Are games begun under 1.04 compatible with the new version?

Are games begun under 1.04 compatible with the new version?

Yes, but wherever stored infos are wrong because of previous bugs, savegames cannot be corrected, of course.

This is true for:

- The "Supplementary Munitions" events have been corrected: they can now be both aloways played
- The icon of "Squalls" event is now like all other military events
- Fixed bug in the tooltips of air units
- The historical event "Death of Franz Joseph" can now occur only once
- Corrected labels in "Mutinies" events

plus, of course, all scenario corrections...

Works like a charm for me so far...no bugs encountered in the Palestine scenario...the only annoying thing is a short mouse freeze during music change. More testing to come...

[Bruit Bleu]

I put 1.05a, but my serial key is now invalid !
I uninstalled and reinstalled the game and the patch, but nothing changes, I can't play the game anymore...

[calvinus]

Everytime you install a patch over the unpatched game, you have to type again the serial key (WW1 Configurator).

Instead, if you install the patch over an already patched game, the Serial.ini file is not overwritten and so you are not asked to type again the serial key.

Tell me if something is wrong, so that I can check if the patch installer has not been properly created.

Thanks,
Calvinus.

The game freeze upon music load is caused by the IrrKlang MP3 play-back library. This library, that costed a lot of money (!), proved to be the best tool in terms of cost/benefits... The other solution was to pay 6000 dollars for the FMOD sound library......

I installed the patch over my 1.04g installation, and the serial did not change in the configurator, but was now "invalid" when I tried to start the game.

I uninstalled and reinstalled WW1, installed the patch 1.05a, and put my serial in the configurator, but it still "invalid" when I start the game.


Though, my serial is valid : I copied it in a .txt file and used it from an older installation.
I'll try to uninstall and delete all WW1 files and folders if they aren't during uninstallation.

I just tried to install the patch over a 1.04G, no problem with the serial key, the game starts working fine.

[Bruit Bleu]

I delete all WW1 files before reinstalling, but my serial is still invalid...

[calvinus]

I delete all WW1 files before reinstalling, but my serial is still invalid...

As I wrote, you have to launch the WW1 Configurator and type the serial key. You deleted all game files, so also the Serial.ini file where the key is stored. This is the reason why the game cannot be launched... it's not able to find the serial key anywhere!

Mmmmm..... if it says it's invalid, maybe it's in the black list..........
If so... why??? Send me a PM with your serial key. I will check it later when I go back home.
Send the PM to Phil too, maybe he can check it immediately.

[calvinus]

Ok, Bruit Bleu managed to fix the problem, the WW1.ini file was corrupted...

[Ian Coote]

Thanks for the patch.What happened to your picture? Did the wife make you change it?

[calvinus]

I changed my avatar. Before it was Brussilov, now it's Koltchak.

[Serpent77]

What about the correction of ahistoric russian flag? Nothing is said about it in patch improvements...

It's the first time I hear something about this...

Post here the flag correction proposal and we will do it quickly.

[tagwyn]

Koltchak? Isn't that the journalist who liked to hunt for Occult happenings on an old TV show? lol! apy:

[Sadek]

In french as my english is far from perfect. I report the same problem as Bruit Bleu.


Bonsoir,
je viens d'installer le patch 1.05a et je viens de rencontrer le même problème que Bruit Bleu. J'ai vérifié avec l'outil de configuration que mon numéro de série était inscrit, et je l'ai même réinscrit.

Si j'ai bien compris, pour lui le problème venait du fichier WW1.ini qui s'est corrompu. Je suppose que le problème est le même pour moi et que je vais donc devoir réinstaller le jeux.

A titre d'information, si ça peut aider, j'ai installé le patch 1.05a sur une version 1.04g moyennement propre (j'ai patché au fur et à mesure et j'ai installé la musique qui manquait au 1.04g en manuel).


Edit : problème réglé. La première ligne du fichier WW1.ini était la suivant :
5 [MISC]
J'ai viré le 5 qui ne semblait pas à sa place par rapport au reste du fichier et ça marche.

The one in the game I think was one for private/unoffical use I think.

[calvinus]

Nobody has seen or is appreciating the new feature "event cards discard"???

Also, have you discovered you have now 16 slots of event cards???

Exactement.

Chez moi, j'avais aussi une double section [MISC] dans le fichier WW1.ini où on retrouvait des informations différentes... Si c'est le cas aussi chez toi, tu devrais en faire une synthèse au début du fichier.

Let's hope everyone is busy playing the game.
