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.

    Hello, I am running HUCE 2015.72. I am editing the database and I have change the Loadout DATA of a few aircrafts. It seems that game engine always uses the aircraft DATA instead of the loadout DATA. So DATA is the same with a heavy loadout and with a light loadout. Is there anyway to use the loadout DATA instead of the aircraft DATA?

E.g. when the a/c prompts to launch weapons but the player cancels it.

Looks almost as if they were flying to a precalculated intercept point and then turn towards the target, which could be normal for long range AA but this behaviour is not consistent (usually the missiles are tracking their targets all the way, see Gammon example) and the intercept points also seem wrong, like too far away, ofte…

  5. 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…

Is the IR even working? When I ran the attached test scenario is was nighttime. You'll have to use my homemade database to run the attached test scenario (using EC2003 GIUK Battleset). 1.

If my ships are sailing on a course and I try to move 1 or more ships within the main body then those particular ships whose position I'm shifting (within the main body) all converge together at one point within the main body ring. The only solution I've found to make adjustments within that ring is to cancel the formation's course until the particular ships I'm moving take up their new position…

  8. Hi, I've been playing most of the default Battleset scenarios, specifically WestPac, and have come across an issue where Blue Tanker units are run aground at scenario start of WestPac2 (Pirate War). No issue in official 2015.027. Maybe a beta issue or just me? Screenshot 1: Standard build 2015.027 and HCDB-150928 Screenshot 2: Beta build 2020.003 and HCDB-150929 (Same issue in HCDB2-170909) Thanks

I see it as a very minor issue, but perhaps it's of easy solving. Issue-53-Maximum-missile-range-in-plattform-editor=6553-nm.pdf

  10. When playing the user scenario EC Tom1_1.scn, in EC2003 Battle for the Atlantic Ocean running Build 2021.006 in Win 10 (via Parallels on a Mac - its complicate but things usually work just fine!) the game crashed without warning and produced the following message: At the time of the crash my machine had roughly 1.24 GB of memory available The having re-opened Harpoon the "saved game" would not reload and produced the following message: Is this just a "thing" or can the "saved game" be rescued (because, damn it, I was winning!)? Any and all suggestions, help, advice, guidance welcomed. Regards, …

I brought it back into the gam window by selecting it in the Oder of Battle drop down menu and splitting the TG. This is a similar problem to what I had on 5-6-13 with my Debug Assertion Failed Wespac Scenario Crash. This time when I brought the TG back into the screen as soon as the whole TG was beamed back into the Gam…

  13. I was playing Giuk1 scenerio with the new 2018.05 version with DB 150928 and also tried with 150621. I notice that missile in all versions with midcource guidance would adjust path if target adjusted path unlike inertia and terminal guidance which would only if the target was still in it own sensors range of detection. I engaged with both aim120 and meteors and in all cases the missile directional arrows of flight in group window would point to the intended target yet it would not adjust course to pursue regardless of distance to target and sensors of launch aircraft on or off. They acted as if they did not have the midcourse guidance flag present. The is …

The F2 and F3 versions have only the 27nm Mica AAM vs. +40nm Alamos and Adders, but theoretically this should be manageable with the help of the Rafale's low RCS, the Su-27S 65nm radar detects it at max 12nm and even the Su-27SM's 135nm radar has max 25nm range on it (don't mess with the Su-35 though ). But in practice the Sukhoi…

Most GBUs have "High" max altitude and so these fly to target on High, I guess they are detected visually, as per 5.4.2. Radar log shows that radar detection is indeed impossible, in the first detection cycle…

(057b.hpm, drop PGMs, bearing only, on both ships) I switched to red (058red.hpm) to check how does the detection occur, only it does not, at least SA does not report any detection, but the ships are launc…

  19. 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.

In the Montrose BALTOPS 2016 scenario: http://harpgamer.com...story-scenario/ The civilian yatch is clearly and correctly named "Sea Tow Flensburg" in the Scenario Editor, but the name is truncated in the Game Engine to "Sea Tow Flensbu" !!!
