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 #000033 Issue Type Issue Severity 0 – None Assigned Status 23 – Fix Accepted By Reporter Version 2009.083 Fixed in 2009.094 Long range AA missile intercept geometryPosted by Grumble on 26 July 2013 - 11:59 AM Long range anti air missiles occasionally follow very strange and unrealistic intercept paths. 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…

Issue Information Issue ID #000047 Issue Type Issue Severity 0 – None Assigned Status UNFILED Version 2009.094 Fixed in Kirov goes for a walk (AI)Posted by Grumble on 15 September 2013 - 02:50 PM (Btw. there is no 2009.095 version yet in the Issue Tracker.) I'm playing HDS7 8.0 Cauldron with "Ignore ships running aground" (accidentally) but I don't think this is a reason for the AI surface groups to take a walk across the Crimean. The Kirov group I'm sure have a scenario plotted course going to Odessa, to my Slava group, yet it has just came ashore near Donuslav Lake and heading East-North-East. Could be trying to intercept my AGS group, which is irrelevant f…

Issue Information Issue ID #000035 Issue Type Issue Severity 0 – None Assigned Status 23 – Fix Accepted By Reporter Version 2009.087 Fixed in 2009.089 Drop sonubuoy key activates hull sonarsPosted by Grumble on 01 August 2013 - 03:29 AM The drop sonubuoy key activates hull sonars of ships and submarines also. Expected: drop sonubuoy should drop buoys and activate dipping sonars only. Player might accidentally use the key for the wrong group or might want to activate dipping sonars of a/c formation patrols of a mixed group / CVBG. This will erroneously also activate hull sonars of ships and submarines, revealing their locations to enemy sonars. Load …

Issue Information Issue ID #000001 Issue Type Issue Severity 0 – None Assigned Status 91 – Duplicate Version 2015.028 Fixed in 2016.002 Undetermined problem finishing scenarioPosted by broncepulido on 13 March 2016 - 02:14 PM Just when I was finishing the building of a great scenario, something is wrong and now the scenario can't start (it only lacks delete some US submarines, add paths and speeds to submarines and add other chinese ships). I was thinking the problem was the Stennis Group (AEC), but I'm not sure (perhaps after change variable start points, but I don't see it clear). Too late in the day to find it now! (see attached file).

Issue Information Issue ID #000037 Issue Type Issue Severity 0 – None Assigned Status UNFILED Version 2009.086 Fixed in Aircraft Launch form AirbasesPosted by eeustice on 05 August 2013 - 07:04 PM HDS9-10 Edited scenario when starting the game with 0 sec time interval Air groups from Airfield AFA launches some aircraft groups with all planes in the group after a game time of 35 seconds. Air groups DXA, EAA, EBA, ECA, EDA, EFA and EGA have all 10 of their aircraft launched after 35 sec. Air groups EHA and EIA only have 1 or 2 aircraft in their group after 35 seconds which is correct. The air base has 2 runways. When restarting the scenario at a 1 sec interv…

Issue Information Issue ID #000032 Issue Type Issue Severity 0 - None Assigned Status 10 - Confirmed Version 2009.083 Fixed in Loiter at cruise speedPosted by Grumble on 26 July 2013 - 10:41 AM Aircrafts loitering at med or high altitude change indicated speed to cruise speed after saving then loading the game or cancelling an attack order. E.g. when the a/c prompts to launch weapons but the player cancels it. (there are probably other situations when this happens, these two are the most apparent) The a/c holds position and Throttle remains at "Loiter" but the Kts number changes to the a/c's med altitude cruise speed. Test scenario, load savegame 1 Group ACA …

It appears that ActGroupPtr (for use with Export.dll) does not ‘fire’ when the selected group in the GE changes by virtue of an air group being split. The Zip file includes the saved game ActGrouPtrNoFIreGrpSplt.hpq and its parent scenario for use in WestPac BS with HCDB 150929 DB . To replicate open the saved game and select the Air group ABA (comprising two F-111), split one plane and follow the normal suggested setting of a course for the new group ACA. The selected group in the game changes from the original Air Group to the new Group but ActGroupPtr does not fire in export.dll addon programs eg LazGUI (see included JPG) and the ActGroupPtr remains the old s…

I was cleaning up my HDS9-10 scenario for release and the Memory Allocation Failure reappeared when I tried to add ASW helo's to TG AAC. I was able to recreate the problem several times. This is with the standard db since it is an original Harpoon Scenario. I am using the latest version of the SE. Pleas let me know if you have any questions. Thanks, Eric Issu…

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

Issue Information Issue ID #000026 Issue Type Issue Severity 0 – None Assigned Status UNFILED Version 0000.000 Fixed in Chaotic SAM rate of firePosted by broncepulido on 30 June 2013 - 09:04 AM I think a long time ago we wrote something about it, but I don't remember it very well. I was messing with the Cold War DB, thinking in the relation of posible SAM fired from a Beam Rider system (hypothesis, 1xilluminating fire control radar and telecommand system), a SARH system (hypothesis, 2xFCR), a NTU system (hypothesis, 3xFCR) and some AEGIS/PAAMS systems (perhaps 4xFCR, but PAAMS doubles as FCR with less performances). How I've not clear what was the relation SAM…

Issue Information Issue ID #000046 Issue Type Issue Severity 0 – None Assigned Status UNFILED Version 2009.094 Fixed in Beyond bingo AI interceptsPosted by Grumble on 14 September 2013 - 01:24 PM AI is scrambling (but aggressively , finally we can say this ) a/c-s to targets well over the interceptor's range. Actually I would prefer AI to calculate even with wider than before margin, i.e. to only scramble for targets well within range, the interceptor should have enough combat fuel left when reaching the target (or a handy tanker up his sleeves). Hmm, now that I think about this ... this might be more complex than I thought, preferably AI would need to reac…

I've seen this happen for an F-14 tracking a Mirage F1 at some 50nm and now I got a save file for an F-15 on Su-17 at 12nm. load nofix.hpc group WLA (3xSu-17) is in front of CJA (2xF-15) at 13nm even for a blind to see run the game for 4 seconds for the next radar update ... nope, still uncertain contact only Why??
