Combat report on ground/port bombing is missing

[VukyTzar]

I recently got new PC and did clean install with 1.1.24 patch (didnt install unofficial patch) and now during air phase whenever my bombers are attacking ground troops or ports and airfields without enemy planes present I dont get any combat report. I cant even see bombings in combat report window after turn. Also I have missing aircraft sprites when I turn on combat animations. I installed Clear day map mod but I removed because I tought it caused combat reports missing but problem still occures with vanilla. Is reinstalling only option?[:(]

Are you saying you saw an attack during combat replay but it didn't show up as a report afterwards like the one pictured here?

[VukyTzar]

Yep, exactly that. I do get reports on other stuff including ground combat/bombardments... I am really confused why it is happening ( I'm playing this game for almost 2 years and never had any problems so far)

[geofflambert]

If so, please provide a screen grab of an air unit ordered to attack, then take a screen grab of the attack during combat replay and provide that. Then take a screen grab of the spot in the report where the attack should have shown up, given the order it appeared in during the replay.

[VukyTzar]

This is airgroup assigned to bomb troops

[VukyTzar]

And this is moment when they arrive but after that it just skips on to the next action in this case bombing of Khota Baru (and it shows me combat report cause there were enemy planes)

[VukyTzar]

and i suppose it should show above Kota Bharu raid because it happened prior to that

[VukyTzar]

and here is my pref screen, maybe I messed up something in there

[geofflambert]

I have no earthly idea. Does the same thing happen when allied units attack but there's no interception?

I think I remember someone reporting something like this a while back. There should be a thread about it here in the tech support sub-forum. Sorry I don't have a link.

Is the "combat animation off" having a effect on it?

You are not seeing it because you need to set Combat animations - ON

You are not seeing it because you need to set Combat animations - ON

Is that what was found earlier?

I ask because AFAIK you are supposed to be able to get combat summaries without combat animations.

[VukyTzar]

unfortunately even with combat animations on i dont se combat report... I really dont want to redo first turn again. I did clean install and problem is still here, I'll try start with clean save but I poured 45H in first turn and I dont want it to go to waste.

[VukyTzar]

same thing for happens when allies attack...

I see you had this same problem a year ago:

tm.asp?m=4073032

does it still occur after playing several turns in a row? or on 1st turn?

[VukyTzar]

Yeah I had similar problem but then I couldnt get any combat reports to show up ( I had full combat reports in report screen though) and I managed to solve it by reinstaling the game. That time I turned off combat reports and they simply didnt want to turn on. Oh I guess I'll have to redo the 1st turn on clean install this time [X(][:(] please if you have any ideas I would appreciate it.

P.S. why are combat reports hating me for years [8|]

edit-
I ran 5 turns and still no luck

[MakeeLearn]

This is similar:

tm.asp?m=4133105


what command line switches are you using?



the -dd_sw switch fixed Barb's reports

[geofflambert]

Here's what I use:

"C:\Matrix Games\War in the Pacific Admiral's Edition\War in the Pacific Admiral Edition.exe" -fd -altFont -px1920 -py1080 -archive -cpu1 -dd_sw -deepColor

[VukyTzar]

sorry for being noob but I dont know how to find those switches... are those ones on main menu; game options etc.?
