Is it a game started after the tweaks to the rails?
Another thing I saw, (I have played only 4 turns mind you) in the 1862 campaign is that maybe the AI doesn't know how to organise its troops correctly, but I saw a massive force in Virginia, made up of many divisions, not integrated in a corps structure (it was something like 48 cps out of 15 allowed).. Since the Division command thing seemed broken and I had other things to do I did not play on, but I was itching to Crush it with my ANV...
this would mean that there is no nearby army, or that the stack had not rank 2 generals... To be improved sure, but perhaps in 1-2 turns the stack would had transformed itself into a corps (and then the corps would eject too numerous units). That is a recurring problem with AIs, they can do things, but often are slower in sequential processes, whereas we can plan in advances how to hasten complex things.
Anyway, the main bug is cleared (divisions reverting to brigades). Now I would need a saved game showing a unit without the right portrait.
About the Berverly region, I checked in game and there is a railroad in the tooltip, so the problem is there.

1.045 current saves and one backup.
Ft. Henry.Donelson
--you will find G. Thomas Corps - all subordinate formations are brigades but are supposed to be divisions; Prentiss, French and Ricketts. Also, all portraits are wrong. The symbol is the HQ symbol, not the leader.
Bowling Green provides another fine set of examples under the Western Command. More examples abound map wide.

Railroad errors:
Somers, PA. No RR Graphic, but the region is tool-tipped as railroad.
Hendon, WV. Has RR graphic and region is tool tipped as RR.

I see.
The divisions reverting to brigades bug is fixed, I will post an update to this special 1.045 version in a couple of hour.
RR problems will be reported to the database master
As for the leaders portraits, we believed it looked cooler to show an officer image (the HQ portrait) and not black faces... What do you guys believe? This was done on purpose, really !

yes, the update will only be to fix the bug on divisions reverting to brigades though, and now all scenarios and campaigns are on the new format.
As for the leader faces, they are at last coming! But until they are done we believed it was better to use this picture, now that divisions HQ are gone. Perhaps it is confusing with Army HQ though.

Hope it won't appears again, this is an unwanted side effect of divisions reverting to 'special' brigades, but if you get some like that in 1.046, please report.
Here is the link to the new update, for whose willing to test the new rules (and again many thanks for your zeal!).

Fixed the bug on divisions reverting to brigades
All scenarios exported to the new format.
A new setting to try, for whose with a game underway with the old HQ format. Open the ACW\Settings\General.opt file, and add this entry at the end of the file
DivHQ = 0
Then you should be able to continue playing with older games. This would be rather neat so that the Grand Campaign (6 players PBEM) can continue while being able to stay patched.

The image issue isn't a big one to me, though I'd have preferred to keep the old blackened leader faces. Maybe we can find a new use for the old Division HQ graphics, a new unit that's helpfull but not game winning (meaning not going to be a problem if the ai fails to learn how to use it).

Ah very nice!

The game runs correctly after the patch, just tried it... but I see that the errors you get are from files which are not up to date. The best and safer thing would be to delete your working copy of AACW 0.146 and create a new one (if you have duplicated the standard 1.04 to test 0.145 as recommanded?).
If no, uninstall and reinstall the game as usual, then patch it.

A last minute error with some general references, this is corrected now, you were supposed to get Ruggles and Whiting.
To all: download again 1.046, this issue is fixed in this version.

In both 1.045 and 1,046, newly started 1862 scenario, I receive Confederate generals while playing the Union. Just fire up the scenario and check Pope's wing command, Burnside's command, and Franklin's corps.
I have also noticed that the division graphic does not display with the division on the map, nor does a division with a portrait. Same scenario, move any non portrait division into a separate stack - the graphic shown is not the division graphic, but one of the more generic uniforms. Same thing with a portrait division. You can easily see it with Heintzelmans's corps.
Hope this helps.

1.046 thread
You might want to sticky a new thread for the 1.046 patch so we will all know where to go to redownload the patch.
playing April 61 as CSA, early turns. I give price a Division, my first under the new system. The tooltip says I have 1 division in the field with maximum of 3 yet my roster shows no division. After creating Prices' division the tooltip says 2 in the field with a maximum of 3. The roster now shows only the one division under Price. Where is my invisible division?

My bet would be a game began before 1.04, and a database not edited.
Sorry about the confusion with the screen shot, it was Beverly I was trying to point out.

Have made a new Beta copy and everything now seems ok (i.e., game loading)...Thank you sir.
Seems there is a new problem in 1.046. I just started a new game as the Union and received a bunch of 2* Generals in Late April 1861 at Washington DC, here's a screenshot.
P.S.: I actually backed up a save from a previous version, will rapidly start a fresh one to see whether the same will happen.
