17.1 Middle East Update Log for 1.01 (due mid-December 2015)
17.1.1 FIXES
• Under any FOW setting, in any context, enemy Morale does not display (is shown as "?"). Enemy Morale only displays if FOW is unselected.
• In the game engine (only), implemented Options > Auto Scroll. (Was there previously in the scenario & map editors, but not in the game engine.)
• With a unit selected, hitting the F3 hot key (etc.) opens the Unit Viewer directly on the info page for that unit. (Before, it would just open on a blank page, and you would have to hunt for the unit.)
• Fixed a bug where, in the Unit Viewer, for nation IDs < 10, the selected unit would not display.
• For on-counter unit stats, fixed an issue where the Morale stat was not displaying properly.
• Under ExtFOW, the Damage Report now displays much, but not quite all, of the info that a non FOW Damage Report would.
• Fixed a questionable design decision where, under ExtFOW, the Display Disrupted highlight was not highlighting friendlies. Under ExtFOW, enemy disrupts still remain unhighlighted.
• Removed the multi-saves warning. (A useless, and otherwise offensive, anti-cheat measure.)
• Fixed a number of bugs involving helos and movement, assaults, overflies, etc.
• Fixed the OBA crash bug.
• Fixed a possible crash bug in PBEM play.
• Fixed a bug where helos overflying unknown enemy units would vanish.
• Fixed a 3D crash bug involving assaults and overflying helos.
• Fixed a bug where air strikes were without limit.
• Fixed a bug where the edorg Append feature was broken.
• Fixed a bug where in 2D, WR, IP etc. markers would display over any Unknown Unit icon.
• Fixed a bug where the game engine was failing to remember and restore the preferred Options > Graphical Icons setting from session to session.
• Fixed a bug where the Infobox Counters setting was not being saved.
• Fixed a bug where phantom IF crosshairs (in the case of drifting) were not being cleared.
• Did some code optimizations to mitigate the effects, with Counter Stats toggled ON, of slow scrolling (on some systems only).
• Prevented possible scenario title text overrun in the Status > Scenario Information dialog. Also, fixed text overruns and other issues in the F2 Unit Handbook display.
• AutoSave AP’s for Firing OFF by default.
• Added missing background music files
• Revised the NATO Symbols sheet with White Background modification
• In various dialogs, clicking Help no longer summons the now non-existent Windows Help, rather the game Manual.

• Added Alternate 3D Base modification
• Cosmetic tweaks to several frontend displays.
• Added many more diagnostic logreturn() calls.
• Implemented a new, multi-tiered logging scheme, where the depth and verbosity of logging are specified at the EXE command line.
