Just played my first hour of Company of heroes and already discovered a game-breaking bug that kills your entire campaign playthrough.
Apparently if an enemy scripted unit dies unexpectedly the game never ends the trigger for its move to end and locks you out of continuing.
This bug existed from launch and is still not fixed and I don`t know how to fix it.
If anyone can help, I would be grateful.
Using the console I found a line like this constantly repeating "Autosave failing due to ongoing turn actions"
Is there a command i can use to end the turn or ongoing gameaction?
Anyway I would not recommend the game , if you want to play the campaign, since at any moment the game could stop you from continuing it and casting it into an eternal limbo.
Otherwise I like the normal gameplay and skirmishes, but the tanks feel a little unresponsive and everything is a bit micro intensive.

First things first i love the game, concept and game-play, but the optimization in terms of performance is bad.
I am using an RTX 3080, AMD Ryzen 7 5800X with 32 GB of RAM and while Idle the game causes like 1.3 times the Temperature increase in my CPU than Total War Three Kingdoms does with both on max Settings.

Great light Rogue lite
The Devs are active with updating core Features.
This is a perfect timesink.

The Game would be good, if not for the missing quality of life mechanics.
Positioning is key and armor piercing attacks basically are required to kill any of the bigger bugs.
The problem is that you cant shift queue, which is desperately needed for good line of Fires and target priorities are missing.
Your Rocket launcher units constantly need to be micro managed otherwise they would just start shooting the fast moving closest enemy and miss while 3 other big ranged bugs are just killing your units.
Controlling more than 1 squad is just a nightmare and if you for example send 2 basic squads with attack move to any location they will die to any random warrior enemy since they will stack up and just not shoot but move closer toward the enemy since their line of fire is broken.
The Campaign is quite good but in total too short of an experience for 25€ and the 2 extra scenarios are just not balanced.
On a personal note i would have liked units just having 1 more passive experience tier. For example basic rifle squads exp lvl 6 switch to non-stun shotguns when enemies get close, rocket launcher guys pre-aim for moving targets, shock troopers get more speed or hp, the engies repair faster or take less damage while doing so.
Make abilities like grenades get used faster. we are not in 40k, where every unit is a tank, most of the time it was worse to throw a grenade, than to just continue shooting.
Make enemy melee units hit your units at the end of their animation instead of the start and reduce the amount of ranged enemy units are we fighting bugs or another nation.
Reduce the amount of your units changing movement direction to get in range of enemy units outside of attack range.

TLDR Too much missing(Shift queue,target prio,custom scenarios,multiplayer,map builder)

My experience with this game is a love hate relationship.
I hate that i love it so much i have around 4k hours in this game and i found a lot of nice people in it,
but as there are nice ones there have to be bad ones and what i found were a lot of rude ones.
For example in low ranking of new players exist a lot of smurfs, which are people of high skill and ruin the game for new players.
In low rankings of more experienced players exist toxic players, who just ruin the fun for everyone.
In mid rankings there are players that tell you what to do when they don´t know themselves what to do.
In high rankings the players get better and more aceptable and nice, but not all toxic players are gone.
If i wanted to have fun the easiest are the costum games, which are not really dota anymore, but it is just
great to have them(Even though Valve breaks them every update ; sad face ).
Alltogether i would recommend this game to players just on the basis of it costing nothing and the great content that it contains.
