Required Information in all Technical Support Requests

Please ensure that you provide the following information for all questions posted in this Technical Support forum.
  • Version and language (e.g. 8.00 Hotfix 3, English, etc.).
  • Whether or not your game is modified using any third party scripts or mods (see note below).
  • The game start you originally selected for the game in which the problem occurred.
  • Exact nature of the problem, where and when it occurs and what you were doing at the time.
  • Any possibly relevant changes you have made to your game, system, or software before the issue occurred.
  • Where appropriate, additional symptoms, error messages, links to saves, screenshots and crash dump files (see this Wiki entry).
  • Your system specifications in the form of a DxDiag report and vulkaninfo (see this Wiki entry).
Failure to provide all this information will make it pretty much impossible for people to help you and may mean that it takes longer for your problem to be identified and hopefully solved. So please don't waste your own time and everyone else's by just posting something like "My game freezes. Help!!!".

If you are supplying information that will not conveniently fit into posts in this forum (approx 70,000 character limit per post), in the worst case you can split long text files across 2 consecutive posts, or ideally you can upload the data to a reputable public fileshare site (a few examples are Google Drive, DropBox or PasteBin, etc) but please don't use sites that spam advertising or require registration for downloads. Please use in your post the open public sharing link to your file(s) that will not require any account or registration for others to download.

Note: Support for third party modifications must be provided by the authors of those modifications, and any requests for such support should be posted in the appropriate thread in the Scripts and Modding forum.

9.0 BUG Ships sometimes don't use main weapons, even in high attention

Post by ZombyeLurks »

This appears to be a distinct issue from my previous report, even though both prevent ships from using their main weapons.

Save: https://drive.google.com/file/d/1vcSOdr ... drive_link

I have assigned a fleet to defend the gate from Matrix #598 in Zyarth's Dominion I, using the Defend Position behavior on the fleet's lead ship (a Shark). On occasion I check on the area using the map, and this time I noticed the destroyers in the fleet severely under-performing against a single K, clearly not using their main weapons. Assuming this was simply another instance of the issue I previously reported, I teleported to the fleet expecting this would make the destroyers begin using their main weapons and quickly eliminate the lone K, but found that they still did not use their main weapons. The linked save is an autosave produced when I teleported to the fleet.

It seems that if any of the destroyers are given any new order interrupting execution of their current attack order, including a new attack order for the same target, they will be able to use their main weapons again. Simply interrupting the attack order does not work for the issue in my previous report, though I did discover some more information about it while testing this, which I'll add in a reply to its thread.

Fix on the way. Thanks for the report and the save. You should get the fix in a future update.
