Excellent work my friend, the community will certainly appreciate the ongoing and the massive effort to get the bugs ironed out. Keep up the good work and remember to take a rest as well!
Very important for future patches in my opinion is the handling and controlling of big armies. At the moment it is so laggy! From the scrolling over the screen when there are big armies to the 1. CTRL+A--> select units--> order, 2. CTRL+A--> select units--> order, 3. CTRL+A--> select units--> order and so on. This process is just impossible to do fast when there are big armies in a close combat. It is just unplayable at the moment.
Hum, i use minimap to jump fast, and formations, so i only have to click on one unit to select the pack. Actually i don't even use groups (Ctrl+1...) in Cossack. Playing on Normal speed.
New game breaking bug introduced, Crash to desktop after queuing up multiple buildings in random map skirmish mode.( Error message: Access violation at address 0040584B in module 'cossacks.exe'. Read of address 000000FD.) To reproduce: start a skirmish game>select all villagers>Hold shift>Build a Mill>Build 2 Town Centres>Crash I have tried a number of alternate build orders and most buildings work fine, it appears that the bug has something to do with building a town centre. although it is possible to build a town centre under some circumstances. Edit: fixed
