Download and install the 1.04 patch and then look at the last few messages in the thread titled While Screen of Death. I had the same problem.

Success at last! I applied the 1.04 patch and changed the windowed_mode to 1. All appears normal both in native and 1024x768 resolution. Many thanks for your patience and help.

Hi

Unfortunately that didnt work either. There was no Windowed code in the setting.txt file. I had to add it. I do have other programs that run fine at 1024x768. GOA is one that comes to mind.

Roger

I tried setting the display to 1024x768 but got the same error message. It appears that the game is not auto switching to 1024x768. Any other ideas or am I out of luck?

Roger

Hi Iain

Native is probably 1600x1024 but the resolution can be set to anything. Does the game require native 1024x768?

Roger

I am having the same problem on my Falcon XP laptop. I just bought the game and when I try to start it I get the error message : display does not support 1024 x 768. Even when I set it to that resolution it fails. Any ideas?

<t> Hi Vic <br/>

The amphibious attack was a marine division against a Japanese HQ and some infantry as I recall. Once the attack began it just blew by the normal 10 rounds and the counter just kept going into the hundreds. The game was frozen so I had to dump it. As to the AI ...

In the Even Steven Scenario I have run into two times when the combat routine would keep running into the hundreds without stopping and I had to quit the game. Playing as the Allies it happened once during my amphious attack and once when the AI was air attacking me.

A possible solution to that would be to allow them to exit but do an Event die roll to cover difficulties on the way out.

<t> I think there are legitimate situations where at least some aircraft should be able to bug out early. I have had cases where by turn two or three,&nbsp;a pilot was either too damaged to continue or was out of weapons. In reality they would RTB and not be forced to hang around subject to enemy ...

Thanks for the reply Dan. I assume then that the enemy responses will be in accord with same rules as the VASSAL module. In other words, no additional Computer type AI will be added.

How will this compare to the VASSAL version??

Did the same attack with the sound OFF and everything appears to have worked. The question then becomes 'what about the sound causes this problem'?

Tried the same attack again and this time got two error messages. The 'Device' message plus a second one which said 'The specified device handle is invalid.

Same problem. Occured during the combat resolution in Paris. Jan-Feb 1915. GOA totally frozen.

How will the PC version differ from the VASSAL module?

<t> I am having the same problem. I just downloaded GOA and when trying to access the manual I get nothing. Furthermore none of my other PDF files will open either. When I re-boot my computer everything is back to normal. I can open PDFs. Then when I try to open the GOA manual,nothing happens and ...

Would appreciate any comments on the re-playability of GOA.

There is a version 1.80 patch on The Patches Scrolls site. Don't know if its official.

All is well. The problem was that some other games I had, including FG, were registered under an older ID. Alex moved them over to the current ID and the patch download was successful. Again thanks for your help.
