Objective: sink 2 ships not firing. [Fixed in 1.06]

[soundnfury]

I've seen this a couple of times now: in a battle with an objective to Sink 2 ships (any ship), I sink at least that much (in this example, 4 corvettes) but the objective doesn't complete and so I don't get the points.

When did you start the game?  1900
What nation were you playing?  Germany
Were there any start options that were not the default?  Very Large fleets, Build legacy fleet
What were you doing when the bug occurred?  Fighting a 'Destroyer action' battle
What did you expect to happen and how was the result you saw different than you expected.  I expected the objective to complete when the second enemy KE sank.
What version of the game were you playing?  1.05b

Note: I am running under WINE on Linux.

Something I've just remembered correlates with this (because it's happened again): the location of the Objective on the map is nowhere near the battle. Specifically, the battle is in the Gulf of Finland, whereas the objective marker is off Jutland at about 56°N 5°E. So it could be that the sinkings aren't counting towards the objective because they're too far away from it.

That sounds like the issue in this case - the 'sink' objective requires the ships sunk to be within a reasonable distance of the objective point to count. Do you have a save game of the battle, by any chance?

Yes, there is an error with the objective location! Thanks for the report!
