Last night was the last time. I love playing comm and its very enjoyable and challenging. However when once again I could not upgrade the TF to siege cannon I just lost all will to do it. I dont know how many times my team secures an area with guts alone and barely hold it waiting for seige and I Cant fulfill my end of the bargain.

Here is a list of places I know time and again the TF does not want to upgrade. I dont have all the maps memorized so I will just say the hive near the location.

Computer Core - South loop and the middle of the room that leads to computer core.

To the left of power silo hive is a small passage with sliding doors. Its the perfect spot to place. However TF never works there.

The map caged at Vent hive doesnt always work near the welded gate.

I am sure there are many many many more places.

    I feel your pain, Taskman. Don't dispair, I'm certain these bugs will be ironed out in the next client release, or perhaps even sooner if the individual map makers decide to release their tweaked/fixed maps ahead of that.

    Upgrading will sometimes work in those areas, it all depends on placement. I've seen the bug once, but at that time thought it was another bug altogether, and here's why: I placed a TF very close to one of my phase gates, almost on top of it, and whenever I selected the TF it would instead select the phase gate. No upgrading allowed. This may just be the no-upgrade bug, or maybe I found a new one.. I'm not sure. :/

    But like I said. 1.1 will fix it. <!--emo&:)--><img src='http://www.unknownworlds.com/forums/html/emoticons/smile.gif' border='0' valign='absmiddle' alt='smile.gif'><!--endemo-->

    In general, it can be extremely frusterating to see everything go down in a blaze of glory thanks to one tf not being able to seige...however, there are some things you can do to mitigate this problem:

    1) Usually, instead of selecting the tf, you'll select only a certain building on parts of maps that have the tf bug upgrade. If you sell that structure, you're usually able to select the turret factory (or build a new one and select it while its building) and upgrade to seige.

    2) build a turret factory first, and IMMEDIATELY upgrade it. while this requires more resources and longevity on your marine's part, it will ensure no problems with seige in the future--unless that tf goes down.

    3) Get someone else to quickly log in and try upgrading. I once jumped into the chair and was able to upgrade a tf that someone else couldn't upgrade. This isn't always reliable around problem areas on a map, however.

    Good luck, and Godspeed for the next patch!
