2 bugs

[decourcy2]

1. In window mode if I minimize the screen I cannot maximize again. Game is over.

Edit. There is an autosave! Yes! Thanks for that, I never noticed it.

2. The detach button is just flat out broken. It states 'detach ship to return to closest friendly base' What it means is the ship will sail in a circle for ten minutes and then try to steam into the opponents fleet/harbour.

This has to be fixed. It happens every. time. I use detach.

What mode are you playing on? In Captain mode:

1) You can set a detached ship to manual control and send it in whatever direction you want.

2) However, you have to be careful: A detatched ship in Captain mode will often, depending on conditions, automatically go to manual mode (even, sometimes, if it detached automatically!), which will result in it following whatever course its division was last ordered to follow before it was detached until you give it new orders. I have had this result in exactly what you said: The ship sailing right into the middle of the enemy fleet.

For the minimization issue, check the very bottom left of your screen. I've had a similar issue where RtW2 likes to hide down there.

Thanks for the replies.

1. I like to play in admiral mode for realism and less micro managing so I use the detach unit, but it doesn't work.

2. My window of the game is on my bottom bar fine, I just cannot get it to re-maximize again. If I click the bottom bar 'RTW2' it tries to start the game again.

Well, second problem solved. You were correct, the game is minimized in the bottom left, I could not see it as my bottom bar was always on. When I minimized the bar I could see the box. But why is there also a large bar on my bottom bar that says RTW2 ? Thanks again for the reply.

The taskbar always shows all open windows. The little thing at the bottom left is actually the application window itself, scrunched down so that just the minimize/maximize/exit buttons at the right of the title bar are the only thing visible.
