DA latest update - need to move manually the fleets to a destination

please help !

from GalCiv2 Forums

Hi there,

I need to create a new post, because I simply couldn't find information related to my problems within DA latest update (098.e, 1.8). I hardly believe why no one wrote about this yet as I do not believe there is something wrong with my new HP machine...Here it goes:

- downloaded the latest DA update as above, then:
- problem 1: I select a fleet and give it a destination, but after the first movement it simply stops and I have permanently to manually move it to the destination. Remark: ships alone do not have this problem...
- problem 2: I found that the AI has exactly the same issue, it does not complain about it, but I observed during wars that many of it's fleets are standing still and do not attack anything. The strange thing is, that sometimes it even manages to move one fleet to attack as it would wake suddenly up to fall then again asleep...
- thought this can't be, so I restarted my system and played a new game instead, but the fleet problem appeared again...

I' am certain about this problem, the proof: during the Drengin-war no one of their ships came into my territory to attack, X-(  they simply couldn't make it there...

If none of you is a victim of such, then I would like to know how can I get the previous update without reinstalling the game...snif

I too have had this problem. It may just be coincidence, but I did not notice this until I updated my graphics driver. Also, I have noticed that ships do not go around planets anymore, so if the auto is set and goes to a planet, the ship stops there.

I have the same problem issuing fleets a destination that is more than one move past the total moves remaining for the turn.

A light turned on when you said th AI suffers from this as well. Have only started the campaign in DA and was really starting to wonder why I wasn't seeing many fleets moving about. When I did find enemy fleets they were clustered close to planets and didn't move until I moved my ships into range of the other ships.

I'm on the Return of the Dread Lords scenario. I'm at war with the Korath but all thay've sent my way is single troop transports when I have a defenseless planet - been a bland campaign so far.

Yeah I have the same problem (mentioned in a different post, but didnt see your post until now).

I see the stuff on the regedit fix for improper update to version 1.8q via SDC. This update fixes the pathfinding, but I am unwilling to edit my registry, since I really do not know how. i posted otherwise on this, and hopefully there will be an update from SDC on this problem.
