Hi all,

Thanks so much for a great game! :)

Hey, I've noticed something that happens occasionally.

First off, my playstyle (in case that matters). I usually play one of the maps in skirmish mode, against beginner AIs. Yes, I like to turtle.

What happens is that an opponent engineer gets trapped with some debris. I can't attack the engineer. For some reason, I can have my equipment target the last engineer (it's usually the last thing on the field), but they will not attack.

I have to send one of my engineers to recover the debris. Once it is cleared, the units will destroy that last engineer.

I typically discover this situation once I have destroyed all targets, but the game doesn't end. Then I have to search for that one engineer that got through my net.

Thanks again to all the developers, etc.

Could you post a link to a replay where that happens? If you play in an online private lobby you should get your games as replays.

Wrecks block shots, but usually you should be able to counter that by using indirect fire units which can lob their shells over the debris. A different problem is if the enemy unit gets stuck inside of the collision volume of a wreck and can't be attacked from any angle.

Hi and thanks.

I just play single player. I have never done 'replay' so I don't know what you need.

In the game go to Multiplayer->Battle List and then click "Host Game" at the top of the list. Set a password and you can play on your own as if it was a single player game. Once the battle ends, you will see a link to a replay in the chat. Post that replay link here. That's the easiest way for us to see what happened.

KK I'll post the link here when it happens next.
Thanks!

Anyway, a feature that may/may not help you is the ability to fire at ground. If you press F for Forcefire and then hold Alt as you left click on a point, your click will ignore enemy units and attack the ground directly. Often units will fire at the ground and attack the wreck blocking the last enemy constructor, and they can destroy the wreck to have a clear shot on the last unit. Other units with AOE attacks will also be able to hit an enemy through the wreck with their explosions.

Hi guys,

Well, OK. I have been using the hosted mode for my single player games. I'm going to guess that I have played some 30+ games and I have not seen the issue.

I will continue to use the hosted mode, unless you want me to do something differently to try to find this bug again.

Thanks for the help!
