Splitting stacks causing some units to instantly relocate

Steve_The_Tyke · May 8th 2020, 10:00am

Playing game ID #3181941, for the 2nd time I have noticed units relocating as result of splitting them. 1st time I thought my eyes were playing tricks (too much cider?) but now in coffee mode I have captured an image of the standard 2 Destroyer & 2 Subs being split. Destroyers going SE (which is correct), 1 Sub heading west (also correct) but the other Sub is having to said east to where the split happened before heading NE as instructed.
For completeness, 1st instance was at Souk El Arba when one of the units I split jumped to the border with the Bone province and had to drive back to Souk El Arba before heading where I intended. TYIA

Refresh your game, it happens when your game is not connected to the server, you can check if your game is connected at the bottom right of the screen beside the settings icon.

However, it just happened again and that Icon said I was connected to server, but I wasn't splitting units, merely redirecting them to head west, which they will do once they get back to Gabes that they were just north of and now are east of it at the coast. Oops

Make sure the icon is not rotating, the unit's positions will fix itself when the icon stops rotating. Though if it's still rotating after a long time I suggest you refresh the game because it might not send out your orders, happens to me alot.

This happened to me too, but I’m pretty sure it’s just a visual glitch.

No it isn't visual, their journey time/travel time increased as a result of the jump to a new location. My submarine above took best part of an hour to get back to where it was before turning north.

Different units will travel at different speeds, and when the route is recalculated after a split a different arrival time will always be the result when you eliminate slower units from the group.

Part of the recalculation does show the image at another location momentarily as part of the process, simply a visual glitch as said above. Is this different from what you have seen?

Yes, The unit actually relocated in (the reported Med Sea event but NOT in the other 2 happenings - Which were visual as I have just seen another visual event). In the one I sent a picture of, 2 Destroyers and 2 Subs were at the point/apex you can see (Basically track back from Destroyer Position and 1 of Subs to see where all 4 units were). Somehow, 1 Sub jumped westand took almost an hour to head back to the point it was at before turning north to be near Siciliy. Hence, not a visual bug but an actual relocation during the split that happened instantaneously. Now unless the Enterprise did return to WW2 (not a similar planet having a War or using holodeck) didn't think Transporter technology really exists outside Star Trek.
