I like that dialog. Set it to team 0 until you know it's Hostile

Let starts a streak..

^That

What I mean is, I want ever bug, no matter how minor, such as that one.

Well, I posted this before, but starting with the first Bane mission, most of my mission objectives are scrambled, i.e I see the string "Missionxxxx" instead of, say "Convoy", "Scion Creature" or whatever. Not sure if other ppl have seen this, but I am running BZ2 on an older XP machine. There seems to be an issue with how the engine is reading localize.odf.

I have the new dlls installed for some of the SP missions, but this problem persists, not that I am really playing the SP missions anymore.

I have seen it too, im on win 7 32bit

Ah yeah, the mission objectives bug. I remember reading about the possibility on how its caused, but I don't remember the reasoning. But someone did report that one in particular. Happens after a particular mission number and never reverts back to normal. I think it starts after mission 10 or something.

I'll start playing the entire campaign again next week, am home doing nothing but sleeping a lot anyway.
I make no promisses though

Don't get me wrong, I'll help if needed, but one question, and yes I know 1.2 fixes a lot of things. Why would someone spend time fixing the SP for 1.3.6.3 when you can just install the game without a patch and play the SP missions all day long? Every one of us has a version with no patch so we can just copy/paste for new iterations of the game. Is there something wrong with the original version of the SP?

Yep, it does not make use of any of the improvements that 1.3 gives us, like a better AI.

some of the 1.3 additions and fixes affected the missions, like the addition of the idle dispatcher, which would send off units to attack when the timeout kicked in, or the attacker code being fixed which would then send huge waves at you at once, plus other things i can't recall since i just got up.

I have a 1.0 install file for BZ2, but for the life of me, I can't get 1.2 to even start on my system. I'd rather use that if I could, but the game just refuses to start. Win7 64-bit is likely the cause and I haven't found info on how to force it to work. Pretty sure I also installed the DX7 libraries, but dunno for certain.

Even 1.01b, 1.1 and 1.2's singleplayer is badly broken in some places. And you don't get to use 1.3's shiny new features there..

Yeah, aside from modding possibilities 1.3.6xxx fixes some serious mission crashes, at least for me. I know on both 1.0 and 1.2 the first Core mission would ALWAYS blow up on me at some point, after I had got thru the first really hard part.... Grrrrr. In 1.3.6.2 this does not happen. The 2nd Rend mission and On Thin Ice would go down as well sometimes, on the earlier patches.

I dunno if this would be considered a campaign bug necessarily, but the Scion Gun Spires have an issue with where they fire. If an enemy gets close enough, the lightning hits the spikes that surround the fireport rather than clearing them. I haven't played any IA/MP since the patch so I'm not sure if it does this in IA/MP as well.

This is known yes. Thanks for the info though.
