Ship Crew Injured, Not Healing

[Reposter]

Hi guys, I have fought 2 sea battles with Neutral Merchants and won, 1 with cannons the other by boarding, this resulted is 3 of my crew getting injured. I placed the 3 of them into the resting slots but nothing happens. I believe it is a bug, many steam users have reported this issue as well in the steam forums. I have a Surgeon on board as well.

 

Ok it is some sort of bug. I tested a few times and managed to get my healing of crew members to work.

Here is what I did:

1. I had a Cannoner, a helmsman and a cook injured. If I put all 3 into the resting slots, nothing happens.

2. I decided to put only 1 crew member into the resting slot (this means 2 of them are injured and are working under injury, which means -2 morale)

3. If I move around the sea for one day, my Cannoner starts to heal, using up some 5 medicine.

4. Then when the healing starts, I put my Helmsman he starts to heal as well after another day, taking up 10 medicine for 2 crew members in the resting slot.

 

Obviously the work around helps, I strongly believe it is a bug, for your attention please help.

Yep. Have medicine, and the resting crew (in the resting slots) never, ever heals. Some are still at "19 days wounded" after a month of sailing around in the rested slots.

Try letting the game give you a morale penalty for forcing the injured crew member to work. After that, plop him/her back into the reserve slot and they should start healing just fine. Right not, this is the only way to fix the problem.

Hello.

I registered to the forums to report this issue, i can see i'm not alone with this bug around here. The injuries going on and on, they stack, and the crew morale start to drop like hell. I hope this can be fixed pretty soon )

I am also seeing the same thing, letting the crew members work doesn't fix it for me, their injuries seem to increase if I do that, then if I put them in the healing slots, they go back to their original injuries levels, and won't drop any farther down. So I'm stuck with 3 crew which I can't use.

 

I hope this bug gets fixed soon.

 

Edit, using the latest steam version.

Question to you all: Is the number of injuried crew on top of the worldmap correct?

 

Do they heal after picking them up and putting them back to the resting slot?

Interesting, its decided to work after I reloaded a save and moved people around. seems they are now healing normally
