RE: reinstall issue

<t> Thanks for the replies. Am I correct, that to reinstall the game I need to go to the registered "member" section and install the beta which it takes me to? Trying that in myriad combinations, I'm now getting a generic mwif.exe has stopped working error. My larger question is, to reinstall from ...

reinstall issue

<t> Hey folks - trying to get back into this game, after having played it very early (day 1). I reinstalled the latest from July 15 and am getting the rtl140 is missing error when I try to start. Nothing special about my install, other than the fact that I'm running it from a secondary hard drive (e ...

RE: Woo-Hoo 1.06 is here

Very cool - these fixes may well correct the two bugs which had bitten me in my first couple weeks of play. Time to get back at it.

Thanks Steve.

Naval abort issue

<r> Been doing pretty well, error wise, during my recent play. Today I ran up against the "Please wait, updating Units in Hex panel." again. This was a very small, simple, naval interception by the Brits against an Italian transport, which the Brits easily managed to destroy. For some reason, the ...

RE: naval abort queue issue - can't select

At the time, I tried every combo possible for the 8 or so units that were available; regardless of these combinations I wasn't able to abort. Good news is, I haven't seen anything like this again through many of hours of play. If it occurs again, I'll definitely be back with more details.

RE: naval abort queue issue - can't select

<t> Okay, now I'm frustrated. I clearly have a messed up Western Med, as I've duplicated what I described. Think I'm going to take break. It's tough when you can't see what leads up the issue, and worse still there's no way to bail out of the form without killing the game and restarting.<br/>

RE: Problems with the different windows

<t> Slightly different gripe from me, but related - in my two monitor setup, all other saved windows behave perfectly except the hated MV window. It's the little guy which holds map saves, which ALWAYS wants to pop onto the main map, every time you cycle. Honestly, it's the only part of the game so ...

RE: Ground Strike not cycling through main map

<t> Should have looked more closely - the actual issue appears to be that it won't let the artillery unit activate the attack in ground strike. I'm pretty certain the unit should be able to, and in fact in this case it's the only unit which the game is stopping at this process to allow action. <br ...

Ground Strike not cycling through main map

<t> This is a very minor quibble guys, but on occasion the "cycle through" process (red arrows which rotate through available units) doesn't function for a particular phase or country. The most common example I see is with artillery during ground strike selection. It will let me select the unit, it ...

RE: naval abort queue issue - can't select

<t> One other possible clue - when I mouse over the ships I'm trying to select for the abort, the gray bar in the "command" box, or whatever it's called, shows a mouseover message of "Air units remaining to be setup for current setup location". There is one aborting Baffin sitting on the Ark Royal ...

naval abort queue issue - can't select

<t> After fight in the Western Med, with the Italians convincing the Brits to abort, there's no way to move any of the 8 aborting Brit ships to the right side of the form. When I click OK, I get the "you must select one unit...". I tried various combinations of ships, but in reality it was an ...

Tutorial 7 graphic issues

Having fun inching my way through the tutorials, as a complete novice to this game. Great so far, but there are incorrect screenshots in Tutorial 7 related to weather and impulses. Text doesn't match, and then the screenshots are repeated later where they're supposed to be.
