KNOWN ISSUES

• The water texture on some single player missions can appear as a solid grey texture.

• The grid and grid-targeting highlights (when using Flame Wall or Mage Sight) will appear beneath parts of the terrain in Snowy Valley.

• Asphyxious's and Sturgis's Teleport will not accept destinations they could not normally move to.

• Heavy Warjacks do not incur freestrikes from trampling.

• Skarlock Thralls that kill a living unit with Convection do not grant Focus Allocation.

• Skarlock Thralls can make a melee attack and cast a spell in the same activation.

• The Mangler's Thresher attack does not benefit from boosted attack rolls while under Magnus's Iron Aggression.

• Units sometimes will show incorrect facing after moving diagonally or hit with a Free Strike.

• Putting focus into Stationary Units will remove the Frozen visual effect, even if the Stationary Effect is not yet shaken.

• Using Explosivo on Gunmages causes all their runeshots to apply their effects to all units hit in the AOE.

• Enemy Cinerators in Mission 7 may become stuck if the player runs their army to the mine when the Mission begins.

• Enemy Warcaster in Mission 14 can sometimes make 3 ranged attacks in one activation.

• Framerate may drop or hang during the AI turn on Single Player and Skirmish Matches with heavy troop numbers or systems with minimum required hardware.

• Warcasters can contest zones and flags in Scenario Play. Issue14=Kill boxes don't trigger until the second player's second turn.

Crashes

• Rare crash may occur on certain GPU/hardware configurations.

• If you experience a crash, please email us at techsupport@whitemoondreams.com with the circumstance of the crash, your dxdiag file, and your warmachinegame.log file.
