A nasty bug !

Post by Sylwy »

Hi all !

I discovered some bugs in Chessmaster Grandmaster Edition .The nasty one:
if you replay a friendly game with a pawn converted in queen you never be able to see the new queen.

Hello UbiSoft !
:twisted: :twisted: :twisted:

There's also the buggy learning assistant that gets stuck at the end of the 'Piece Value' tutorial, the buggy importing of winboard engines, where, after adding one (such as crafty, in my case), if you try to edit it you get an error that it's not a valid configuration file. Not to mention game.exe that eats up 50% of the cpu (I have a dual core, so one core), thus leaving TheKing only the other core. It's a shame really. :(

PS: Hello everyone! Image Nice place you've got here, hope you don't mind having a newbie as me around, as I don't plan on remaining one for too long anyway. :lol:

Hi,
I found a solution: if you create this wb engine inside CM X you can copy it to CM11 and use and edit. I made a mail to ubi already!

So I should also buy CM X as a workaround for this bug in CM 11 while I wait for the 1.02 patch (I'm expecting one any moment, seeing how the first one was released just a couple of days after the game came out). Interesting marketing strategy. :lol:

Hello Werner
I have not yet purchased CMk11 :shock: and still missing answers to
my question as to the use of the own CM-GUI, I will not buy the latest
JdK-engine.

Hi Kurt,
I was quite sure I answered in another forum.
The outputs are identical. The new GUI has some new bugs till now.
Here are 2 pictures:
