They Fixed Transports in the New Patch

[Nosho]

@Magro I’m curious what the issue is for you? I find that with the most recent patch, transports are working fine.

[aardvarkpepper]

@Nosho Contextually, probably allied use of transports. There are some changes that veterans notice more.

(edit - DoManMacgee’s a veteran; his use of “fixed” is probably a control implementation reference. The board game rule change is still “broken”, always has been.)

[Magro]

@Nosho I cant move one step and then fill the transport. Unist must start adjacent to it. Also i cna’t chose movement path if several seazones are possible to unload from.

1. If you mean move a transport then load units onto transport, you should be able to do that. If you can’t, either you’re attempting illegal movement or there’s a bug. If you mean move land units that then load onto a transport the same turn, that’s not legal movement.

2. You have to move the transport in question to the sea zone in question then unload manually. It’s awkward, but you can make the legal movement.

@Magro You can. This is what you can do:
Left-click the sea zone with the transport. Right-click another sea-zone. Right-click the unit next to that sea-zone. Right-click the 3rd sea zone. Right-click the land where you want to drop these units to.

You can choose movement path if you go zone by zone. Right-click to 1 zone, then right-click to another zone.

I have to try that. Sounds overly complicated but whould help!
I hope they make these things smoother, being on Steam will attract players.

@JuliusBorisovBeamdog Sorry but it still does not work. UK1 transport moves to Sea zoen 34 infantry in Persia lods can not unload in Egypt (or contunie to a new sea zone). No option to eitehr unloa or continue moving.

@Magro Please provide a screenshot and/or detailed step by step what you’re doing.

[Magro]

@JuliusBorisovBeamdog I followed your list aboce with rightclick-left lcik etc. Just not playing this until it is updated again.

[JuliusBorisovBeamdog]

@Magro Thing is, it’s working in my game. I suspect you’re not doing something that is required but I can’t help without the details.

transports are still effed.
If you wanna start in one SZ ; load a single unit ; move one or two steps ; load a second unit ; then offload both of these into a third territory ; you must ALWAYS without fault follow this Sequence:

1. Click on the Transport you wanna lose with leftclick, make sure it is properly highlighted as selected. 2) RIGHT CLICK on the first unit you wanna onload 3) RIGHT CLICK move the transport into the SZ you want it next ; 4) RIGHT CLICK onto the next unit you want to LOAD ; // THIS IS IMPORTANT // do not move into another seazone and try to click onto an adjecent Land territory, BUT!! 5) Right Click onto the Land Territory you want to conduct the Naval Invasion towards immediately, not taking any intermediary steps in the Seazone.

It will never work if you try to move the land unit by clicking it and moving it onto the transport
it will also never work if you have several transport in a SZ and you try to onload all of them, then move all of them, onload some new units, and then offload them - you must ALWAYS conduct this sequence exactly for each single individual transport; no excuses.

Its Unplayable!

@teferi Please edit out the foul language from your post. You’re borderline, if not in full, rules violation.

[Teferi]

@djensen you mean the wurd “f***ed” in the first sentence? Replaced it.
What else do I need to remove / replace :) I do want to comply with code of conduct and Forum Rules :)

((Edit:)) I cannot rectify this Post, when trying to edit the post I get this error Message: You are only allowed to edit posts for 3600 second(s) after posting

Please advise what action I need take to be in compliance :)

[djensen]

@teferi I updated it for you just changed it to effed :shrug:

[Teferi]

@djensen thank you very much :)

I got this as a reply onto my steam review, too!
I will say this: That Guide is helpful.

But writing or filming a Guide instead of FIXING the problem is not professional, it is at best a band aid for an annoying problem which has been known SINCE DAY ONE

If this Developer Studio were my Company, I would be firing people left right and center.
