Bugs
If you find a bugs, please report to Mantis.
Please attach infolog.txt as file, if you crash!
We could reproduce the infinite loop but we weren't able to locate/fix the bug yet: (5095) Would be good if this bug could be reproduced in a online game as it seems to not happen for all players.

Thats why we made a RC4. Thanks a lot for your help, we can hopefully release 101.0 soon when this bug is located and fixed.

Happy testing! :-)

Pathing in 101 is a bit screwy. It works pretty well, but for fast moving units they will do this kinda wiggle thing when first taking off, you can literally see the grid along which they are pathing. In evo it isn't game breaking, but it could be in others (haven't tested).

Additionally when spawning 10 elighttank3 in evo (kites) on Akilon Wastelands v16, on the lower ground I gave them an order from my 4th expansion location to my enemy's third expansion location and most of the tanks took the short way around, but a few branched off, started to take the long way around up on the middle-left high ground by the watchtowers and then a little ways into the trip, changed their minds again and went the short route.

I can see that being a big issue if I'm giving my large army a move order across the map and to back to looking at my base and don't notice that a fourth of my army branches off and can't decide which route to take.

To replicate, you will need the 101 branch of evo on github. Hoko already has it I believe as he was helping me sort out 101 related issues. It might be worth looking into. I can probably scrounge up the replay if needed.

Ok, I lied, the pathing is really messed up. Check out the replay:

You need evo github 101 branch, akilon wastelands v16 + springfeatures v1.6.

Ahh shit can't attach in news forum...
