Thanks Hub6Actual, I had a feeling I was missing something with the bridge building process. I actually did somehow get a bridge started when I played with the scenario for a while but it was never getting close to being finished either.

WildCatNL your explanation makes me feel better but it also ...

On the 2nd turn of scenario 1 of the West German Campaign, "Leading the Way," the game crashed when I selected the hex for the engineers to build a bridge to over the Main from 1328 to 1527. Because of the crash I was unable to save the turn in progress, so I have attached the save files for the ...

I don't see not having enough rounds available being the problem, as all three batterries are at well over 200 rounds. Once I deleted the orders that weren't being executed, the barrages ordered were completed.

Sorry about that.

I certianly agree with Capt. Darwin. The game is not broken and the changes that add the complications are, to me, a definite improvement to one of the best war games (FCSS) I've ever enjoyed playing since I found Avalon Hill's Tacticts II and Gettysburgh when I was in the 8th ...

While playing scenario 4 "Revisiting Schotten" of the U.S. "Stop Gap" campaign, my 3 artillery batteries stopped completing the Barrage and Rest and Resupply orders they were given. On the Unit Dashboard for 1/SPA/2-6, Order 1 shows a barrage order given at 6:22. Amost 90 minutes later at the start ...

Success! Installing in E:\Matrix Games\Flashpoint Campaigns Cold War worked. For some reason it seems that using the E:Program Files or E:Program Files (x86) locations don't want to work even though it was my understanding that those were the places to put programs/apps. The permision to write ...

Thanks for the clarification. I was afraid that creation at the start was going to be the problem. I will continue to try and isolate posibble causes and try different installation techniques. If any new ideas arise I'm sure you will let me know.

Thanks

True, and I will be using the Steam version but I'd like to be able to use the version on my computer. No real hard reason, just what I've done in the past not having to rely one Steam.

Thanks for trying to help. I did register manually and get my steam key. I see that message every time a do a re-installation and have to uninstall what I just downloaded. My problem seems at this point to be a missing flashpoint.ini file. The game works fine if run it using Steam but if crashes ...

Sorry, I just noticed Captain Darwin's note about not being able to open flashpoint.ini. I looked at the install files in the E:Program Files\Matrix Games\Flashpoint Campaigns Cold War folder and there is no flashpoint.ini file listed in that folder.

As to your question about writing permissions to ...

I use Bitdefender for my ani-virus and Malwarebytes for malware. I turned the Bitdefender firewall off for down loading the installation zip file but have done nothing with the Malwarebytes.

I went to My Page and File Downloads, turned off fire wall, downloaded the zip, extracted the files, and ran the installer. The installer wanted to put every thing in C:Program Files\matrix games\Flaspoint Campaigns Cold War. I changed the drive to E: everything on my hard drive and ran the program ...

I will follow through with doing the download from MY Page. However, I originally downloaded it to the default location provided by the installer (E:Program Files\Matrix) and changed the drive from C: to E: But that was the didn't work. It was the first time I saw the problem, so I changed it to E ...

I originally downloaded from the Matrix website. Since I received the email with my serial number key, I have downloaded from the link in the email. I originally did not unpack the zip and double clicked on that to start the install. I have, since reading your reply, extracted from the zip and done ...

This morning I registered my game and got it posted to My Page where I could access my Steam key. After activating Cold War on Steam and installing it, I was able to access the game and play it. So everything works if use Steam but my direct download installation doesn't work as described above. Any ...

Thanks for the input. I found the serial in an email which I didn't originally look for because I expected it to auto register like usual. I'll have to try manually registering and see if I can get my steam key and see if that works.

I did finally get it uninstalled and tried installing it in E ...

I tried to reinstall the game but the installer forced me to uninstall the original installation. When I did that the installation required a serial number but I don't have one. I tried the Souther Storm serial number that I used the first time and I was told that was not valid. There is no entry ...

I down loaded and install my update package but when I try to run the game I get bug report. The bug report won't send because it wants me to create a profile on Outlook which I already have. (See attachment) When I close the bug report the opening screen appears minus the new game graphic. (See ...

When I saw this post, I played out scenario 1, Fog of War, and had the same issue with scenario 2, Tall Order. I followd your instructions and over wrote the files and was able to get a normal start up for Tall Order with the unit placement areas highlighted as usual and I was able to place units ...
