Thank you for always working to improve your games. That is what makes me so loyal! I know that if there is a problem, you guys will take the time to fix it!

oh and....

A new patch, followed surely by another one. There is something planned for Christmas for NC too (and AACW won't be forgotten)

What about us BOA players? Any Christmas gifts for us?

The Legacy Patch for BOA...

[Dragoon!]

1809 Finland War scenario updated (loyalty and regions names adjusted)

Even with the loyalty change, it looks like military control in Sweden and Russia is still slowly changing in 1.02c


great scenario improvements in this patch! the 1806 got alot of good changes.
Thanks for the work!

I'm assuming it is compatible games started under 1.02? I ask because I received an order file that 1.02c isn't picking up (i.e. no paper clip). If could be an issue that the wrong file was sent, but I wanted to first make sure it should work.

The Legacy Patch for BOA...

What is this? Please tell us more!

[muddymonkey77]

Never mind. I found a thread discussing this. Thank you.

G'day all,
Should the version number on the start up page read 1.02 or 1.02c?

When I click on the icon to start the NC game...the game seems to freeze during the loading cycle of the first screen (black screen with the loading of the 1/3 to 2/3's on the bottom). This also happened to me in BOA after I downloaded the newest patch. Now after I control alt delete (my windows task manager tells me that the game is not responding at this point) and ended it and I try again it loads ok. I just tried it again today for Napoleon's Campaigns and the same thing happens.

There might be a mistake in the LocalStrings_NCP.csv (NCP Version 1.02c) ...

In line 2432 (stringName: evt_nam_SPA_Carjabal) the English text is

General Maceda is now available for command.

Same is true for the French text.

Shouldn't that read "General Carjabal" instead?

[PhilThib]

Thanks for spotting, will be fixed in next patch then

Are you under Vista?

Hello and good morning from my neck of the woods. No I am still using as an OS XP. When I fired up the game ACW last night to send back a turn to a friend of mine I noticed the same thing. I never had this problem before. Maybe it has something to do as the game loads up with the ageod screen which is the first thing that pops up any way I believe from the most recent patches? Since I don't see anyone else reporting this hmmm....strange. Thanks for your fast response...as always Pocus.

Pocus,

FYI, I am using Vista and the game runs just fine. I even won my first campaign a few minute ago. Wooo Hoooooooo!

I'm annoyed that you get this problem though... You can try removing the new screen and see if you see something else, but I don't think this can be this screen being the problem.

Look in the Graphics directory, there is something called FirstScreen.png

Hello Pocus, Well I moved the file out and tried it...did not work. I then moved it back did not work. Seems to hang at 2/3 engine loading and then goes to not responding message on windows task manager. In fact the game now does not start at all. Maybe I should I uninstall the game and just add in the newest patch. I do that sometimes as it is. Will let you know...what happens.

[Pocus]

ok, if it hangs again, can you do that:

a) change in the NCP\settings\general.opt file the entry
Logbatch = 100
to logbatch =1
restart
after it hangs, terminate the app, and show me the mainlog content please.

[Fouche]

Hello Pocus,
OK I will do that....but right now with last minute Holiday shopping...and other errands I will not be able to try what you suggested or what I want to do till Thursday at the earliest.

[color="Red"]Otherwise to you and everyone of AGEod...have a Great and Merry Holiday and Christmas...!![/color]
[color="red"][color="red"][color="SeaGreen"]Thank you all for a great series of games starting with the French and Indian War and the American Revolution to the Napoleonic Campaigns![/color][/color][/color]
