Very pleased with that as it goes. I found the missions particularly tough going. I had never managed to complete the British campaign before for some reason - possibly my losses were too high? I'm not sure why it quits - maybe I lost a couple of battles, I can't remember now.

Why can't the patches be set up to patch an existing game and just have both players agree that some of the rules have changed?

It is quite frustrating to have to wait for games to end. Always have new games starting. Right now, I have two 1.1 games going, and one 1.2. So can I have 3 instances of Global on my computer at once (adding a 1.3)?

Even if I can, it will be very confusing to remember what rules apply to what games. I'm going crazy (short ride). I appreciate the continued improvement of the game, but this makes it a pain as well. Seems we never finish a game because we always quit in favor of the new patch. ]]> Strategic Command - GLOBAL CONFLICT david12345 http://www.battlefront.com/community/showthread.php?t=93027 http://www.battlefront.com/community/showthread.php?t=93026&goto=newpost Thu, 02 Sep 2010 14:36:52 GMT Hello. still got a game of 1.1 going, so maybe this has changed.

China has surrendered, but is getting partisans. Foochow has had 2 pop up, and I just got one to pop up next to Chinese capital.
How is it that partisans are popping up after surrender in places that they can't while china is in the war? I hit the p key, and neither tile where they popped up has a P without the line through it.
is this right? has it changed for the 1.3?

thanx

My basic question about the editor ...

Let's say I want to make a simple, single player attack/defence style scenario. One of Brit/US/Canuck vs German in Normandy (or Brits vs Germans in north Italy, late 44) with a small set of fixed forces. I want one side to be the static defenders (let's assume that these will be the AI) and one side to be the attackers.

The attackers will win if: They reach a specific objective point on the map (a trigger?). [Maybe, also, the defenders win if they eliminate certain units or a % of the attacking forces.]

Ignoring the creating the map part, how easy is this to create?

Thanks. ]]> Theatre of War DaveyJJ http://www.battlefront.com/community/showthread.php?t=93025 http://www.battlefront.com/community/showthread.php?t=93024&goto=newpost Thu, 02 Sep 2010 12:45:45 GMT I'm playing a really large map with a horizontal wrap. It would be nice to have LAT/LON lines that could be toggled on and off.
They could either be representative of the game grid or use something like actual Earth like LAT/LONs with and an Equator and the International date line at the wrap point.
A really nice feature would be it the lines automatically zoomed in relation to the map zoom. Long distance views with 100 or 200 unit grid lines and 5 unit grid lines when zoomed in.

Just thought I would let you know there is a major problem with the latest Nvidia drivers. :( This one causes a random CTD and/or lockup resulting in a hard reset. There's no particular pattern either. I have to use the latest driver because I've got a dx11 460GTX which isn't recognized by earlier drivers.

I received an error message just a minute ago, saying that due to an 'Nvidia Open GL problem with the driver it had to reset'.

The series improves with each game/addon and I have loved them all. I am playing my first multi-player with Happy... and it's been terribly fun.

Keep up the good work and I look forward to enjoying your future work.

My friend and me we both have ToW 1 with the uberpatch installed, so we both have the 1.10.0.81. version.

I bought on CD, the Kalypso English version a while back then patched recently. My friend downloaded from Steam his verison already patched up to 1.10.0.81.

Single player for both runs fine. But when we tried multiplayer it did not seem to work:

- Game created fine, my partner joins me fine. When the game is loaded after a few seconds whomever has joined the game crashes to desktop. We tried first me hosting and then him hosting. In both cases whomever joined crashed after a few seconds following loading of scenario.

- We both used hamachi IP network to connect. First we tried direct TCP IP (virtual IP), and then we tried Network connection. Both types of connections worked fine with hamachi, but in both cases we had the same crash after loading of scenario.

- The scenario chosen was Steel rage

- We also tried connecting to the server (Internet option) and I could create a game fine. My friend saw the game but when he tried to join the system timed out and could not connect. The same happened to me when he created a game in the server.

Man, I think we have tried everything... any ideas?

PS: forgot to mention after the uberpatch install I started to get a "missing CD" error that I solved by downloading the ToW_1.exe from here: ftp://ftp.1cpublishing.eu/Theatre_of_War/ToW.exe I can play single player fine, but for multiplayer would this be the reason of the crashes?

Deep simulation, but I have to say the manual sucks....can hardly read it it is so small...and some things not covered. So have a few questions on controls I'm hoping someone might be able to enlighten me:

1) It says 'double left click' on a figure/vehicle to have it and its unit be highlighted: when I do this, nothing. How do I get to select the enture unit? Especially important for infantry when they are in close proximity with other infantry units, and I want to only give orders to that unit. Help please.

2) Is there a way of seeing your orbat during a battle: I want to check to see what I have in total...how do I call that up quickly without zooming right out and drawing a HUGE rectangle around the map to select every unit?

While I have your attention, if I may, a few graphics questions: I have crossfire ATI 5970s, using Catalyst 10.7 drivers. This seems to currupt my mouse pointer; ghosts and generally scrambles the mouse pointer in game. Are there some no-nos with an ATI card? Do I have to turn off something in the CCC anel, like Catalyst AI for example? Are there any tricks with using an ATI card and ToW2 Kursk graphics? Grateful any help on this front.
