Quote:17.1 Middle East Update Log for 1.01
17.1.1 FIXES
· Under any FOW setting, in any context, enemy Morale does not display (is shown as "?"). Enemy Morale only displays if FOW is unselected.
· In the game engine (only), implemented Options > Auto Scroll. (Was there previously in the scenario & map editors, but not in the game engine.)
· With a unit selected, hitting the F3 hot key (etc.) opens the Unit Viewer directly on the info page for that unit. (Before, it would just open on a blank page, and you would have to hunt for the unit.)
· Fixed a bug where, in the Unit Viewer, for nation IDs < 10, the selected unit would not display.
· For on-counter unit stats, fixed an issue where the Morale stat was not displaying properly.
· Under ExtFOW, the Damage Report now displays much, but not quite all, of the info that a non FOW Damage Report would.
· Fixed a questionable design decision where, under ExtFOW, the Display Disrupted highlight was not highlighting friendlies. Under ExtFOW, enemy disrupts still remain unhighlighted.
· Removed the multi-saves warning. (A useless, and otherwise offensive, anti-cheat measure.)
· Fixed a number of bugs involving helos and movement, assaults, overflies, etc.
· Fixed the OBA crash bug.
· Fixed a possible crash bug in PBEM play.
· Fixed a bug where helos overflying unknown enemy units would vanish.
· Fixed a 3D crash bug involving assaults and overflying helos.
· Fixed a bug where air strikes were without limit.
· Fixed a bug where the edorg Append feature was broken.
· Fixed a bug where in 2D, WR, IP etc. markers would display over any Unknown Unit icon.
· Fixed a bug where the game engine was failing to remember and restore the preferred Options > Graphical Icons setting from session to session.
· Fixed a bug where the Infobox Counters setting was not being saved.
· Fixed a bug where phantom IF crosshairs (in the case of drifting) were not being cleared.
· Did some code optimizations to mitigate the effects, with Counter Stats toggled ON, of slow scrolling (on some systems only).
· Prevented possible scenario title text overrun in the Status > Scenario Information dialog. Also, fixed text overruns and other issues in the F2 Unit Handbook display.
· AutoSave AP’s for Firing OFF by default.
· Added missing background music files
· Revised the NATO Symbols sheet with White Background modification
· In various dialogs, clicking Help no longer summons the now non-existent Windows Help, rather the game Manual.
