Historically at the beginning of the war AA guns weren’t effective against bombers flying at high altitude. Later it became a technological race between avoiding flaks and reaching targets.

My guess is that WaW assumes that Bombers could fly high enough to avoid efficient Op-fire against AA guns ...

Well, I was afraid of that kind of answer, and it doesn’t make me happy. That’s unfortunate because all my games from Matrix and other publishers works perfectly fine, including Armored Brigade 1 and other 3D games like the Troop and Second Front.

I bought the game from Matrix instead of Steam ...

Hi,

When I start the game, I got this error message: "ERROR: map shader program failed to link. Implementation limit of 16 active fragment shader samples (...)", then the game closes. Apparently, my system is using 31 samples.

Can't run it, I'm using a Windows 11 ARM with Parallel Desktop on a ...

Ah ok! I didn’t know that.

I sent you a PM two days ago, but it is still in the outbox. Each time it seems to take a couple of days before being sent. I opened a ticket to Matrix, but until the problem is solved, just to let you know, I’ll be out of town for the next days, so it may take longer to play my turn.

I could connect the next day.

Why the clue four? Was there any confirmation from 2by3? Considering the other clues and hints from Matrix not long ago, I would have thought that Steel Tigers was the best contender. I'm even thinking something like the WitE of the tactical game.

Do you have an error message, something like “missing library”? This may sounds bizarre, but if you have another AGEOD game like Rise of Prussia, you can try to reinstall it. Unfortunately I don’t remember the details, but I know one of their game didn’t work until I installed another one (probably ...

Gary's been working on a couple of new game designs, but nothing along the lines of WAW. Sorry to disappoint, but no plans at this point to revisit the global WWII topic.


No need to have a new WaW, this game shines because it's the beer & pretzel game of Gary Grigsby. A new version would ...

Hi,

I can't connect to the server, I get the message "Serial Info failure error [99]". On the status page, all servers are ok.

I tried to do the same but it disnt work for me.

did you paste it one space further from the "=", like " Serial = XXXXX-XXXXX..."?


Yes including the "-" character. Did you give to your windows user all access to the "Wars in America" folder? I had to do that to make it work.

No problem, play when you can.

I don't remember when I discover Matrix Games nor with which game.

Grand strategy is my way to go now. I also play War in the East 2 but I prefer simpler, hard to master, game.


I remember exactly when I bought my first Matrix Games: it was in july 2005 and it was World at War! (Then AWD ...

Hi ncc1701e,

I replied to your PM, but the message is stuck in the outbox. From the server status page, some Matrix servers have issues since April 25. It impacts PM, as well as PBEM. You can start a game, I can play the Axis, but not sure if we'll be able to play until the outage is over.

Same for me

Hi Lebatron, thanks for your great work.

@ncc1701e: I sent you a PM.

Ok, yesterday I had to reinstall my user on my PC as issues occurred after the repair (as it is almost always the case ).

In my case, "guess" is probably the right word!

Ok tonight I’ll check how this work, but won’t be available to start the challenge. More chance tomorrow evening.
