Re: World in Flames - does it run under Wine?




Does World in Flames work using Wine or Codeweavers Crossover?

Thanks!


moving around the map the screen refresh is a bit too laggy



Does anyone know a solution to the lag mentioned? It is not like a game breaker, but would enjoy more without it.

MWIF is correct. There is no path for the Mosul oil available. There is only 1 CP in the Arabian Sea, thus allowing only 1 oil to be send out of Iraq overseas. The railroad is blocked, since Syria is ...

Re: Hot Patch version 05.00.00.10

You don't actually need the 04.02.00.00 update to install the 05.00.00.10 hot patch. This is just a minimal requirement.

Instead, you can install the Beta Update v04.04.01.00 (WorldInFlames-UpdateComp-v04.04.01.00-BETA.zip) from the Members Area or Store Page, and then update with the 05.00.00.10 ...

Re: 5.0.0.10 - Cooperation bug with territorials

Ok, as best as I can determine, the reason British Somaliland doesn't appear in the Relations list is because it's not a country. It's a territory!!

Does this also explain the odd behaviors I'm experiencing with the lack of cooperation with it's territorial unit. Just because it's a territory ...

5.0.0.10 - Cooperation bug with territorials

Somethings up with some of the Territorial Countries. Check out this example. The CW (UK) 7-3 unit cannot move and stack on the British Somalian 1-2 territorial unit. Neither, can the Indian 4-3 unit. The game thinks these units cannot cooperate. I think they should as both are Major Power CW units ...

Re: Game won't save when reloading after Vichy Declaration

I just tried the save posted and I cant reproduce this bug either. If you can still reproduce the bug, then your going to have to provide the precise detailed steps that cause the issue.

If Steve can't repeat the bug there is little chance he can fix it.
