After setting up all the units the game would then do the DoW and have Germany and Italy DoW USSR. It would then just continually cycle the DoW and wouldn't let us play.

Same thing happened to me, but I ...

@Michael Knight - hear hear, that was my experience, too.

<t> RAID 1 is quite fast, since the data needs only to be read from a single disk. Without knowing the model you have I can only directly compare with my own, which is a Netgear ReadyNAS. This is apparently spec'd to write somewhere between 16 and 50 MB per second, so substantially slower than a ...

<t> Do you have your NAS arranged in a RAID-5 configuration (rather than a mirrored RAID)? This configuration, which is typical for a home NAS (and many business ones as well) for data protection, is fast at reads but slow at writes, because the data has to be striped across multiple disks.<br ...

<t> The simple reason is that a NAS uses TCP/IP to communicate with your computer, which is much much slower than a SATA link between your RAM and a spinning disk. If you have a Solid state disk, these are that much faster again than HDD because there are no moving parts.<br/>

Super. [:)]

<t> I still get kicked out of the Netplay forum after 2.5 minutes. I haven't tried this (I'm at work at the moment and have only just thought of this), but has anyone who is experiencing the problem tried launching the game in safe mode? If the Netplay problem didn't occur in that situation, then it ...

<r> If I open the Netplay forum and do nothing. MWIF crashes about 2 and 1/2 minutes later. It throws a MadExcept and windows simultaneously displays an Outlook Warning that a program is attempting to send an email (I think this is a standard security feature of Windows). Is the failed attempt to ...

Ha, ha. I must be blind.

Steve, you might like to tell people how to find the version number. I'm not too bright, I'll admit, and it took me some time to find it in the help menu.

<t> I bought it and paid the ludicrous $50 Australian for the postage. I really want the game, but honestly I would have preferred to have done without the manuals, even if it meant paying for them and not having them delivered. Delivery adds 50% to the cost, and that really sticks in the craw. I ...
