* Known Harpoon [ANW] Issues

[Herman Hum]

Here is a partial list of known 'Bugs' for Harpoon [Advanced Naval Warfare]. Not all the behaviours described below are 'bugs'. Some are simply an explanation of how the game or scenario editor works. Anomalies were reported by many various Harpoon players.

If anyone believes that a particular bug has been fixed or is in error, please feel free to notify GameSquad so that this list can be amended. This first message is the list of Current Issues is updated on a regular basis.

Please note: This list is not meant as criticism of an excellent and enjoyable game. The sole purpose of this list is to inform players of currently known issues.

ONLY BUG/ISSUE POSTS WILL BE ADDED TO THIS THREAD - ANYTHING ELSE WILL BE DELETED!!! - IR

AAA fire

AAA guns are not limited by the altitude of the target and can even shoot down satellites.

Automatic contact classification

The true type classification of a contact is automatically revealed when it is designated hostile by the hotkey.

Group Nav Zone Settings

The Nav Zone settings for a Group are not adopted by the individual units forming that Group. i.e. If you order a TF to avoid Ship Threat Zone [A], the Group icon will avoid the Threat Zone but the individual ships of the Group will sail into the Threat Zone.

Work-around solution: Set the Nav Zone parameters for each unit individually.

Identification failure

Sometimes, when you hit the Database button for a unit, only one possible identity is shown but the unit display will still describe it as Unknown.

Subs in groups

Subs joined with groups are automatically assigned a formation patrol zone on the ASW axis that cannot be changed or modified.

Hangar overload

It is possible to land many more aircraft than the hangar capacity allows.

AI inside Minimum Launch Range (http://tinyurl.com/3bw5ym)

If an AI unit finds itself inside the Minimum Launch Range of its weapons, it is unable to move away in order to fire its weapons.

MAD contact for ground facilities

The MAD detector is able to detect ground facilities.

Sonobuoy battery endurance

Battery endurance for sonobuoys is irrelevant.

ARMs cause planes to hang

Aircraft armed with Anti-Radiation Missiles and bombs will continue to hang over a target once the bombs are released if they have not fired their ARMs. This will occur even if ARMs cannot be fired at the target in question.

In light of our shipping H3 ANW we are rolling up the public carpet on our bug tracking system.

If you like finding and reproducing bugs we invite you to write us with saved games and a description of how you discovered a bug.

If you do it well - you'll be invited to join the new Harpoon 3 ANW Beta team.

Yes, since we have a long history of providing free updates, we have an ongoing need for testers. With a major release we bring new folks on and say good bye to the folks who didn't participate or want to do something new.

[Herman Hum]

These are behaviours acknowledged by AGSI, but they will not be 'fixed' as they are not deemed 'Bugs'. They have been listed here for the edification of players.

Aircraft destroyed

Aircraft destroyed on the ground/ship often do not get counted into Victory Conditions. This only occurs in the Scenario Editor. The function works properly in the Game Engine.

Initial sub depths

Sub units inserted with the SE start at -100m regardless of the local conditions. Once the game starts, the Game Engine enforces Depth constraints.

Ships sail over land

Ships are sometimes able to sail over land. Scenarios constructed with the SE 3.6.3 can exhibit this anomaly when run in the ANW engine.

Planes directly inserted

Icons for planes directly inserted into a scenario may not re-build properly. A unit that was previously a helicopter but is changed to a plane in the database will still appear as a helicopter.

Firing arcs ignored

Weapon arcs are ignored and all weapons may be brought to bear.

Heat-seeking AAMs engage from front aspect; Stern-Chase flag ignored

Heat-seeking AAMs will engage from the forward aspect. The "Stern-Chase" flag in the database is ignored

At the request of AGSI, data from the Mantis system has been removed.




Previous issues regarded as fixed by Patch 3.8.0

Aircraft ignore Nav Zones

Some aircraft on missions are able to fly through Nav Zones.

Work-around solution: Draw a double-thick Nav zone or draw an additional Nav Zone just inside another Nav Zone.

Circling torpedoes

Torpedoes destroy their launching platform. Sometimes this causes a problem for the Victory Condition manager.

LongMathError

GE crashes when doing complex calculations involving units moving at high speed. This is due to the integer math system. Problem appears to be most often encountered when SLBMs launched. ICBMs seem to be okay.

Time Zones

Night and day are reversed so that daytime is actually 1801 to 0559. The H3 world revolves in the opposite direction to real life when calculating Time Zones. Game time is listed in terms of Zulu (GMT). If the scenario is one time zone East of GMT, you would normally ADD one hour to Zulu time to find the local time. However, H3 SUBTRACTS one hour instead.

Fixed ranges for bombs

Maximum range for bombs is fixed at 2nm regardless of the range a database editor may assign.

Plane revert to cruise speed

Individual planes always return to cruise speed after they are given new paths. This does not occur for groups.

Orders disappear

Orders for remaining side disappear when other sides are deleted

Protect Station ViCond reverts to On Station ViCond

"Protect Station" ViCond switches to "On Station" ViCond

SSK do not snort

When a diesel submarine runs out of battery charge, it does not automatically rise to periscope depth to begin re-charging its batteries. Instead, it just sits at the last known depth. Also, even if a player manually orders it to periscope depth, the re-charge process does not work unless the submarine is moving.

Edit Aircraft function does not respect Time / Country restrictions

When Time / Country restrictions are activated by the Launcher, Edit Aircraft function does not respect them when used to add aircraft to facilities. Aircraft directly inserted into a scenario function properly.

Akula at Flank gets passive contact

Akula at Flank is able to get passive contact

E-3 lands and goes to 1092min ready

E-3 lands and goes to 1092min ready time.

CTD when torpedo fired

CTD experienced when BOL torpedo fired from SSN Spartan in Power Sweep scenario run from a server.

Ferry mission fails to execute

Ferry mission fails to execute. If user runs in ScenEdit and orders planes to launch, they mission executes properly.

CTD when Air Station destroyed

CTD when Air Station is destroyed by ALCM.

Sensors won't turn off Intermittent

After sensors have been turned on Intermittent setting, it is not possible to change their setting in the future. Even if a player turns them either on or off, the Intermittent setting returns. Apparently, this is only problematic for multi-player games and does not present itself in solitaire games.

Jamming detected underwater

Submerged units can detect ships emitting ECM.

ViCond polygons don't appear

Only the polygon for the first ViCond appears even when other ViConds are selected.

Missiles ignore cruise altitude

Missiles fired at ground targets ignore the cruise altitude specified in the Database. These same missiles will fly at the proper cruise altitude when fired at ships.

Accuracy / Speed slider affects game execution

Different settings for the game speed / accuracy slider will cause scenarios to execute in a wholly different manner. Missions may execute on one setting but will fail on another speed setting.

Accuracy / Speed slider crashes game

Different settings for the game speed / accuracy slider will cause some scenarios to crash.

Planes disappear from base

After launching and landing, planes disappear from the base.

Recon mission does not work for AI

Recon Mission works for player, but does not work under AI control.

Postures incorrectly re-built

Postures are incorrectly re-estabilished once a unit has been destroyed.

Weapon ranges less than one ignored

Any weapon that has a range less than 1.0 nm, cannot be fired by the AI. However, the player is able to utilize these weapons manually and they appear to operate at the correct range. I do not know if missions created by the player will suffer this restriction, but I suspect that they will since Missions are under AI control.

Strike mission fails to execute

Enemy Unit appears not to be able to plot an intercept path.

ESM at 1800nm

Radar can be detected by ESM at a range of 1800nm. Radar in Europe (Spain) can nearly be detected in N. America.

AC Stuck on Plotted mission

Aircraft on Plotted mission cannot be removed from this mission in Mission Editor

Multi-Player Chat Window appears in solitaire game

After victory has been awarded to a player in solitaire mode, if the player elects to continue, a Multi-Player Chat Window opens when he selects "Yes".

EmCon at Waypoints

Aircraft will obey waypoint EmCon commands if the plane is currently either ACTIVE or PASSIVE (not intermittent). Once the aircraft receives a command to radiate Intermittently, either at the start or at a waypoint, no other EmCon commands will be accepted at future waypoints.

Naval Ground Strike Mission

Ships that are grouped together and on a ground strike mission will fire missiles, but will not close on the target to engage with naval gunfire.

Work-around solution: This only applies to ASuW Area Patrol missions. Missiles will launch on strike missions.

Non-radiating units show as being jammed.

Units that turn off their radar can still show up as being jammed with the "X" next to their icon.

NAV zone ignored II

Aircraft on strike mission flies right through an Aircraft NAV restriction zone. This is not the same as the NAV zone bug reported here.

Unit cannot plot course

Unit is unable to plot a course that enables it to leave port and proceed to Formation patrol zone.

ViConds evaluate erratically

Damage ViCond evaluates improperly. Units selected by either Sub-Type, Class, or Specific Unit do not count in the ViCond when destroyed. This most often happens when units are destroyed at nearly the same time.

Work-around solution: When units are destroyed individually, the ViCond appears to function properly.


Run any of the files in "Damage ViCond triggers [PDb 3.6.3]" with 3.6.3 GE and PlayersDB to see that ViCond works properly and establish baseline.
Destroy the three ships that appear in a single volley of 4x Mk48 torpedoes. If necessary, repeat volley.
Check ViCond to ensure that it has triggered.


Run same files and same tests in 3.7 ANW GE.
ViCond will fail


When targets are destroyed one at a time, the ViCond appears to function properly. However, this was not exhaustively tested.

Additional Information:

Sample files have been made with ANW SE and with ODb. "[ODb] Damage ViCond fails"

[Nimrodat20]

Has the user interface been updated?

Weapon ignores range limitation

Weapon sometimes ignores range limitation and fires on targets outside of the range set by the Database. This can sometimes result in guns hitting targets 100s of miles away. Often, it occurs when the target is vaguely detected.

Run test scen in SE with Show all from the side of the minesweepers.
Minesweepers will approach two mines.
Red ASuW Range circle of 1nm radius is around each mine.
While the minesweepers are still quite distant (usu. 5nm), the ASuW range circles around the mines will disappear. They have fired.
If you run the test scen a few times, one of the minesweepers will be hit. This is not every time.
The ships should not be engaged outside of maximum range of the weapons.

SSK do not snort

When a diesel submarine runs out of battery charge, it does not automatically rise to periscope depth to begin re-charging its batteries. Instead, it just sits at the last known depth.

CTD when torpedo fired

CTD experienced when BOL torpedo fired from SSN Spartan in Power Sweep scenario run from a server.

Steps to repeat:

1) Run Power Sweep from NATO side either as MP or SP from the server.
2) Fire BOL torpedo from SSN Spartan
3) CTD with Invalid Point Error

Note: We've played this scen over 20 times in 3.7.0 with no problems.

[EDIT] Second Error message trapped

[Herman Hum]

CTD when Database button is depressed

When playing Multi-player games, scenarios will sometimes crash to the desktop when the Database button has been depressed.

This has happened predominantly with PlayersDB (http://www.strategyzoneonline.com/forums/downloads.php?do=cat&id=119) scens since they are the ones most commonly played. At first, it was suspected that this was caused by an improperly installed version of the PlayersDB (http://www.strategyzoneonline.com/forums/downloads.php?do=cat&id=119) since this is exactly what happens when the Database button is depressed with an incorrectly installed PlayersDB (http://www.strategyzoneonline.com/forums/downloads.php?do=cat&id=119) in solitaire mode. However, this has proven not to be the case after players double-checked their installations to find all Text files in their proper place within the Text sub-folder and the PlayersDB (http://www.strategyzoneonline.com/forums/downloads.php?do=cat&id=119) fully functional in solitaire mode. The files were also properly installed to the server.

Also, after a CTD and players return to the MP Lobby to re-start the exact same scenario, when they repeat the exact same procedure, it does not always cause a second CTD. In once instance it did, in another instance, the scenario started and ran without a problem only to crash later when the database button was depressed later in the game.

[Edit] With the Patch 3.9.0 release, this issue no longer results in CTD. However, it is still erroneous.

Instead of CTD, message displayed is:

Unable to locate Ship text file for platform #XXX

This is also problematic for solitaire play. Game is looking for text messages in the wrong place even though the text files are installed properly within the database Text folder.

Possibly just grabbed for an auto air patrol?

[Herman Hum]

The sentiment is appreciated but that is an impossibility since there are no formations whatsoever in the test scen. :D

However, I did find out where they disappeared to. Evidently they were 'destroyed'. No idea how they ended up destroyed. All they did was launch, fire, and (supposedly) return to base. Nothing capable shooting them down or preventing them from landing.

Mission fails to navigate without Full throttle setting

Aircraft without a "Full speed" throttle setting in the database are fully functional under manual control, but are unable to calculate a path to their targets under AI control.

1. Run test scen. Two flights of Backfires will loiter over base unable to plot a path to the target.

NOTE: This could be resolved by having all DB editors ensure that every platform has a full range of throttle settings. However, I believe that this is an improper solution as the strike platform should plot the intercept path according to its maximum speed whether it is Creep, Cruise, Full, or Flank.

Postures incorrectly re-built

Postures are incorrectly re-estabilished once a unit has been destroyed.

Three sides are in this test scenario: Attacker (Danish Airlift side), Target (French Target), and Link side (Denmark). The postures are as follows:

1) Attacker side is hostile to Target side
2) Link side is friendly to both Attacker and Target sides. (This posture prevents Attacker from launching strike on Target.)

In Harpoon v3.6.3 and in ANW v3.7.0, once the Link side is destroyed, the Attacker side is freed to launch airstrike at Target.

However, this is not the case with the Beta 3.7.1 patch. Once the link side is destroyed, the GE acts as though the link is still functional even though there are no remaining units on the Link side. The postures are re-build incorrectly and dysfunctionally.

Steps to re-create:

1) Run [PDb] Postures incorrectly re-built (3.7.1).SCN in ANW SE 3.7.0 from the Belgian side
2) Activate show all.
3) After C-130s destroy Link target, air strike will launch on French Target at 02:15 of game time.

4) Re-run test scen in ANW SE 3.7.1
5) After C-130s destroy Link target, no air strikes appear. Further investigate will show that even though one side is hostile to another, attacks are not allowed.

All strikers fail to launch

All aircraft assigned to a strike mission fail to launch.

1. Run test scen in ANW SE 3.7.1 from the French Target side with Show All activated
2. At 02:15 of game time, 32 aircraft have been assigned to launch strike from Denmark. However, only 24 actually launch.

It is uncertain why the AI fails to launch all strike assets, but one hypothesis is that the AI has decided that 24 aircraft are sufficient to destroy the targets and will not launch extraneous assets. This is improper behaviour. The designer may anticipate heavy losses during ingress and thereby want additional assets assigned to the mission.

[FreekS]

All,

Herman and I have been working on this together. I first noticed that in 3.7.1 my 3rd scenario in Matchplay (special ops) would not function. I have used this method to delay conflict between sides through a link in many scenarios and so have other authors (SpecOps, Arctic, Persian, ....).

The test scen basically is a stripped down version of the Special Ops scenario to show the problem.

More scens for 3.7 ANW ARE underway, but progress is slow as testing for each GE/SE version takes a LOT of time.

Hope you can discover what changed from 3.7.0. to 3.7.1.

Yes, only part of the two strikes assigned to the target actually launch. I think each strike has 16 aircraft assigned to it.

No. The game starts at 23:00. The strikes are set for launch at 3:15 delay into the game. Therefore, they launch at 02:15 on the game clock.
