On the "PLAY Harpoon 3 Ultimate ANW" screen (The 1st screen shot you posted without the error message box)
click on Check for Update.
That did it for me.

wtf?
I'm getting the same thing, attempt reinstall did not work.

come on matrix, why would you do this to us?[:@]

<t> Amono, what did you find out from the manual?<br/>
<br/>
Also, how does one evade a Phoenix missile (or 2)?<br/>
I found myself having a hard time evading one, especially in darkness (not sure if ANW calculate darkness with missiles into it).<br/>
I know that Phoenix is intended for Bombers ...

<t> Bought 3.10, played a few scenarios in Westpac.<br/>
The game feels the same as previous version, but I'm sure a lot of codes been changed.<br/>
The game is quite complex, so it's hard for me to notice everything.<br/>
Got a few extra pictures for the database but I don't really care about ...

<t> To be honest, I'm a bit tired of waiting for Red Pill. <br/>
Red Pill is MUCH nicer looking than Harpoon (only with Screen Shoots).<br/>
But, I've decided to spend the money on Harpoon Ultimate and support the program here because Red Pill is just not coming out (except for screen shots).<br ...

<t> ANW 3.10. Playing the China side of "Defend A Friend" from Westpac.<br/>
Playing the China side is actually quite tough with heavy jamming and Phoenix missiles advantages on the US side.<br/>
So, I decided to use the west side of Taiwan (behind the mountains) as cover (as US carrier is on the ...

<t> Ok, I just bought Harpoon Ultimate (I already have the previous versions of CE and ANW, but I thought I support the developers).<br/>
Couple of things that I've noticed that annoys me.<br/>
1.. When the program starts, you're in the "Select Battleset" screen. On the bottom of the screen, there ...

<t> When I play some of the scenarios of ANW, I noticed that, for example, a squadron of F-4 Phantoms only has 5 extra loads of sparrows on a base.<br/>
so, say 12 Phantoms with 4 sparrows already loaded + 5 extra loads = 68 total sparrows.<br/>
<br/>
Here's the thing, I've never been in the ...

Is there a demo on this game? I would like to buy it, but need to make sure that it will run.

Thank you.

When's the Beta ?[:D]

<t> I accidentally discovered this thing called Global Conflict Blue 2. <br/>
I installed it, and it looked nice.<br/>
I don't care so much for the 3D, so I have it turned off, but other than that the interface is pretty slick.<br/>
I was googling around to see if any harpooner had opinion on GCB ...

Thank you : ) I'm In.

Came show one explain on how to play MBX? I'm a newbie on this.
If it is a board game then why do we need Harpoon 3.9.4?
Is there a manual?
I would really like to join the game, but need to know how much work is involved : )

I want to say I'm interested... but what MBX?

<t> Why is it that Harpoon ANW uses more CPU power than Harpoon CE?<br/>
In CE, I can load a big scenarios without any issues…<br/>
Is it just the engine? Or is it because ANW has more data that needs to be processed?<br/>
Harpoon ANW also cranks up the CPU usage every time I load it… a bit ...

<t> I wondered that myself while playing HC.<br/>
Harpoon ANW do not have this issue (most of the time), there's usually an extra long prep time or no weapon of required.<br/>
<br/>
In HC, I reposition the aircraft, just like you, because it lets me. Heck, it also has unlimited ammo for aircrafts ...

May be the F15 pilots got careless and flew too close and nailed by the tail gunner of Tu95. [:D]

I have a mac (using virtual XP to play Harpoon), it does not have the num pad either.
So I use the on-screen key board provided by Microsoft.

<t> hmm.. I always thought ANW and 3.10 is the same (except one is a beta)... maybe I'm not getting this version thing down right.<br/>
<br/>
I was playing 3.10 build 25 (now 26).<br/>
I used the players database.<br/>
<br/>
The scenario that I played was Operation Shield. Haven't replay build ...
