I read my logs today, and they showed the following:

Apr 05 3336 Hawk Two dropped at Raven Blacks drop zone: 42 tons Gasoline, 125 units Military Supplies, 169 Special Forces Missiles, 1 Special Forces Unit, 2 Trucks

Apr 05 3336 Hawk Two dropped at Raven Blacks drop zone: 42 tons Gasoline, 125 units Military Supplies, 169 Special Forces Missiles, 1 Special Forces Unit, 2 Trucks

This double post in the logs happen for all SF units I airdrops. This is also true for Naval re-supply's (I cannot confirm for ground/air units). As I am not loosing twice expected amount of ammo for my fleets, I believe the warlogs are double posting some events. Logs on troop movements appear unaffected.

Country: Eagle on LU

Thanks in advance

every get an extra SF unit out of it? I think I may have, cause they end up named the same multiple times, but one seems to disappear from time to time as well.
the fleets repeat themselves for loading, unloading, and unloaded if I remember correct, but this one is effecting me as well. I also am not having unit respond correctly and other random items. are you getting more than just log errors?

and check to see if you lose or gain SF units, b/c I see a few extra in my empire than I thought I had. this maybe related.

This is on WG I speak of. so even different worlds.

My SF units have never replicated, I believe this problem to be limited to the logging of events.

When your units do not respond properly, is this when you move multiple units at once? Occasionally when I move multiple units to a single location, the location they move to is massively different to the place I clicked.

If I recall correctly, I moved perhaps 5 land divisions initially from there base in my main to a different country, but it to move 1000km north west of where i clicked. I used google chrome.

not always and not just limited to troop movement. Odd delays for months with supply units, properly supplied.

back to the multiple units thing, yes this is number 1 on that list. It says nothing at times, then thru trial and error, find you can still type a country name in and then it worked properly. I believe it was b/c they were in multiple countries and the game got lost on where to send you to when it opens up the map. of course some units are stubborn, even doing them one at a time... they would not move or respond.

These are what I call special occasion bugs, they just show up like a surprise party and on special circumstances.

If your having problems with it not saying move 21 units when moving from multiple countries, just try to move them using the side screen. It seems to be in air lift/ air drop mode, once I loaded up the destination it has 80% of time allowed me to move them even though it never prompted me to do

Sorry about the age it's taken for me to reply, long posts and little time do not go together.

I do not get many error messages, and not the ones your describing.

I believe here are our collective problems with the wargame at the moment.

1) Doubble posts of airdrop and supply logs.
2) Inacturate movement multiple of units on maps I agree zoom may be the cause.
3) Supply units delaying resupply of units, i believe until the month after supply's are required (due to unit damage)

Problems are for now all on chrome, 1) and 3) obviously aren't affected by browser, but I will attempt to repeat 2) on IE

Thanks for this message:

1. The two messages are coming from the two units.
The supply unit reporting what it has done
and the receiving unit too.
We do want them both to report or otherwise, the unit log of one of them will be incomplete.
We will change the message in the coming game update, to be clearer, showing where they come from.

2. When you use the map zoom which is part of the map interface, this will not happen. If you use the browser to zoom, there is a chance that it will. This is why we implemented several zoom levels for the maps. If your problem is not what I describe here, please let me know.

3. Is this is war time or not.
In war time, supply units are moving all the time and if there are sufficient materials, there are no delays. (unless you do not have a sufficient number of supply units).

In peace time, supply units do not move. The supply is done automatic

Thanks for the reply andy,I believe all issues I stated have been addressed. The supply issue is usually after a ~3 day war, so it in all likeliness is war damage (usually just loss of ammo) being repaired in peace time.

We are in search of more problems with units, air transport etc.
Any wel documented case is welcome as it helps us to solve any remaining bugs.
