HUGE issue with the campaign generator

[pdoktar]

Now as I start the generate random campaign, pick the time and countries and go to purchase screen and start buying units I can�t delete them anymore after they hit the list. So if I buy A T-72 company and decide to take a platoon out of it, there�s a message that says: "can�t delete existing core formation". So if I want to reduce company size or delete unwanted or mis-clicked units, I can�t do it at all before the first battle. However when I finish my first generated campaign battle and go to the repair and expand core-screen, I can again delete these existing core-formations having only the question: "delete existing core formation? Y/N?".

And when I start a custom-made campaign, say the silver lions, I can delete the formations before the first battle simply by clicking and having the question: "delete existing core formation? Y/N?".

Also Battle generator works the way it used to, so only problem is generating a random campaign.

Is this meant to be in the game? I�ve never encountered this kind of problem before.

lets see - I tested this by going into the campains screen, generating a Soviet 1976 LC vs UK USA & CDN, and start buying PT-76 platoons and T-62 coys etc. Repeated a few times, with and without exiting the game.

It allows deletion of the platoons in the formation buy list, and in the main page (where the formation type buttons are shown) quite happily. Message "delete existing core formation Y/N" appears, and if you select Y, the platoon vanishes as expected.

This is on a Dell Dimension 5150, running XP Home.

It may be because your disk needs defragging and/or it has lost clusters and so forth that needs cleaning?.

What year, campaign nation and opponents, and what formations have you bought and tried to delete?. What operating system and PC details?. CD or DL version?. What nationality is the PC set for (on the off chance thet non KeybUK drivers cause problems - you never know with M$ !)

We need as much detail about this as you can give. We have had two other reports like this but neither Andy or I can reproduce it so the more detail the better so we can connect the dots

I also have the exact same problem as pdoktar.

I ran the same test as mobhack in the exact same years, and countries and it would not let me delete core formations saysing "cannont delete existing core formation!".

OK. Give us some details on the computer you are using. Are you running an intel or AMD chip? As I said, neither Andy nor I can reproduce this but obviously some people can so we need more info to try and figure out what the common thread is

I just tested it again using Soviet Sept 1988 LC vs UK USA & CDN. I bought some T-62 companies and a bunch of infantry companies. I deleted every other formation. I did this several times. No error messages or other issues.

This is for my Laptop.

HP Pavilion zv5200
XP Home Edition SP2
AMD athlon XP 3200 CPU
NVIDIA GeForce4 440 Go 64M
512.00 MB RAM

Since I have and AMD that probably rules that out.
