So, I'm not sure if this is normal or not, but the AI seems very...absent. I've played multiple games and experimented with multiple settings on normal and hard ai modes, and each time, regardless of what race I play against (except tyranid ,who seem to function properly), they'll send out some units to capture a bunch of resource points, and then just hang in their base. All their construction units will be idle, their combat units seem to migrate around a control point next to their base and do nothing, and they just won't upgrade, won't produce any vehicles, won't go on the offensive; just nothing. I know there are settings to make it so the ai doesn't produce certain things, but I've got all these off. I've played with the insta-build on/off, larger squad sizes, tried quickstart with tons of resources, normal resource start, etc. But the AI seems to just behave the same way regardless. |

i can confirm this often times the AI will build up an army and rush you but once you drive them back they just sit there doing nothing they will not reinforce their troops nor will they ever sent them out again |

This sounds like the AI bug back in August where I have encountered this when a Dark Eldar AI is present... however, since 1.73 release, I had no such issue ever since 1.73, never. Maybe it is an installation glitch or 1 or two missing files? I honestly don't know the source or how to fix, especially when everything works perfectly on my end. It also depends on how many Dark Eldar AI you play with? Maybe there is something in DE AI? Edited by: Lord_Cylarne |

No dark eldar. I've played against space marines, tyranid (tyranid seemed to function fine), and imperial guard. Its a clean 1.73 install, with 1.73.4 patch over it, on a fresh install of Soulstorm. |

Try 1.73.5? Maybe I fixed it by accident... |

Thanks for the quick response. I'll put on 1.73.5 and see if it fixes the issue. Well, the game won't start with the new 1.73.5 patch. Not sure if I need to download something else with it, but putting it in the same way I did the 1.73.4 patch just causes the game to crash to desktop on loading. I'll just reinstall the mod and see what happens. Actually, now Soulstorm itself won't even start after running the UA uninstaller, so I'd double-check this new patch to make sure it isn't causing issues. Shame about 73.5, but reinstalling the mod with 73.4 has produced functioning AI. |
