Re: Bug Warning in FoC (No Spoilers)

[Revan67]

Im going to be purposely vague here so I dont spoil anything for people. Im just going to say where tyber sends urai and what the name of the mission is and what invokes the bug. If anything is spoiled its knowing in advance you go to a planet with a mission, big deal. If you still don't want to know turn around and go

This mission is started by Tyber telling Urai to corrupt Saleucami there are 2 methods one that involves using Urai and one that does not.. DO NOT USE URAI TO CORRUPT SALEUCAMI If you do your campaign will be stuck and unable to advance. I do not have an explanation as to why I just know for some reason you do not get Urai back, so you have to kindof plan ahead and use the second option for corruption to proceed. This is the only bug I have encountered so far but is a save game killer be mindful of it when you get the game.

I didn't have Urai when I started the mission, and I thought it was common sense. Urai went ahead of you(the player) to scout and you had to take Tyber to the planet with some forces. I've heard you can't get to Tech 5 with the rebs in GC, or make the B-wing or MC-30, but I haven't gotten that bug yet. I got to level 5, so I can't confirm it.

[DragonShadow]

I used Urai and it worked fine. ???

[Revan67]

Now thats just jacked up, cause I hit the gamefaqs forums before posting and a few other people had it happen to them too. 

[DragonShadow]

I saw z3r0x say that the corruption removal system doesn't work properly and that's worked fine for me as well...I've never experienced these kinds of bugs people talk about, lol. ;D

[ghostfox1]

Just as a FYI to everyone: I've done some GCs, and the campaign, and yadda yadda yadda. I've found one(possible) glitch. The plasma ball launched from the ZC space station, is that supposed to explode or not?

[DragonShadow]

You mean the one from the cannon on top of the station?

[ghostfox1]

Yeah.

[DragonShadow]

explode when it hits the target? or did it explode in the middle of nowhere? If it's the second thing then that means it missed it's target.

[ghostfox1]

It didn't explode at all, that could be because it missed, but I didn't know.

 

I found a glitch.

 

After watching a replay, you know the fog of war? It's gone. Not that you can see the whole map, but there's no FoW effect at all. I now have found out that if you close out FoC and reload, then everything is back to normal.

In Mission 9, where Tyber faces Thrawn, if you retreat, Tyber disappears and you can't continue because he doesn't respawn.

 

So now I have to start all over again. Dammit.

[Empireftw]

Hmm im not sure if this is a bug but i think it is so on bespin i complete all teh missions except tybers (he only needs 1 more to complete the whole thing) and then darth vader lands and tyber for some reason wont respond ot the terminal so ig 88 tehn dies and i have to start over.

A similar bug occurs with Vader in the EaW campaign; if he dies in a non-mission battle, then you get him back, but in the Geonosian rebellion mission, the AI doesn't register him because the original Vader was replaced with a respawn; he just keeps saying "It would be unwise to go against the Emperor's wishes...", implying that Vader isn't in your fleet; even though he is.

Bug: Interceptor IV Attack & Select Commands Mixed Up

 

Whenever I select the Interceptor IV, it will say "Put pressure on them" or "Attacking". When you tell it to attack, it says "Interceptor IV Reporting". Note: I have no mods or anything, this is vanilla FoC.

 

 

Possible Bug: My FoC Not Initializing

 

My FoC starts about 1/3 of the time you select "Play Game" from the FoC menu. I think this is my rig (It's over 2 years old and running out of disk space), but I'm not sure. This happened right from the start, where I selected "Play Game" and it took about 30 seconds to load (it showed the spinning disk icon) and then it said, "Error: Cannot find legitimate or original disk". Note: My copy is legitimate because I bought it at GameStop. This probably is my rig, but if someone else if experiencing it may be a bug.

[DragonShadow]

Sounds like a drive problem to me.

[ghostfox1]

If you watch replays, you have no FoW stuff. You can't see the map, and it's like FoW, but no grey-ish grid.

[DragonShadow]

Not on my replay...I saw the whole map.

[ghostfox1]

Not on my replay...I saw the whole map.

 

After you watch a replay, if you go into skirmish, you have no FoW effects. No grey-ish grid.

Oh, I thought the problem was with the replay itself...well, haven't had that problem either, hehe...I wonder what would cause that?

[ghostfox1]

I have  no clue. On another note, the AI seems to suck. Even on hard.

[Star Wars Man]

Well, now my whole CD Drive died on my, lol. That's the reason why it wasn't reading, the whole thing appears to be dead: It won't open or close (and the disk is in there, unfortunanatly  :'(), it won't respond, and it's not even listed in My Computer's list of drives. Best to get the Geek Squad on it or something lol.

 

Quick Edit: Thanks to SWGBEX I used teh CD drive's emergency release (little button below the opener-thingy, push in a paper clip and voila) to get my FoC disk outta there, but the drive is still not registering on MC, and therefore it's not working. I'll prolly just go to BB and get an external one to replace it.

Here is some of the bugs and game play issues I have found so far.

PETROGLYPH should be ashamed of it's self for releasing this buggy mess of a expansion.

 

The lucasart support forms are filled with angry customers.

 

Rebel's Can't build any of there new units in Conquest mode as they cannot advance to tech level 5.

 

On the bespin map if you have the ds 2 and executor the executor will be inside the DS 2 at the start of the battle

 

It you set up x-wing groups in a quick selected they do not say anything when selected this all so affects a number of other units.

 

Vader in SSD only counts as 3 cap points an ISD is 4!

 

The Arc Hammer is 0 Cap points so it is free to deploy

 

The Empire cannot use the Eclipse. Even though it is in the manual and on the back of the box

 

You still fight in the bespin atmosphere even if the planet has been destroyed.

 

One time Rogue Squadron changed sides in mid battle!

 

I did the GC equal footing as the empire after I destroyed about 20 planets with the death star the game said I had won even thought the rebels and consortium still controlled planets

>

[Lord_of_the_Sith]

Hmm some are not completely bugs.

 

Arc Hammer free is not a bug. It's like a structure and structures don't take pop cap.

SSD only 3? Well if it would be more it would be impossible to have it with a ISD fleet. i like the 3 pop cap.

You destroyed 20 planets? Wow strange it said you have won. Probably you killed so much that the others decided to surrender  ;D

The other things are funny like the rouge squad. He he I always said that rebs are scum! Choose Empire!

For the other things I will check my self as I am curious.

[slicer1000]

The tech bug happens if you start at any tech level if you start at tech lvl 5 you will have Yoda but the game will still say 4. Until they patch it there is no way to play as new rebel units in GC.

 

The SSD unit cap is wrong because not only is the ssd 3 cap points but so is Vader on the ground.  meaning if you have Vader you cannot deploy any one else. I t should have been piett in the SSD why do we now need 2 isd hero's

 

As for fleet battles I think petroglyph should double the max cap to 50 or gave us the option of changing the pop cap in the menu. As the only way to change it currently is to download a mod which is what I did for the Eaw star wars GB had a 250 limit and it let you change it from 50 to 250. So low end systems did not have any problem.

 

As for the other GC bug I have done some more testing and it happen in gc equal footing. When you get down to the last 10 planets the game will randomly end. The game then plays the credits and says well done for destroying the rebel alliance. even thought the gc  objective it to destroy both the alliance and consortium. I think this happen as the gc mode may not have been correctly changed from the normal game.

 

I think there is going to be a VERY BIG patch for this so modem users watch out. Mine you they did not fix they ATI graphics bug in Eaw where the game slowed down to a crawl.

Slicer.. You still have to Slice to get more tech...
