Hallo.

I have 2 problems with PTW. 1st my artillery will not do auto-bombard on towns. The 2nd and more annoying is when I try to set an auto bombard with a bomber + if it gets shot down at the same time the game crashes and turns itself off. I’ve got the 1.21f patch.

Can anyone help.

Cheers.

I've figured out why the artillary sometimes won't autobombard. It seems to be that they are on sentry mode and if any enemy units touches them they stop what they were doing and you have to set them to autobombard again. But the bomber problem is still driving me mad.

Yep, there's an option in Preferences for your units automatically waking when next to foreign units. So you can't auto-bombard using artillery with a range of 1. Pretty stupid of Firaxis, IMO

Excellent thak you, it was driving me mad.

But what about the game crashing when you're setting a bomber to auto-bombard and it gets shot down at the same time. Have you ever had that happen.

Same problem

Bomber gets shot down on Autobomb, game crashes.

Every time it happens, happens to me on different systems, with different patches.

I can replicate this 100%.

So, why isnt it fixed yet?:mad:

Hi,

First post, but same problem. I installed the new UK patch for PTW, and any time a bomber is shot down the game crashes.

This happened to me when a basic fighter unit shot down one of my Stealth bombers.

Re-assuring to know that this has been experienced by others (not an isolated problem), but doesn't make it less annoying!

Thanks

I *believe* I read somewhere that this is fixed in the forthcoming patch for PTW. If search was enabled, I could find the thread that mentioned this.
