Initiative window post movement not recognizing Random

Post by castagnaro »

Windows 7 Home Premium SP1
HP Intel i5
NVIDIA GeForce 315 graphics

Playing Campaign as Confederate, Turn 7 after moving Artillery reserve the Initiative window pops up asking if I want Combat or Random. I click Random and the game hangs. m My assumption is with 2 selections, - Combat! or Random I should be able to select one of them. However the game will not proceed unless I select Combat.

Hi, do you still have the save game where it hangs?

No, I will restart and get to the same point. What are the steps I need to take to send you the saved game?

Also I should add I have the latest patch.

I find that Random usually needs two clicks to work.

There is an autosave that saves the game everytime you do something. You can find it in c:\Users\<user name>\AppData\LocalLow\Shenandoah Studio\Gettysburg_ The tide turns\
If you can get the autosave at the exact moment when you get the initiative popup and send it to support@slitherine.co.uk that would be sweet :). Thank you.

Well as luck has it I have played 2 campaigns since reporting this hang and although the issue still occurs, repeatedly clicking the Random button will advance the game which I read here that is what Ironclad has found.
Thank you for the info on where to find the save game, however I should have also mentioned that when selecting Save from the hung state the game informs me I can only Save during my turn. This appears to imply the game has recognized the random selection and is somewhere in the ether between my end of of turn and the computers turn.
