      @jip Are you kidding me?! I've been using this mod for months, also use player colors as my default setting, and only now do I learn about that setting to fix the black-icons bug. Thank you!

        Hi,

        I noticed an issue when ui party's "watch units" is on:

        • select a unit
        • give it a multi-step patral queue using shift
        • sometimes, after finishing the queue and releasing shift, the patrol icon on the mouse cursor remains active

        If you dont notice that, your next click breaks your patrol queue you just made and the unit(s) start to patrol to where you last clicked. I am not sure if other queued commands might be affected as well.

        I could reproduce this with just ui party and common mod tools being active ... no other mods. Just the ACU is enough to reproduce.

        • ui party 15
        • common mod tools 1 (10/10/16)

        Any ideas how to fix that? Thx.

              Hey there.

              I can't reproduce the issue - do you get it when there is only a commander on the map and no other units. I have seen things like that before over the years but it is rare and I haven't heard many complaints.

              How frequently can you replicate the issue?
              Can you replicate the issue and send me a log file? And your game.prefs file.

              Maybe I can find a clue in there.

                Hi nine2,

                with this issue, I run into it every game multiple times. But I use patrol a lot over attack move.

                Reproduced it now with just a commander and a game with only common mod tools + ui party. In ui party the mod is enabled, watch units was on and start units in ground fire mode as well.

                The 7th queued patrol I made reproduced it. See between 00:23 seconds and 00:25 seconds. Game id #19097091.

                PS: It reproduces as well with only common mod tools + notifications 5.2 on under the same conditions.

                  I cant find how to upload files here or send them to you. You can find both files here:

                    There was nothing in the log, and I can't reproduce with your game.prefs

                    Could you send a video showing the issue? I don't think I'm going to be able to figure this out 😞

                      Find 2 videos reproducing it + the 2 game logs on the above share.

                      • increase the sound volume to hear my voice ... it is pretty silent
                      • notice that there are only 2 mod loaded (common mod tools + ui party)
                      • I forgot to show the ui party settings in the videos ... there is a screenshot as well for that

                        Found a bug,
                        If you click select your acu, then click enhancements now drag select (not click select) a engineer (or any other unit).

                          I am also seeing other weird issues that were not their before,

                          1. While ACU is upgrading it can happen that you select the ACU but it selects a factory instead, you have to wait for the upgrade to finish before you can select your ACU.
                          2. Units not deselecting correctly on command queuing
                            And other strange issues when selecting or drag selecting units.
                            Anyone else seen these issues?

                                  I noticed the ACU selection bug but it is minor, also I think you can force select acu by holding shift while selecting it?

                                  idk what second bug means though so maybe it didn't happen to me

                                    For me it would move to unit tab over build tab sometimes and sometimes would prefer build tab over unit tab when i have big clump of army selected.

                                    Secure the kill and send it off.

                                      hm never saw that happen, only bug with selections I notice is that when you select many units/buildings at same time with shift drag, pause button is grayed out forcing you to deselect random units until it appears, but idk if it is ui party related or general

                                        Hello has anyone figured out the selection bug with factories/engineers and control groups.

                                        video of bug

                                        if you have a factory or engineer/ACU selected and then select a control group. The bottom bar does not update to the selection menu.

                                        Is there any fix for this? Sorry to necro but this seems to be the most recent UI party trouble shooting situation. I have enabled logging in UI party but it does not seem to go anywhere.

                                        Thank you for any support

                                        The problem seems to exist only with the "select similar assisters" option is turned on This is the only reason i use ui party is their an alternative?

                                            There is also a mod in the vault called 'Selection Fix', which fixed the UI Party selection problem. Even though that doesn't appear to be the intended use, based on the vault description. It made UI Party usable for me.
