both time : Negative Sadly.

Atm its all in WIP and search phase. And as said: I or Relic never promised that there will be a solution for it. But atm we are looking into it again and try if we can find something, which would be fixable with our tools.

I have been doing some testing for this bug on Vilshanka and had this scenario happen:



If I select unit #1, then select #2 or #3 there will be no menu for #2 or #3. If I select any other unit, then select #2 or #3, they have menus.

Hope this helps some one figure out the issue.

And also may help some one the next time they get the bug, try selecting different units then back to the missing menu unit. However, it did not fix the menu bug. The unit was always bugged if I selected #1 first.

Think of it as another level of micro. So it a feature now

But twice now I have had the bug and could always get it if I selected the same units in the same order. Selected in a different order and the menus were correct.

I am still testing but so far:
1) I took the live map files, did not change anything, did not press SAVE, and recompiled it. Got the UI bug.
2) If I change the scenario name and then recompile, I do not get any UI bugs.
3) Changed the scenario name back to original ID string and recompiled. No UI bugs.

I need to test the LIVE compile files vs unchanged files.

LIVE files renamed and compiled creates four major file differences:
- SCENARIOMARKER
- SBG
- _LAO.DDS
- _TDM.DDS

I used HxD HEX EDITOR to compare files at the byte level. The differences were large.


So saving the files in the worldbuilder seems to fix what ever errors exist in those four files.

No SCAR code changes were found. And as we have seen in Lienne Forest, the SCAR code was not changed but the bug was introduced. So it looks like the binary map files are getting bugged at some point.

More testing to come...
