need track replay Old Problem has returned - Bridges Stopping Vehicles again!

[Hawkeye_UK]

ED,

 

Has anthing changed in the last patch or two with reference to either pathfinding or the bridge template.

 

On caucasus map and in general units are getting stuck on bridges again stopping whole convoys and creating choas.

 

What has changed, this has suddenly got alot worse and is it just me but are some of the bridge objects used new?

 

Pictures to show problem , not coordinates for location (North of Tuapse).

 

AS you can see the tanks are getting stuck inside the bridges and is this a new style bridge with the walkways either side of it?  Please can we just use a simple template that works that the tanks will drive over rather than mounting the kerb and getting stuck - it is very frustrating.

Bump 04/04/21 - Can anyone from ED confirm what is going on - after another 5 days of review this is causing chaos for ground units. 

 

Being reported now by numerous tac commanders on our server, this issue must also be affecting SP campaigns.

 

Can we clarify if by accident we have reverted to some old code as this used to be a huge problem, or indeed is the bridge template been changed recently.

 

Someting however is very different in the last month or two.

Hawkeye,

 

Maybe they added a weight restriction to certain bridges? Have you tried moving trucks or APC's across the bridge in the picture. You could see if the armor will cross bigger bridges?

[Hawkeye_UK]

These are on the main MSR, its a good point in real world obviously however the ones in game tend to be the reinforced large concreate bridges with the walkways either side.

 

Im pretty confident ED are not at the stage of weight restrictions on bridges at this stage however so i think we are in the clear on that one.

Please add a short track replay showing the example, 

 

We need to check the specific circumstance and the best way is with a track replay.

 

thank you

Damn - sorry Big newy totally missed your reply, annoying as just come in here to post a Bump note!

 

The track files from our MP are way too big so i have them disabled (can be 300mb +) .  What i would say is set any convoys moving, take the road north from Tuapse to Makob for example and see how many tanks get stuck.  Its a newish problem, last few patches, but it was an issued about 12 months back and it had been fixed about a year ago - like we have gone back in code or changed bridge templates.

 

Obviously on DDCS we experience it more than others - but this will also ruin potential SP campaigns also if they route convoys over certain bridges.

 

Hence why i take screenshots it generally always looks the same the tank stuck inside the bridge as per above - then whole convoys get screwed.

Do that in ME, run for the time to show the issue and select proper view of the moving units, exit, save the track, upload here.

[Hawkeye_UK]

Have track files showing units getting stuck - small one at 20MB however - why for Mission Editor issues are the track files limited to 5MB, its just not credible to highlight larger issues especially ones that require pathfinding.  Wouldn't be too bad if in game mission editor track replay allowed you to edit and save a from and start time.  

 

We need to be able to report these issues and post track files from a wider ranging test - i can literally pull out hundreads of examples from MP (i actually turned off track file writing for MP as it has zero use in bug reporting due to file size and just wastes hard drive usage).  Best bet get one of the Devs to Play on DDCS for a week as a tac commander, they will soon realise just how many issues there are with Combine Arms.  It is seriously not fit for purpose anymore.

I Dont have the track file but It also happened in our server, a group of 5 light armour vehicles got stucked in a bridge and were an easy kill.

 

[BIGNEWY]

we need track replay examples, its the only way we can report issues. 

 

We do have bridge issues reported, but each case maybe slightly different, it maybe an AI issue, it maybe a bridge / object issue. 

 

the track replay or even just a mission with a single unit at the bridge so we know where to look will help

 

thanks
