Bug in French mission 4 "Count d'Erlon's Attack?

Post by MrFlopster »

Hi,

Been enjoying the game up until this point. I'm playing the 4th French mission and my troops won't capture Haye Sainte. All enemy troops have left the area but my French troops refuse to enter the buildings and the objective marker remains grey. I've tried restarting the mission multiple times but this makes no difference. I didn't have this problem/bug capturing buildings in other missions such as Papelotte.

Anyone else get this, is it a bug or am I missing something?

Thanks in advance for any help/confirmation.

That has also been reported on the Matrix forums, we are looking into it.

That's very odd. The farm holds 1,000 troops, and I don't think any of your available units are over that.

Maybe you can grab a save game showing the problem? You can zip it up and email it to me and I'll take a look.

No worries, I was just answering your question on whether anyone else had encountered it.

Well that's weird, I've just tried to replicate the issue twice now and they've gone in just fine. Guess it's an intermittent bug? If or when it occurs again I will send a save game.

Keep up the good work.

Ive had the same problem good to know its not me. See attached file - look in court is it the lone riderless horse that wont let me take the place?

Played it over 6 times now. Yet to enter and I have captured the two objectives on the ridge but still couldnt march in there?

I will continue looking

Hmmmmm...

"Lone Riderless Horse" hints that an enemy officer Death sprite is clogging the works, preventing entry. But why would it and how do you kill an officer in a fort in the first place? Let the testing begin.

Yeah Pawsy I had a riderless horse very close to the building as well. Just can't seem to get the same set of circumstances again for a save game.
