4 before the issue occurs. There are 4 seconds of saved game files in in the Auto Saved folder. GE and SE logs are attached. I attempted to create a smaller file using Don Thomas's AI Tool Box, but it seemed to change the saved game file. This is a custom scenario based on Harpoon Designers Series 9 Scenario 10. If you need any additional information, please let me know.

  15. I found in my current game that somewhere during the game my air patrols for Guam lost their identity and went out of their patrol zones. They lost the number of aircraft that were in the patrol in the Formation Editor. I found the file where the patrols lost place in the formation and started playing from there. I played for awhile saving the game every second. I checked the Formation for Guam and all planes were where they were supposed to be. I turned the Formation Grid off in the Staff options and the patrols lost the number of planes and their patrol area. Whats even stranger, the information was lost in earlier turns that were saved that were never opene…

  16. Started by eeustice,

    Air Group C9A Not Landing.zip As Air Group C9A is landing on Chitose, Japan (AHb) AC stop landing at 36 AC left in the group. I ran multiple test and had the same thing happen each time I ran the test stopping and reloading the game. If I don't pause the game all 60 planes land. There are multiple saved games due to not knowing when the Air Group decides not to land, If any additional files are needed, please let me know. When running 2024.002 GE this issued did not occur.

  17. GE 2025.017 BS Malacca (built in HCDB2 170909) Attached zip with orignal scenario, two saved games (both should get to crash within a few secs, depends on luck of attacking SAM), two GE.LOG for respective saves but both very similiar. Just let either save game run. it is somewhat inconsistent as the time taken before chopper is hit by sam seems to vary but this assertion failed notice comes up and then game crash. StoreCrash1.zip

  18. When exiting game and saving only one time during the game, eg at game close, on opening the saved game the UUID and UUID_PREV values of ScenSaveDataIn are unchanged from the previous session. If at least two saves are done during the game then on opening the saved game the UUID value is new and the UUID_PREV value is the UUID value from the previous session, as I expect. I've made screen shots as follows: 1/ A fresh game start opening a scenario. The AIWindow console bottom left shows the ScenLoad passed data for ScenSaveDataIn.UUID and .UUID_PREV The next step is after closing the previous game with a game save then opening the saved game. The AIWin…

  19. install 2025.016 database hcdb2-170909 battleset westpac in the zip pack the parent scenario and xml, GE.log, and two saves a second apart, either save should get you to the crash. Interceptor F106A has fired jenie nuke aams at a fllight of bombers, there is impact and the bombers are wiped out, there is an error message and any response to the error message (retry, ignore) results in game crash. I personally think this is a moral indicator that nukes shouldn't be used in any situation westpac-jenie.0002.0004.zip

  20. StoreConsumed in Effects.c about line 727 is only being called if FireGuns returns true which is incorrect, StoreConsumed should be called no matter the return value of FireGuns. Also around Effects.c line 1055 Also around Effects.c line 1189
