I feel like Daturias Pits, an 8p map that is really buggy should be removed from the UA Package. While playing on it (an extremely annoying experience IMO), I noticed AI AND player controlled troops getting squads or single units stuck on any of the prop buildings walls in the map. The same way that Aircraft would normally get stuck, they would need to be jumped out or free members of the squad added to a teleport building to automatically move the stuck units as well.

That's a very old glitch - much as I like the map, I remember even in base DoW, years ago, it was buggy like that. And yeah, only way to free them was either jump, or putting them in a transport vehicle or building. I wonder if there's a "fixed" version of the map out there?

We're gonna have code in an upcoming version so no AI-controlled vehicles will ever get stuck ever again PROVIDED they can jump/teleport. ;)

He's referring to infantry getting stuck, which happens a lot on that map.

Everything gets stuck, infantry squad members especially if they even go past the building. Its extremely noticeable if you just play on it for about 10 minutes.

I can't control infantry unless they can jump/teleport.. we're mostly concentrating on vehicles mind you due to their size. We VERY rarely have issues with single infantry or squads ever getting stuck. Can't be helped if the map is that buggy.

Thats the issue, the map itself seems to be majorly problematic. Maybe someone who makes maps would have a better idea whats wrong/could be done.

I already fixed this map for the Soulstorm Bugfix mod a while back, along with several others.

Just search for the Soulstorm Bugfix Mod here on ModDB and download v1.55. The fixed map will be in data/scenarios/mp, but the UA team will need to change the fog and draw distance to make it UA compatible.
