So as I was advised by ground fire I am starting a thread here.
I get a scar error every time when 88 setup starts so game just freezes for everyone, its a new thing, because played tons of games this week and it was fine, but sudenly today it happened 3 times in row, sadly but I cant provinde replay, but here is my doctrine selection:

[LeoPhone]

did you place them down before 5 mins into the game?

[KingTigerLT]

Yea, I start with an 88, is that a problem?

[LeoPhone]

try to build it after the timer has passed 5 mins. see if it scars then.

[KingTigerLT]

Ok, but whats the problem with 5 mins time? why this bug started? I havent change anything

[Hicks58]

Funny, in every match I've played against an 88 start, me or a teammate has got to the 88 before it could finish deploying.

Was wondering why I hadn't stumbled on this yet. xD

[EIRRMod]

Screen shot of the scar would be really useful btw guys....

Why doesnt anyone do this anymore?

[Hicks58]

Personally, because I've never had the misfortune to stumble into a scar error lol.

why are you posting the trac website publically? i thought that was supposed to be internal, now everyone who sees this thread can see what you guys r up to including stuff that's not even in the game yet.

mmmmmm bookmarked

if it needs to be hidden why can anyone see it without logging in??

[KingTigerLT]

I have noticed that yesterday my start in calling was 2x flame pios, mg, bike flak, officer, shreksquad. and today I wanted to test something new, changing bike with a halftruck and my start up was like this:
 mg shrek and flame pio in a half truck + another flame pio, oficer, and a flak
So this was the only change betwen yesterday and today.
I run a test 1x1 game when I gone back to my first start up and boom everything went fine.

i dont know if it does, i'm just asking why.

It's not like it was a known site but meh, not my problem. If its supposed to be public so be it, I just said i thought it was only supposed to be internal, not that it should be.

looking at a screenshot of the scar error provided on trac it seems that the halftrack may be trying to tow the 88 crew onto the field. like a normal infantry squad since that's what the 88 truck is doing. someone try to bring on a howitzer with a m3 ht

Tracs has never been considered hidden. The plan was to have it so everyone could see what we are working on. Unfortunately, we all think it sucks except EiRRMod.......lol

All game design and balance discussion are discussed in the forums. The conclusion of those discussions are then posted in Tracs for implementation. But in a lot of cases, it takes more time to log into Tracs and post a ticket than it does just to make the change.
It works well for EiRRMod because he does nto spend a lot of time int he forums and his coding work is very different to the work everyone else is doing.

Bottom line: works good for EiRRMod, sucks for everyone else.

okay, not an issue but as far as I know it was never posted live. If it's supposed to be viewable by the public, then sticky a link.

LOL wtf does that even mean?

Honestly you guys should make it "Public" like Bay12Games Bug tracker but take 2-3 moderators ( should be enough of them around that are willing to do that <---hint hint)    and make them add bugs and the mods would just sift trough the logs and post them to a list that the mods can go trough.
honestly I don't get it why using trac is so bad compared of going trough a forum finding them in posts.

When and if we ever start using Tracs as a true organizational tool, then yes, it will be publicly posted. Until then it really doesn't present anything worth while looking at. As you can see by nugnug's childish posts already, it is not a great tool for what we had hoped it would be.

So feel free to browse it if you want, but it really does not present what we are working on at all. In fact, there is 1 ticket for Leo, 3 tickets that Tym never completed (or closed ) and the rest is pretty much EiRRMod's "To Do List"
