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. I know these weapons were corrected as four years ago in the game engine because excessive accuracy (don't remember it well now). With many years of delay at last Longshot HAAWC (weapon entry #22580) reached IOC in November 2022, and my idea was to introduce it in the new scenarios after 11/2022. Previously Stand Off ASW are little employed (mostly for old Soviet/Russian SSNs) and I didn't repair on this bug. When a Stand Off ASW weapon is now employed, the torpedo (I didn't tested nuke depth bombs) drops in water TEN NM from the target, and the torpedo never can reach the submarine target. If the launching ship is less than 10 NM from the target, the torp…

  2. 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

  3. Hey Tony While helping Eric on a issue I became aware of an issue. We find out that a 0kts problem Eric was having occur in version 2021.014 but was not occurring with his test scenario with my computer which was only at 2021.012. He down his version and it fixed the problem for him. I decided to update to 2021.014 but got the attach popups. I tried to do this with the latest 2022 version with same effect. I then tried to go back to 2018 version to start reloading up to the latest version but the same popups occurred. It seems to indicate my winharp.exe is now out dated. I changed nothing an use the process of updates to the latest version of 2021.…

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. Play Blue and crank the time compression up to 5 mins. You'll get a detection at 21nm....if it's nighttime (haven't tested during daylight). Both Blue and Red a…

  7. 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 …

  8. super slueth TonyD has found a number of older scenarios don't open in GE 2023.006, but can be opened in the current SE, saved with no changes, and they run. I've attached a zipped scenario that shows this defect. GE.log included, runs BS Medc2003, DB HCDB 150621. Don ge_OldScenWontOpen.zip

  9. Issue Information ⦁ Issue ID #000013 ⦁ Issue Type Issue ⦁ Severity 0 – None Assigned ⦁ Status 21 - Fix Coded ⦁ Version 2008.050 ⦁ Fixed in 2009.082 Can't fire ASuW at surfaced subPosted by mavfin on 05 April 2013 - 08:23 PM GE is 2009.076. Attached file is original GIUK, scenario 3. Is this caused by the old DB, or a GE issue? Under 30 miles from the US surface group is a heavily damaged Tango on the surface. However, if I try to attack with surface ships, I get the choice of Standoff ASW or Short Range ASW. No choice of missiles. Soon as a helo takes off, I'll have a hard radar lock, and should be able to finish it off. I've had other instances of this,…

  10. 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…

  11. Tony, In the update you just released when you add a base to a scenario and then close the box the SE closes. I was adding a base to Taiwan. I reinstalled hc2020.004GESE and the SE didn't close when I closed the Add Base Menu. Attached are the Scenario and the latest addition of my Fictional db \ave a great day, Eric SE Closes After Adding Base.zip

No crash msg. Sorry guys that's all the info I have. The attached saved game will crash after ASM hits. Have tried to run several times and crash happens every time. Attached is my latest db, game saved file and the GE log. I gave attached the last 2 saved games prior to the crash in case it helps. Last GE log indicates that this may be a refueling issue with group GOA (Just north of Japan). If you have any qu…

  14. IN this attached zip there is the original scenario (attack) and a saved game (ItsGone.0046) - using: Westpac BS and HCDB2-170909 DB I played with GE 2024.003 In the saved game a unit from the group ZXS (now group ZVS) has been destroyed and it's sinking. In a moment the undamaged remaining ship in group ZXS will instantly sink. Analysis shows that in the code the SinkEvent that was associated with the genuine sinking unit of group ZVS seems to have transferred to the non damaged remaining ZXS unit. The sinking ZVS unit never sinks. At the moment this is probably only useful as a funny distraction, I believe I need to go back and try to find when the 'transf…

  16. GE 2021.010, Test save game zip attached, using westpac battleset and hcdb 150929 database At point of start 3 fa 18 detect two helo and a ship. Total victory is to destroy a ship, min victory is to destroy a helo. If you first sink the ship then down the helo you only get min victory, I would expect you'd get both min and total victory as both conditions are met. If you down the helo then sink the ship you get your minimum vic (when helo is downed) and total when ship is sunk, as I'd expect. PS in the same scenario but with no minimum victory set you get total victory when you sink the ship so that is good. victest.zip

Trying to isolate and reproduce the effect, and before the "experiment" is a success (In the current scenario Blue ship is not yet detected by Red ship, for verify if course is changed), I did observe another prob…
