Hi,

Having trouble with Case Blue's PBEM++ system. Every time I click either button (create new account or use current login) the game crashes and dumps me back to the launcher. Any assistance is appreciated.

Sure thing, Vic.

Splash menu says "1.05", but in-game it's the most up to date (1.05V5, I think?) version available.

I've attached the dxdiag file to this post.

Thanks for any help you can provide!

<t> Hiya, Vic,<br/>
<br/>
Thanks for the tip, but I'm getting the same error/crash with all firewalls and anti-virus shut off. No idea what program could be running that'd be causing this, but I'll poke around a bit.<br/>
<br/>
Until then, the traditional PBe-Mail should do just fine. Was hoping ...

<t> I'm encountering a problem every time I try to open PBEM.<br/>
<br/>
It says I don't have an account, but every time I hit either of the "create new" or "use existing" buttons, the game crashes to desktop after an error message that just says "Barbarossa.exe has stopped working."<br/>
<br ...

<t> Yep; it's been a while since I last played the South either in SP or MP, so I forgot the finesse required and, more unfortunately, have gotten used to the Union's supply preponderance which makes the scouting issue worse as I couldn't actually afford the proper amount of cavalry needed.&nbsp; My ...

It's too bad you cannot just sail some gunboats up to the dock and suggest they surrender.

As if that would ever work. [8|]

Oh don't mine me, I can be a little dinghy when I'm having a maritime. You should take whatever I say with a galleon of salt, as my barque is often worse that my bite. I wouldn't want to torpedo a good conversation, as I usually try to play the ...

Playing multiple games as the Confederacy, I find rather difficult to get by without ramping up your industry in the early game.&nbsp; I usually expand to around the 50+ mark.

Yep.&nbsp; Building ironclads as the CSA is a wasted effort.&nbsp; You're better off building more artillery.

Some guys just aren't cut out for staff work.

Oh, I definitely don't plan on actually using this, I just found it amusing that I could make a loser like Twiggs into a 24-pointer with a few clicks.

Beating the AI with cheat-codes has never really sparked my interest.&nbsp; [:)]

Well, promoting people to Army command and Theater command doesn't carry a PP penalty, so...

Nonetheless, I did just do it again, and there is zero penalty to do so. McDowell, Scott, Halleck...all have 24 command points, now, for no cost.

<t> Discovered an interesting bug while playing single-player, today.<br/>
<br/>
I accidentally promoted the wrong person to army command, but had a slot open to promote another so I went to promote the "real" army commander...and "promoted" the same guy. Only, this time, when I "promoted" him, he ...

Some would say that's a shame. &nbsp;[:'(]

As a semi-related question to the AC discussion--is it possible for an AC to become a battle casualty?

<r> More crazy raids going on at the Circle K (Kentucky).<br/>
<br/>
I didn't have anything better to do with one of my cavalry leaders (Ashby, a rank 3) who only had a single cavalry brigade attached to him. Everything was scouted nearby, so I decide to send him along to make Kentucky pay for ...

<t> The problem here, WarHunter, is that I, currently playing as the CSA, am practically supplying about 1/4 of my army's supply needs via raiding.&nbsp; That is simply absurd, from all angles, and cannot at all be explained away by any manner of stories.&nbsp; No matter how good Forrest was (and I ...

As the CSA, I have "fired" a couple of commanders by strat-moving them past Union gunboats (and clicking yes after the op-fire warning).

For some reason, they don't come back from their little forays into the water...

Thirded.&nbsp; The videos have answered many of my questions when my own, inept stumbling about in the game hasn't quite sufficed.&nbsp; Great job on those.
