I would be happly to take a look a the patches, but I cant really commit to a time or a schedule.

We're talking about scenario creation/regeneration saves of the .scn file NOT normal scenario game saves of a game in progress involving the .hst file. ...

3.) Fix whatever it is that keeps the focus of the game start from moving to some far over area of the map, currently Iowa. This is ridiculous for an American Civil War game which aside from specific battle scenarios should primarily be focused on the Northern Virginia area when the main game campa...

Shouldn't the second SelectRegion be Iberville, LA also so the unit arrives in New Orleans?

As far as the database is concerned (and even event syntax) the two terms are interchangeable. i.e. remplacements = replacements Remember AGEod is a foreign company and a few spellings are quirky...

Scenario creation errors with 1.14c. After installing 1.07h, patching with 1.14 and installing 1.14c code patch (with and without QF6), I am receiving the following script errors using the generic scriptA61.ini file. Scenario creation is successful with 1.14 patch only. The 1.14c patch install seems...

Just like Johnston relieving Pemberton at Vicksburg! :rofl: Pemberton should not have been in command at Vicksburg due to inexperience and Johnston was too timid.

:D As a personal comment... IMHO forts ar not too interesting in AACW. I rarely build them, except maybe some with the CSA on the big rivers to block naval movement. I don't think i have ever built one with the USA. Forts were beginning to get outdated by the AACW times... armies deployed on 100 mi...

I totally agree. I just want to make sure you knew that there was only one image file when you correct the event text typos.

Gray_Lensman wrote:Unlike the specific descriptive ...txt... links the image links can be used in multiple events.

The image file name might have been more descriptive if it was something like,
Event-img_CMN_SamHouston1861 to indicate it is used by both CSA and USA.

I believe 'evt_nam_USA_SamHouston1861' should actually read: evt_nam_USA_SamHouston1861|1|2|evt_txt_USA_SamHouston1861|Event-img_USA_SamHouston1861|$Kaufman, TX|123 thus referencing the USA event text and image. There doesn't appear to be a USA version of the image Event-img_USA_SamHouston1861. The...

I believe Pocus gave an example of something like that recently in one of his posts.

I have some issue with how the game decides who 'wins' and who 'loses'. It is totally obscure, and often leads to poor results, of which this is a gross example. I suspect there are a few flaws in the method. Not having access to the algorithim, I don't have a clue what those flaws are. IMHO this a...

The command of the division goes back to whenever Lee re-organized the AoNV after the Seven Days. Remember he couldn't form Corps, so he had to form "Wings". Jackson led one Wing, Longstreet the other. Winder took over Jackson's own personal division until a cannon ball tore his left arm off and pu...

Now back to the Guild Press CDROM... Is this online or is it a CDROM that can be ordered? If so, do you have a link?

Outstanding that you found these records, but there's a problem here... All these records refer to him here as indeed being a Division leader, but they are also all dated on the day he was killed. Kinda makes it hard to have him in the game, if he is made a division leader the same day he was kille...

Hey Gray, You might be fighting a losing battle :bonk: The Mobility Radeon 9000 is a directx 8.1 card; http://ati.amd.com/products/MobilityRadeon9000/index.html edit> Your dxdiag output confirms this, ... DDraw Status: Not Available D3D Status: Not Available ... These status should be Enabled

Hey Gray, Here's a couple of thing I would try; I took another look at your dxdiag output and noticed you are running service pack 2. You might want to install SP3. I would uninstall the Omega drivers and try these from AMD, http://support.amd.com/us/psearch/Pages/psearch.aspx?type=2.4.2&product=&co...

ShovelHead

Laptops can be particular about what video drivers work. I would stick with the drivers on Dell's website.

Have you tried the DirectX diags, windows\system32\dxdiag.exe ?

Did you get the latest version?

I was playing the Confederates against the AI. Occurs the second gameturn everytime. I'll post a saved game if needed.
