What happened to my Bf 109F-4s?

Post by GPT55 »

My Bf109F-4s seem to have stopped production on turn 22. Also, various screens (including Production--see attached picture) now show a blank where the name "Bf109F-4" should be. Actually the name disappeared on about turn 17 but production continued for a few turns. The Built column has shown 308 from turn 22 (on turn 31 now). Can this be fixed?

What version and scenario are you playing?

I just checked mine on T25 and all is well.
Molotov : This we did not deserve.

Foch : This is not peace. This is a 20 year armistice.

Do you have a save from before and after ?
Is that a single- or multi-player game? If the latter is your opponent on the same patch level ?

Yes I haves saves. I'm going to send 4 files if I can:

Turn 17: That last normal turn (based on production screen).
Turn 18: First turn the name "Bf 109F-4" disappeared.
Turn 26: Last turn of Bf109F-4 production.
Turn 27: First turn with no production.

Thanks for looking at this.

It seems to me the name has been replaced with a blank space - but the fighter groups are still there and flying normally, being produced and fighting. So it a presentational error only. My guess is an accidental deletion or copy over of the aircraft name in the cell in the scenario data?

If so it will not change anything in game play - so long as you remember those fighter air groups missing out the name of the aircraft are just Bf109F4s.

For example here stab and III JG 77 are in fact Bf109F4

Sadly this seems to be one of the memory corruption bugs that I cannot replicate, so I'm unable to fix it. I can only shed some light on factories disappearing. It seems opening production screen will remove factories for ground elements and aircraft that have no name. But what caused the name of that single aircraft to disappear (all other data is intact) - I really don't know [:(]

Morvael, as a programmer myself I understand how difficult it can be to track down such occasional bugs.

Telemecus, not just a presentation error because starting on turn 27 production ceased and I see the factories have disappeared, so I assume the factories won't upgrade, and it looks to me like I won't get any fighter production until the Bf 109G-14/AS start production in July 1944 (it's March 1942 now).

2800 minutes of game running from IDE to catch possible bugs - no bugs.
225 turns of AI vs AI campaign - no bugs.
I'm starting to think it must be something triggered by the player, so it will be hard to find for me, but if someone of you will provide a recipe to replicate it - it should be very easy to fix.
