reported Ground vehicles lose planned route when loading troops

[Furia]

Ground vehicles with a planned route will lose that route and stay in the same place where they just boarded the troops instead continuing to the next planned waypoint.

So the troops actually board the vehicle without a problem, but once they are on board, you can even see in F10 that the vehicle route disappears.

Another "interesting" issue is that in the ME, when assigning a group of soldiers to load, the system gives a decimal to the number of soldiers. I attach an example from ME. So, for example, if you try to load 4 soldiers in a Kamaz, the group is sized as 3.6 soldiers. See picture

 

I have used the embark and disembark function before and I am familiar with how this works but unless something has changed in this latest version I am unable to get it to work.

I attach a very simple example.

I released this report at least two years ago.

I hope your report makes them take a look.

I hope so.  This could ruin a mission and it also affects old missions that use vehicles embarking troops using the ME functionality.

It was reported internally. The whole Embark function is broken.

I've just bumped the report.

Thank you. Remember that the route is also lost after boarding when that route is planned by road.

It's not lost as noticed by one of the testers: give the unit a "switch to waypoint" action, and it will resume.

Devs are working on a fix.
