---> AACW 1.06 Patch <---

[arsan]

Hi!!
I´m back from a little holidays and checking how my favorite game is faring.
It seems its doing well! Thumbs up for Athena!!

From what i understand this new 1.06 is still beta and have some problems (the mixed up save/next turn button its one of that little things than can be very frustrating…)

But Pocus… will we get a “real” 1.6 patch with this and the double Semmes and music volume fixed before your vacation Or… waiting for Philipe Thibaut to come back means we wont have it until august?
Just to know if it’s better to wait a little to begin a new (and this will be the definitive one!! until victory or death!!) campaign.
Cheers!!

Hello richfed,

How was the install time of 1.06 ? Was it better after a fresh install ?

I remember you were also seeing as I was an install update time of 20 - 30 minutes. I updated yesterday to v1.06 & it took 35 minutes to install. Again, I have Vista OS and all the previous updates, prior to 1.04, took mere minutes to install.

Hey Guys,

Have Vista Home Premium and installed 1.06 in about 5 minutes. Have yet to play it though leure:

Hello Prussian Prince,

I also have Vista Home Premium OS and like I stated earlier up to v1.04, my updates were between 2 - 5 minutes also. Now, for the life of me I, along with richfed, cannot figure it out .

I know when it hit the GameData/Regions Folder, (this actually took 21 minutes for this folder alone), it slowed to a crawl. This time the GameData/Units Folders only took 2 minutes to update where v1.05 took alot longer to install.

I guess the bottom line is how well the game plays with the new patch and not so much as how long as it takes the patch to complete its install.

This is still one helluva game even if it took 1 hour for a patch install

I would be curious if anyone else with Vista started to experience the patch install time increase like we have.

PS.. Defrag runs every morning scheduled.

can confirm that

speaking of which, has anyone had this happen? I had semmes basically shot out of the water running the atlantic blockade, he was wounded, and ended up at a english controlled island...in the caribbean. I was unable to have him picked up by a ship so hes going to sip rum and read about the war :} if the logic train is <send wounded leader to nearest port> it should be a port you can access.

regarding the 1.6 patch, game runs much faster now, I also am not having any CTDs besides the very rare, and random texture CTD. prior to this patch the game would crash randomly this even after I edited mem usage etc etc. btw I have a number of games I run, typically FPS with no problems related to my video card. this is the best patch yet imo, AI is better. Im not sure im buying into the "AI used command functions effectively now" statement however. I still see stacks with big out of command penalitys. the AI is however doing things in my current game that I had not seen before so all in all im impressed.

next turn button now(bugle on left) returns user to menu while return to menu button executes next turn(far right button).

I notice ai units starting to amalgamate rather than running around in panic mode(They should panic:Mobile and NO lost,Corinth lost, KY and most of TN in union hands and Grant closing in on Memphis;ring of fire encircling Richmond and it is only March62)

Patch installs quickly and turn goes fast(bit too fast as I like to watch the units moving around).

You can set this delay under Options.

Did you fix the problem with the save game and end turn buttons being reversed?

Lost 2inf (3 regts) and 2 arty in Rolla MO when I detached them from a division that went reb hunting. They just weren't there next turn(26 in the april campaign as union). No sign of this happening with any other units. Duplicated this problem 3 times from a save game which I lost amidst all my testing so I've nothing to send in. This was a continuation from an ongoing game, not a fresh start. I had a good fiddle with this problem detachment. Split them up and rejoined them, flipped orders around, moved them into the countryside to lose their entrenchment before plopping them back inside the city. A strange thing about this stack is that when placed back inside the city their original entrenchment level was reinstated - never saw that happen before. No sign of this behaviour elsewhere but I wondered if anyone else had come across this rogue dissertion problem.

One other item I had a problem with was 2* Sumner taking over Shermans corps whenever I place him in Shermans stack - doesn't happen when Sumner(or any other division commander) placed in any other corps. Sumner was present in the same stack when Sherman got his promotion from division commander and this obviously rankled. Pretty funny really.

Sumner is probably senior to Sherman.

I finished a game with a nice little CSA victory in February 1864. Beat the Yanks through demoralization, though it was touch and go in 1863.

Anyway, no major bugs noticed, other than the little things I've mentioned in this thread. No Generals disappeared via events - well, Cooper was in Richmond because he retired. Lost Early, Price, and another general by battle deaths, but nobody - other than Belle Boyd & Cooper - were removed by event.

I was sorry to see the game end!!! Time to go at it again!

Just found another 2 cases of disappearing units after installing v1.06. I detached 1 militia with 1 arty to defend Decatur while the division there advanced on Chatanooga(T29 as union player in april61 campaign). Also detached 1 militia from a division to hold Fulton while said division headed south towards Meridian. After turn resolution(same turn I stormed Richmond which the ai left weakly defended, having given priority to Petersburg)Fulton and Decatur were empty. UFO's strike again. I tried this again from my saved game turn and the same thing happened. This looks like a detachment bug. Will try again detaching brigades etc and see if the game just doesn't like detached militia and arty. This does not impact existing garrisons anywhere else, just recently detached units.
