This page contains a list of known problems with WinACE. Updates will be posted as I become aware of them.

If the game does not connect, or becomes disconnected, you may have to exit the program and start it over again to try to reconnect
If the screen redraws while executing a path prompt, the red outlines do not redraw
If you right click to "back up" while executing a path command, the center line does not "undraw"
The territory option in the select sectors box does not always work correctly. Also, there is no way to set territories through the menus.
The client does not support flash, or inform options. These must be toggled off.
Toggle command is not on the menu, it has to be entered thru the comand window.
When the update aborts a command, client can "lose its place" and seem to freeze. You have to exit and restart program to fix this
When other countries share a bmap, the system shows small letters for each character, rather than large. This can cause some confusion.
When a ship carrying lands and/or planes move, the client updates the ship records, but not the land/planes. These still show as being in the original hex until their database records are updated.
When units are scrapped/scuttled, they are not removed from the local database until the next full unit update.
When you do a read and there are no pending telegrams, the "No telegram" message gets appended to your last telegram
Enemy Unit records are never automatically removed. You must manually hide or delete them.
When you reset the origin, the enemy sector and units X,Y positions are not updated.
