Summary

0005645: Run the game with either of the WHDload options: Custom1=1 Custom1=2 or

Description

GameVersion: english,pal,2 disks
SlaveVersion: 2.1 from 09.02.2019

Run the game with either of the WHDload options: Custom1=1 Custom1=2 or Custom1=3
Use a normal joystick for player 1 - (port 1)
Start the game with human controlled North army (blue army) and CPU for controlling the South army (grey army).
Suddenly during the map after a few battles, you cannot click at all to select units and order them, but you can move the pointer normally.
The only way you can click on a unit to order is to use a CD32 Joypad with player 2 (port 0) and hit the "Blue button" on the CD32 pad, even though the game is launched for 1 player and was working fine just before the last battle.
The problem above does not happen when you start a game with human controlled South army (grey) and CPU controlled North army (blue).

note ~0013553 ztronzo (reporter) 2024-01-28 07:01	This happens to both armies, it all depends on which player is using the keyboard/mouse as selected in game menu options. Conclusion joystick/cd32-pad patch was not fully applied when attacking the forts/stations

note ~0014168 demiurgi (reporter) 2024-10-25 22:44	2nd player also always has to use the keyboard in the fort attacks. This introduces more issues with inputs sticking and being eaten. This sometimes makes even menuing impossible since the cursor keeps wandering. All these issues make the 2 player mode unplayable at the moment.
