Re: Just purchased AB II but get black box for main menu

Does it happen if you reduce the preferred UI scale in the settings launcher? Try 1.0x.

Re: Game crashes at start

AB may or may not work on other operating systems, but officially AB2 requires Windows 10 or Windows 11. Mac is not supported and is not listed on the product pages.

Re: Game crashes at start

As far as I know, it's not possible to run AB2 on Mac because of their poor OpenGL support.

Re: condition - triggered function

There are no such triggers available yet, they will be implemented later. Now you can get creative with synced waypoints and set formation off-map times in the mission editor.

Re: Some questions about the game's realism


In the game, the off-road parameters are ineffective. Whether it's infantry with an off-road value of 100 or wheeled trucks with only 30% off-road value, their off-road speed depends solely on the terrain's speed modification coefficient. Also, the obstruction of streams to vehicles is ...

Re: Freeze+CTD on main menu

If your Surface Pro 11 has the Adreno X1-85 GPU it may not support OpenGL 4 that AB2 requires.

"The Qualcomm Adreno X1-85 GPU, with 3.8 TFLOPS of performance, supports OpenGL ES 3.2, the highest version of the OpenGL ES API it offers."

Re: How can I plan a move in the mission editor?

It's not possible to plan paths for units that are in their transports.

If you want infantry to move to forest or buildings for cover after they have been unloaded you can use the Defend command. The Pathfind SOP should be set to 'covered', and Formation can be 'free'.

Re: Issue with mouse position (Setup/LOS)

The issue is that on your AMD system the LOS and other graphics are rendered in wrong spots. As a potential solution I have now implemented a different way of rendering them, and it will be included in the next patch. Hopefully that fixes the issue.

Re: Rename units and re-order OOB

Units can be renamed in the unit specs window (press the Enter key when a unit is selected).

You can use a text editor to edit formation names in the scenario.xml file after you've saved a scenario.

Re: Changing the weather defaults

Each map has a defaults.xml file in its folder. There you can change the "terrain" and "temperature" values.

Terrain:
1 = Summer
2 = Winter
3 = Jungle
4 = Desert
5 = Autumn (late)
6 = Barren
7 = Spring
8 = Autumn (early)

Temperature:
0 = Extreme cold
1 = Cold
2 = Cool
3 = Warm
4 = Hot

Re: I have a Qustion about units fighting

Even when there is a line of sight between units they don't always spot each other. There are many factors that affect the chance of spotting something. When an enemy unit is 'known' but not yet 'seen' by a unit (each unit tracks its own sightings individually), meaning that friendly units have ...

Re: How to call a new database in steam version

AB2 reads custom databases in "Documents\My Games\Armored Brigade 2\data\database".

Also custom maps, scenarios, and campaigns should be in Documents.
