New alert function? Not working?

It doesn't seem to work or not like previous civ games

It fortifies the unit but automatically wakes it up if an enemy unit gets too close.
Does it only work when enemy is adjacent?

I started a new game last night after downloading the Winter patch, no mods.
I'm finding that my archers/ranged defence units are NOT waking up from "alert" when a barbarian or enemy comes within firing range.
It looks like others are reporting this problem on the Steam forums, although some people are saying that the new alert function is working.
Is anyone else finding that alert is not working for them?

Yeah, I have yet to see it activate. I'm not sure if I have misunderstood the condition of it, but I have been having enemy units moving in to the tile next to the unit on alert without waking up

I have observed barbarian scouts flitting about near an archer set to Alert without causing it to wake up. I would have to say that it doesn't work.

My archers are not waking when barbarians approach. Hopefully we will get a hot fix otherwise it's a long wait until the "Spring Patch"

I've corrected the patch notes:
"Added “Alert” button for units (actual function to be added later)
"Added “Alert” button for units (actual function to be added later)
- Put a unit to sleep until they spot an enemy unit and stay asleep."

It worked for scout units, but that's all.

Maybe they forgot to program barbarians as "enemy units" or something? It is truly amazing -- it is like someone burned the source code from Civ V and they are starting from scratch -- how bizarre.

Just tested. My warrior did not wake up when a barbarian unit moved adjacent to it. It also did not wake up after a barbarian slinger attacked it, and then when a barbarian warrior attacked it. Doesn't work.
The release of this game has been pretty insulting.

I think that this is the problem. In a war with another Civ my "alert" archers are activating.
I can't believe that barbs are excluded?!?

So for SOME people the alert function WORKS, for others SOMETIMES, and for some (like me) it DOES NOT WORK AT ALL.
So our computers have already developed a mind of their own and decide which users belong to the chosen ones who get to use the alert function?

Not working for me, so far. Maybe the code is still in alert mode and waiting for a bug to get close enough to wake it up.
