136. Weapon ignores range limitation
     
     • Weapon sometimes ignores range limitation and fires on targets outside of the range set by the Database. This can sometimes result in guns hitting targets 100s of miles away. Often, it occurs when the target is vaguely detected.
137. Sonobuoy deployment altitude
     
     • Sonobuoys can be deployed at any altitude.
138. Min engine altitude ignored
     
     • Min engine altitude ignored for Trident SLBM. Missile can be launched from a depth deeper that allowed by the engine parameters.

[Herman]

With the release of the 2009.050 Patch for Harpoon Ultimate Commanders' Edition, these are some of the issues that remain open.

1. Barges in harbour cannot be torpedoed
   
   Barges grouped with land facilities cannot be attacked by torpedo even though the vessels are clearly in open water. Attack is possible by SLCM.
   
2. CTD choosing ClassID in SE
   
   SE crashes when setting up ClassID in ViConds
   
3. Damage display corrupted [2006]
   
   After base is damaged by missiles, the Unit display is corrupted.
   
4. Doubles selected in unit window
   
   Two units can be shown as selected at the same time within the Unit display window
   
5. Dual BOL windows cause freeze
   
   Multiple BOL launch windows can be opened, but not closed; thereby causing game to freeze
   
6. Group survivors form improper group
   
   Airfield ACb is destroyed. Ground units grouped with the base now form a group called "DL". Two letter designation for a group is improper. All units should have 3 characters. Also, when DL is selected and all units are detached to a new group, EQr is formed (a proper group).
   
7. Ineligible target type
   
   When ordered to attack a surface group known to contain ships, subs, and aircraft, only subs and aircraft are offered as target types.
   
8. Instantaneous torpedo resolution
   
   Torpedoes fired from submarines to ships 3nm-4nm away hit at once without running the distance. Also, there is no launch/hit animation (if active) and the Ph does seem unrealistic
   
9. Keyboard commands missing
   
   Many keyboard commands listed in either the in-game help function for GE, the in-game help function for SE, or the manual are missing. Also, the keyboard commands listed in the manual do not correspond with the ones available from the in-game help function.
   
10. Launch Limbo [2006]
    
    When aircraft are either launching or landing, if the aircraft in the group are destroyed before the group is fully launched/landed, the aircraft that have not yet launched to / already landed from the group are stranded in limbo either as launching or landing.
    
11. Missile turns away
    
    Incoming Phoenix missile turns away on final approach to target.
    
12. No Standoff attack possible
    
    Sub group ordered to attack carrier group. Elects to attack the sub in the group with Stand-off weapon. However, Weapons Allocation window is blank.
    
13. Nuke blast range error
    
    Nuclear torpedoes fired from submarines to ships 2nm-3nm away hit at once without running the distance. Also, the target ship is not destroyed! (but those in the blast range are)
    
14. Patrol zones centred on wrong position
    
    Formation patrol zones are centred on different positions and not consistent This can cause major problems when trying to add new air or ship patrols.
    
15. Patrol zones do not match positions
    
    Graphic circular display in formation editor does not match ship positions.
    
16. VLow SAMs intercept VHigh[/url]
    
    ManPAD SAMs with low level ceiling are launch against aircraft at VHigh while they are crossing targets
    
17. Shot down during landing [2005]
    
    Air Group BJA consisted of four aircraft. BJA is in the process of landing. Two have already landed. One was shot down. The final aircraft in the group is about to be shot down. When it is shot down, the two aircraft already on the ground will be stranded in limbo and listed as Landing, but they will never move out of that phase and are forever lost to the player/AI. This situation is easily replicable for any DB and is definitely not specific to HCDB.
    
18. Specific Class not possible in ViConds
    
    Unable to select the Class category for any type of Victory Condition. Consequently, scenario designers are no longer able to specify individual bases for ViConds.
    
19. Sub ignores patrol zone
    
    Sub ignores assigned formation patrol zone. This problem was first identified by Mark Kratzer.
    
20. Units do not move to new patrol zones
    
    Units do not move to new patrol zones when size of zones is changed
    
21. Staff message appears after attack cancelled
    
    Units do not move to new patrol zones when size of zones is changed
    
22. Torps cannot acquire
    
    Torpedoes never acquire target regardless of which direction and distance they are fired from. Torpedoes do work against other submarine targets. The distance the target is away from its group icon and formation patrol zone may be one possible explanation of this behaviour.
    
23. SE unit display button inaccessible
    
    SE unit display window does not allow use of [D]isplay button after a unit is selected. Hotkey [D] works, though.
    
24. Bitching Betty never turns off
    
    AI warns player to turn on radar. Even after player complies, the same warning repeats ad nauseum.

This features a restricted set of scenarios and will time out after a reasonable period of time.

* Known Harpoon [ANW] Issues

[Gorshkov]

Where is 3.10 patch for ANW owners? It is almost a year since Ultimate Edition release and still nothing!

[Herman]

We are are happy to announce, along with Advanced Gaming Systems (www.advancedgaming.biz), the release of the v3.11.1 update for the Advanced Naval Warfare portion of the powerful modern naval strategy game Harpoon – Ultimate Edition.

This comprehensive update adds in an updated Database, perfect for scenario creators and editors to tailor their scenarios to their choosing with more variety. The update also fixes and improves the Boarding and Takeover feature for those daring players that bring the fight to their enemies in the water just that much closer! Other additions include a new victory condition that requires the possession of certain units, which works similar to the Protect Unit victory condition.

Honestly. How hard is it for their programming team to go down your list issue by issue and fix each one?

Is the Commander's edition any better in that regard?

It's a shame that Harpoon ANW is really the only game in town when it comes to a sim that covers everything that it does but then they let it get filled with bug after bug after bug.
I wish some other company would take over Harpoon development who will actually do it justice. "Command" looks like it's going to be a shoe-in for the next Harpoon if everything works right. It already is surpassing what "Harpoon 4" was supposed to have been before AGSI canceled development on it. It might be nice if AGSI devoted some development time to creating a new engine that uses the latest Harpoon rules set that isn't so full of bugs.
The only reason I can imagine for all these issues is that they have one or two barely paid part time programmers in their company who barely have time to devote to any coding or playtesting.

[Herman]

I firmly believe that every Harpoon bug could be fixed within 6 weeks, if there was the will to do so.

Until that happens, this albatross will continue to hang around their neck.

[Blacklight]

You would think that if they have a military contract for their "MilSim" that they would be more vigilant in squashing those bugs.
You would think that their military customers would be stomping on them.

I know that I, as a consumer, am not going to blow my cash on their product until I see the massive level of bugs gone.
Maybe we can hope that some team of crackers reverse engineers the code and goes in, fixes the bugs themselves, and presents the fixed version to AGSI. This is probably a pretty doable venture with some smart people. There are hobbyist crackers who do this kind of thing as a hobby. I used to know someone who, whenever he would find bugs in a game he liked, he would "reverse engineer" the code, fix it, and then re-compile the thing. And he did it for fun.
Wishful thinking that someone would do that in this day and age.

I really hope Command follows through on being the next Harpoon.

HCE is a bit better, but they have also pretty much given up fixing bugs and just sit around complaining why no one wants to help them. The overall level of function is probably higher in HCE than in ANW/HUE.

Who knows what that game will be like. They make a lot of claims, but there's no way to know since it isn't publicly available. At least Harpoon is out there for anyone to check, bugs and all.

That's just another excuse. If you don't have the resources to do it properly, better to not do anything at all. They took the money and now won't deliver a functional product. This is the same thing that has happened with NWAC. That game is half-assed, too.

I doubt that their military customers have much use for them. However, if all they want is a program to track a few units moving around a map, then the game is fine for that purpose. If they actually want an intelligent AI, then they are probably looking elsewhere.

A (crazy) idea :

We should gather and organize a fundraising in order to buy the license and fix those endless bugs.

[Herman]

I heard that someone tried to do just that, a long time ago. The number was supposedly in the 'high six figures'. Only someone truly delusional would place such a value on Harpoon (and much less on the current state of the game.)

[Blacklight]

Is there any alternative to Harpoon that even comes close to what Harpoon does out there?

Kickstarter for a Harpoon Alternative anyone?

[Herman]

I think that there are a lot of additional parts to the puzzle that need to be assembled before anyone's ready to make any KickStarter announcements.
