FoTS bugs which most frustrate you?

**Pariya** · May 08, 2012, 07:04 AM

We all know about the shuffle bug. What other bugs frustrate you the most though? And what do you do to fix these bugs once you discover them?

Just this morning i played 6 games. In each of those 6 games i had one of these other bugs which i notice are quite frequent:

1.) (Edit) Not a bug. Solved.

2.) Retainers not working in the battle.
Temporary Fix: Nothing you can do to fix it in the battle. After the game remove your retainers and put them back in.

3.) Units not firing. I specifically i encounter this bug most often with Imperial Cavalry. This is not the shuffle bug, there is no shuffling they just won't fire.
Temporary fix: Disable fire at will, then turn fire at will back on.

4.) Shuffle bug. Units shuffle around and will not fire.
Temporary fix: Order the unit to a new location.

So what bugs have you encountered most often and how do you solve them during or after the battle?

1.) Just to double check you are sure it wasn't missile cav?

Well... you just solved #1 for me. I assumed cavalry capture would work the same for missile cavalry but apparently it's only melee cavalry.

I nearly lost a match because of it. Later on I found out in the skill description about the cav having to be melee to be able to capture while mounted.

Yodabless.

Retainers not working seems to be a common problem for me. Seriously annoying!
Clicking fire orders and having your units endlessly reposition is annoying too (but not really a bug).

3 and 4. So irritating when you get fired upon by a unit directly in front of you and your units do nothing even when they have perfectly fine LoS.

3 for sure. Worst part is you don't know it's happening until they've stood there and have gracefully eaten a volley or two when you realize the bug has gotten you.

Had it happen with some of my bear infantry a couple of times. Clicking the Fire at will button on and off about 5 times fixed it.

I got so tired of line randomly not shooting i gave up on the game. Sure i can spend 1750 koku on an infanterie de marine but whats the point if it randomly decides it would rather stand around than shoot at enemies.

And yes retainers not working is annoying as well. 18 months no fix FTW.

They're marines just tell them to drop their weapons and take that God Damned hill with tooth and nail. They should happily do it to the last.

But yeah it's a terrible bug.

All three still remaining inn the game. Is there any way to get this message to CA?

Oh they know, they just dont really care about multiplayer.

The achievement most people have for multiplayer is "Spreading like wildfire", which only 16% of the people who own shogun 2 have.
Only 4.8% of people played enough avatar campaign to get a veteran unit to 4 chevrons.
And 25 matchmade games in MP? 2.3%

With the complete lack of interest in dedicated MP players (Only 0.7% of the playerbase played 100+ MM games) CA just cant be bothered im guessing.

Yes, I can guess that, TW is a SP series, yada yada, but they fixed cav bug so they care, I will give them that. Obliviously MP bug fixing team small and busy, but if we can get message to them - they fix things.

On the side note, quantity and quality are in strange relation: most(from what I can see) of youtube TW casters are active MP players, and that is the people who have some public attention.
