Patch for Harpoon ANW 3.9.0

[Herman]

A Beta version of the ANW Patch 3.9.0 is now available for those willing to test out experimental software.

Matrix (http://www.matrixgames.com/forums/tm.asp?m=1702670&mpage=1��)

Hi everyone,

We've uploaded 3.9.0 RC5 as a Public Beta via our Members Club. While we do final testing we figured we'd offer you a change to get it early as well. This is still a beta, but it's stable and solid as far as we can tell.

You can download this as a Registered Download as long as you have registered your Harpoon 3 Advanced Naval Warfare serial number in our Members Club (click on the MEMBERS link in the top nav bar).

Please see the reame for more details

[Herman]

After 9 months of totally non-functional scenarios, the Patch for Harpoon ANW 3.9.0 has finally been officially released.

Now, let's see if they actually fixed anything or just added 2 new bugs for every fix like they did for the 3.8.0 "Un-Patch" patch.

Summary:
After 3.7.0 release: 80 Issues reported
After 3.8.0 Patch: (80 Issues - 34 Fixed + 88 New) = 134 Issues
After 3.9.0 Patch: (134 Issues - 33 fixed + 68 New) = 169 Issues

A comprehensive third-party list of 134 * Known Harpoon [ANW] Issues (http://www.gamesquad.com/forums/showthread.php?t=42076) has been exhaustively collected on GameSquad (http://www.gamesquad.com/forums/forumdisplay.php?f=186) since the release of Harpoon ANW 3.7.0 Now that the 3.9.0 patch has been released, the list has been checked to see what has changed. While it is by no means definitive, it is believed that:

These 33 behaviours appear to have been resolved by the 3.9.0 patch:

These 101 behaviours do not appear to have been resolved by the 3.9.0 patch:


AAA fire

AAA guns are not limited by the altitude of the target and can even shoot down satellites.

Automatic contact classification

The true type classification of a contact is automatically revealed when it is designated hostile by the hotkey.

Group Nav Zone Settings

The Nav Zone settings for a Group are not adopted by the individual units forming that Group. i.e. If you order a TF to avoid Ship Threat Zone [A], the Group icon will avoid the Threat Zone but the individual ships of the Group will sail into the Threat Zone.

Work-around solution: Set the Nav Zone parameters for each unit individually.

Identification failure

Sometimes, when you hit the Database button for a unit, only one possible identity is shown but the unit display will still describe it as Unknown.

Subs in groups

Subs joined with groups are automatically assigned a formation patrol zone on the ASW axis that cannot be changed or modified.

Hangar overload

It is possible to land many more aircraft than the hangar capacity allows.

Battery endurance for sonobuoys is irrelevant.

ARMs cause planes to hang

Aircraft armed with Anti-Radiation Missiles and bombs will continue to hang over a target once the bombs are released if they have not fired their ARMs. This will occur even if ARMs cannot be fired at the target in question.

Opening 3.6.3 scen causes crash (http://tinyurl.com/2jt7b6)

Opening this scenario in ANW causes Crash. Scenario opens and runs fine in H3.6.3

Would any of the above issues explain why after two days of trying I have yet to succesfully drop any type of bomb wether LGB/KAB or dumb from any type of aircraft at any combination of speed or altitude despite checking that all launch parameters were compliant? The menus allow me to assign bombs to drop but nothing them happens? JDAMS are the only bomb weapons that appear to work? This applies to all the DB's I have tried including the standard one that comes with the game?

http://www.matrixgames.com/forums/fb.asp?m=1759202

This is simply unbelievable, but true. :cry: Every single database currently in existence is unable to have bombs drop from planes.

Luckily, the PlayersDB group has already found and implemented a work-around solution for this boondoggle so that players can continue to enjoy Harpoon uninterrupted.

Erik Rutins, Director of Product Development at Matrix Games, stated, ”Together with AGSI, we’ve embarked on a new initiative to make it our development priority to work through the outstanding issues reported to us by the community and release frequent updates as these issues are addressed. As a part of this new focus, we’ve entered the entire community-maintained issues list into our tracking system and opened that up to the public. Along with this increased visibility into our progress on these issues, the public will also have the ability to submit reports directly into our system again.”

Summary:
After 3.7.0 release: 80 Issues reported
After 3.8.0 Patch: (80 Issues - 34 Fixed + 88 New) = 134 Issues
After 3.9.0 Patch: (134 Issues - 31 fixed + 68 New) = 171 Issues
After 3.9.2 Patch: (171 Issues - 13 fixed + 29 New) = 187 Issues

A comprehensive third-party list of 171 * Known Harpoon [ANW] Issues (http://www.harplonkhq.com/forum/viewtopic.php?p=47#47) has been exhaustively collected on HarPlonkHQ (http://www.harplonkhq.com/forum/) since the release of Harpoon ANW 3.7.0 Now that the 3.9.2 patch has been released, the list has been checked to see what has changed. While it is by no means definitive, it is believed that:

AAA guns are not limited by the altitude of the target and can even shoot down satellites.

Automatic contact classification

The true type classification of a contact is automatically revealed when it is designated hostile by the hotkey.

Group Nav Zone Settings

The Nav Zone settings for a Group are not adopted by the individual units forming that Group. i.e. If you order a TF to avoid Ship Threat Zone [A], the Group icon will avoid the Threat Zone but the individual ships of the Group will sail into the Threat Zone.

Work-around solution: Set the Nav Zone parameters for each unit individually.

Identification failure

Sometimes, when you hit the Database button for a unit, only one possible identity is shown but the unit display will still describe it as Unknown.

Subs in groups

Subs joined with groups are automatically assigned a formation patrol zone on the ASW axis that cannot be changed or modified.

Hangar overload

It is possible to land many more aircraft than the hangar capacity allows.

Most often, the patrols appear offset from the actual Threat Axis. i.e. if the Threat Zone is pointing North and a Patrol zone is assigned to it, the ship may take up a patrol zone 90 degrees off the intended placement. This occurs primarily in multi-player games, but has been reported in SP (by Shemar), too.

Automatic contact classification

The true type classification of a contact is automatically revealed when it is designated hostile by the hotkey.

Group Nav Zone Settings

The Nav Zone settings for a Group are not adopted by the individual units forming that Group. i.e. If you order a TF to avoid Ship Threat Zone [A], the Group icon will avoid the Threat Zone but the individual ships of the Group will sail into the Threat Zone.

Work-around solution: Set the Nav Zone parameters for each unit individually.

Automatic contact classification

The true type classification of a contact is automatically revealed when it is designated hostile by the hotkey.

Group Nav Zone Settings

The Nav Zone settings for a Group are not adopted by the individual units forming that Group. i.e. If you order a TF to avoid Ship Threat Zone [A], the Group icon will avoid the Threat Zone but the individual ships of the Group will sail into the Threat Zone.

Work-around solution: Set the Nav Zone parameters for each unit individually.

Subs in groups
