[#3460][7.5 Bug] S-Class Bombard group fails to engage (Save)

Post by Scoob »

Hi,

Please examine this saved game. Please PAUSE upon loading.

In this save, you're a passenger on a Player-owned Colossus E Carrier, the leader of a small fleet. You will note that Eta Group (Bombard) - consisting of two Behemoth E's - is actively heading to engage a Xenon K. Perfect.

Gamma Group - consisting of twelve Eclipse Heavy Fighters - is also set to Bombard but also Docked (set prior to saving for this test). Setting them to "Launched" does NOT see them try to engage the Xenon K, despite the K being well under the typical 40km engagement range (circa 26km at loading). I let this scenario play out and Gamma Group never launched, allowing the K to destroy both Behemoth E's with relative ease.

Manually ordering Gamma Group to attack the K, sees them launch as expected, so they're not stuck in that regard.

Note: Seconds after loading the save, for me at least ALPHA Group (Intercept) Launches and immediately docks again, despite there being no valid targets. A little odd, I don't know if that's in any way relevant.

Note 2: This was reported during the final few hours of the Beta and might already have been addressed. However, I thought it worth raising officially here just in case.

Basically, as things stand currently, Fighters reporting to a Carrier in the Bombard role do not work at all for me. HOWEVER, Fighters in the Bombard role reporting to each of those Destroyers DO launch in the Bombard role the moment the Group is set to Launched. Try it, you'll see. So, this is a Carrier (or specific Carrier?) only issue.

Fix that was done towards the tail end of the beta that didn't make it out into public builds.
So @Lhyy the fix that was already done here applies to the case in Scoob's save, but you don't have a build with that fix yet. You should get it in a later build.

I see,but please fix my save bug quickly,it's very unfriendly to fleet combat,especially carrier.
