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.

Issue Information Issue ID #000038 Issue Type Suggestion Severity 0 – None Assigned Status UNFILED Version 2009.086 Fixed in Group report popup window niceitiesPosted by Grumble on 09 August 2013 - 07:16 AM A light course for connoisseurs, for long, boring winter evenings when there is just nothing to do . The information presented in the Group report popup ('F' key after selecting a group) is somewhat ambiguous and incomplete for multiple carriers. (I know, I know, but look, I did file this as a 'suggestion' ) Only the first carrier's name is displayed on the "Carrier Name:" line Total Aircraft number counts a/c-s both on deck or on formation patrol, inclu…

After the air to air guidance issue was fixed I decided to test other guided munitions such as torps and stand off missile. Test scenario and two saves attached. AGM such as the Taurus, Scalp egg and Storm shadow displayed repeatedly to lose direction when launch at multiple targets from one attacking group. It would guide to one of the designated targets then turn either to 0 degree heading or 180 degree heading prior to impact on any of the targets. I then repeated the test attacking each target separately and achieved correct results with hits on all targets attacked separately. Torpedoes responded the same whether single target attacks or multiple targe…

When attacking a ship with guns the number of rounds the GE selects to destroy a target is much larger than what is really required to sink target. Attached is a test scenario based on my fictional db. Issue verified by TonyE TonyE Note: AttackDoctrineWithRisk uses the AllocateRounds logic which is meant for missiles (which can be shot down), not for guns. Guns Test.scq

As consequence of the great and recent "Coral Sea 25" I did observe a little strange behaviour. To analyse it I scripted a little ASBM (anti-ship ballistic missile) scenario, settled in The Middle East IOPG theatre (Red Sea). Basically the problem is, when launched ASBM against the USN surface group, the Burke-class DDG correctly launches only SM-3 against the incoming orbital missiles, as they are capable of shooting down incoming missiles at orbit height, but not the SM-6 or SM-2, as its maximum ceiling is Very High. But the Harriers are launching against the incoming missiles its AMRAAM and Sidewinder, uncapable to reach orbit height!!! (only High or Ver…

Test scenario attached, with many planes with air-to-ground guns modelled as guns, and some others with the guns modelled as ordnace, doing his job as usual. The targets are SE of the airbase.

When loading SE gets GetDiskAnnexA Error: !lS_Disk(51627..... Figured out the issue was in the Installations Annex, ID 51627 Japan airbase Komatsu was missing the following: No Side No Lat or Long No Runway Type No Runway Count Upon further investigation after fixing Komatsu, loaded the scenario again and received another Base Get annex error. Looked in the db and found and found various bases missing the same info on them. I was asked to look into a problem from another forum member who was receiving the GetDiskAnnex errors after making a small edit to the db. Prior to editing the db he was unable to edit the bases.

Icons do not move unless you click on one in the unit or group map. Result is you dont see accurate position of planes and missiles causing you to react slowly and often with disatrous results.

Start a new WestPac mission with Game Options all to Yes except for Full Ordnance. Side: BLUE. Then choose the last mission, "The Backyard", hit New Game - and for me it usually crashes at this point. It seems to have something to do with mission settings, because when I set all Game Options to Yes, it launches just fine. OS: XP Ver: HCE, the latest relase, meaning 2007.000, I guess. DB: Standard one that goes with this release.

Issue Information Issue ID #000029 Issue Type Issue Severity 0 - None Assigned Status 10 - Confirmed Version 2009.084 Fixed in HDS3 range circles off by 10%Posted by Grumble on 16 July 2013 - 12:53 AM Range circles in HDS3 are displayed 10% shorter than the nominal value. This does not seem to effect the game mechanics, for example AAM attacks are made from the true possible distance, but the display shows that AAMs are fired when the target is still outside of the AAM range circle. First I spotted only the AAM discrepancy but click-measuring easily shows that all circles are off. E.g. clicking the opposite edges of Phoenix AAM range circle: 199-200nm (expect…

A user from the Great White North, recently returned to the game is experiencing memory corruption in the original USNI BattleSet, Scenario 5.0. He has experienced this both in 2020.009 and 2020.017. Some saved games are attached. I have tested extensively using AutoTest and have not replicated either issue (game exiting with heap corruption error [USNI5.zip] nor game exiting without any warning [NoErrorCrash.zip]). Right after the USNI5.zip saves a Slava is sunk but does not trigger a crash for me. The user has mentioned doing a lot of air group splitting and joining while playing. I view that as a valuable hint as very few players exercise that function…

Issue Information Issue ID #000096 Issue Type Issue Severity 0 – None Assigned Status 90 – Not an Issue Version 2014.020 Fixed in 2014.020 Helo blip enhancer too effective?Posted by CV32 on 30 October 2014 - 05:11 AM Launched an ASuW strike of more than a dozen antiship missiles at an enemy surface group. A pair of enemy helicopters (Helix, iirc) along the missile flight path decoyed ALL of the missiles. I will try and get a useful savegame, but this might be a tweaking issue rather than a bug as such. Issue-096-Helo-blip-enhancer-too-effective.pdf
