Hotfix slowed down computer moves?

@stancollins Welcome to the forum. I have moved your topic to the 1942 Online forum-category.

@JuliusBorisovBeamdog Can you please answer that?

Hello. i have been playing A&A since about 1990 and my 11 years old son is now actively playing the original version and the Pacific version.

Recently we purchased the online version on Steam and that is what my question is about.

Is there a way to set the level of the computer players differently? At the moment the level of difficulty is too high. It would be great if there is a way to lower it as a confidence boost.

Thanks!

@bratcher You must right click the transport, then right click the units you want to load, then right click the sea zone you want the transports to move to, then right click the territory you want to unload units into. Hope it works for you.

It’s totally possible. When you create a custom online game, pick Private in the Game Privacy toggle, and then you’ll be able to send an invite to your friend.

Ah, I think I figured it out. A complex is considered an enemy unit so you can’t blitz through it.

You did figure it out. Well done.

@Panther

TY!

Can you tell me where you moved this post to? As you can see I am new here, and from digging around there seems to only be one location for all posts relating to Axis & Allies 1942 2nd Edition.

We have this category for it:

Play Online Axis & Allies - > Axis & Allies 1942 Online

So that is where it has been moved. You can verify this by looking at / scrolling to the top of the page. Right under the Axis & Allies .org logo you see the place where your thread is.

The category you originally posted in is for the boardgame. For computer/online games we have dedicated forums.

One thing I would like to see is a way to see the match up during Combat Move before I complete the phase.

Clicking on the territory show not only what is already there but also what units you are moving in. In the Combat Move summary, show the match ups. The current screen (below) is useful but if I had the defenders in there too, I can review it an “Make Changes” when I realize I don’t have enough units for a battle.

@DoManMacgee said in Day 2 Feedback (Post Hotfix):

I did start a multiplayer game last night, and that all works fine. Dice roll a bit slowly compared to offline play, but that’s probably because the online mode uses dice servers or some sort of anti-cheat mechanism.

Perhaps the dice servers are why, but regularly I have issues where it takes 10-15 seconds to move units because of the absurd lag. Move inf, wait 10 secs, move inf, wait 10 secs, repeat. It seems like quitting the game and restarting helps and this is actually quicker than waiting when you have a lot of moves.

Lag is a major issue IMO, even today (8/2)
