<t> Hi Berto,<br/>
<br/>
My friend and I did some PBEM testing today. We played a couple of turns in a test scenario and there was no problems with the replay function. I then reloaded what I thought was the last good .bte file from our big game. Replay worked okay and I played and then saved the ...

In the last 15 minutes I thought I'd take a look at the error log to see whether that had anything interesting, and it does (I think).<br/>

<t> Hi Berto,<br/>
<br/>
Thanks for the insight on this. Strange that it should suddenly start after 10 years or thereabouts. I confess to not noticing any old .bte files hanging around but then I do just normally save the new .bte file straight from the email program and overwrite any existing ...

I had the same stuttering problem a few months ago and bought a new graphics card that did nothing to correct it. Since then I've just been living with it, but now I see playing with the animation speed sort of cures it. Thanks guys.

<t> Strange one this. My friend and I have been playing EF by PBEM for many years but today we had an unusual problem. When I ran his turn there was no battle replay and the turn just started with "Battle Replay Over". I checked and his file was about half the size it should have been (based on his ...

Ah, I knew I must have been missing something. Thanks, Jason (and best of luck in your game of this scenario)

I've done a screen shot from my current game which gives details and shows the error message at the bottom.<br/>

Hi berto,

Cough, cough.

Installed version 1 and then upgraded to 2. All working now.

Nice work.

<t> Hi berto,<br/>
<br/>
<br/>
Your second question. I just ran the version 2 exe file without installing the original version 1 game. Did I do wrong? Should I go back and install from my version 1 CD and then apply the upgrade. Should I RTFM?<br/>

<t> Hi,<br/>
<br/>
I installed version 2 to the E:\ drive (to avoid confusion with earlier versions on C:). The install seemed to work but no launch icon was installed on the desktop. I tried running the exe files directly but they all fail to run because audiere.dll is missing.<br/>

I used to get this with Windows 2000 but not with XP. Basically I think it's a graphic driver problem which prevents switching back to your desktop colors after exiting the game.

<t> There's at least one standalone EF scenario with a problem but damned if I can remember which one it is. A bunch of infantry reinforcements arrive loaded on trucks at the top left of the map.&nbsp; The entry hex is surrounded by marsh/river and there isn't any way to move the units.&nbsp; Also ...

Maybe I'm missing something but how do you fire the flamethrowers on the German SPW 251/16 Flamethrower Halftracks? No matter what they only seem to fire their machine guns at anything, even infantry in the next hex.

FTP is nothing to do with the game. It's just a computer transport system to allow files to be downloaded from a server.
