RE: Game won't start

<t> Hmmm, I hadn't considered the AV software. Really the only one I use is the one that comes with windows. I'll look into it. I'm pretty hopeless with some of this stuff, as you can probably tell. Basically, I need stuff to work when I double click on it. If it doesn't, hoo boy, I'm lost. Windows ...

RE: Game won't start

<t> Hi! sorry, I didn't check this for a while. I don't think it is really installing. When I go to uninstall the game, Windows (Win10,) doesn't list it among the installed software. So I tried a utility called Glary and it doesn't find it either. What I do get is a folder with the typical Matrix ...

RE: Game won't start

<t> Oh yeah, I forgot to say: I went to the game folder and sent a copy of the icon to the desktop (to make a shortcut.) Just to see what happened. when I clicked it, Gimp 2.1 started! [:D][:D] So, I thought I did something wrong and I tried it again. Same thing! IDK, somebody knowledgeable please ...

Game won't start

<t> My game won't start. I bought it a few years ago and as far as I can remember, it has never run for me. So, I resolved to get it running, I mean I paid for it, I should get to use it. So, I uninstalled and reinstalled it. Same problem as before. The typical Matrix start menu comes up but no ...

RE: Launch Issues

I can't get mine to launch either. It used to run. I'm going to try some of the Win 10 compatibility modes.

RE: Destroyed Bridge question

In my experience, engineer units that don't have enough percentage points will repair bridges over multiple turns if you don't move them and if you order them to repair the bridge on each turn.

JCTS newb needs Win10 help

<t> I treated myself to some John Tiller games for the Holiday Sale at Matrix. When I play JCTS the menu bar that's supposed to be at the top of the screen isn't visible. Also, the function keys don't bring up the menues indicated in the manual but rather some weird microsoft stuff. I'm running ...

RE: avoid opponent turn visual movements

During the computer's turn, press the spacebar to hide the units from view and this will speed things up noticeably

Replacement Editor

<t> I apologize if this has been covered before. I haven't messed around with the replacement editor since COW days and I was curious about using it so I tried an experiment with the Korea tutorial titled "Tutorial." I edited the South Korean regiments so the had 32 AT- teams authorized and 6 M-18 ...

RE: Questions about Arty/Air/HQ/AP

<t> You ask tough questions. Can I reply if most of my answer is opinion?<br/>
1.) I like to use a lot of interdiction but I can't offer anyway to verify it's effectiveness though I do believe it is effective.<br/>
2.) I do bombardments, I think it's more effective.<br/>
3.) My use of higher ...

RE: First TOAW4 Tournament ( Join up thread )

Hi Chris, thanks man, I enjoyed our games though you beat me like a drum. Work got away from me and I forgot the screenshot, I'm not sure it matters now as Larry seems to know what's up, I still have it if it matters

<t> Hi Larry, Cfant and I have finished our mirror tournament games and he beat me soundly both times. you know, i played Elmer for 17 years and I thought I might be an ok player but Cfant definitely smacked me around. Embarrassingly I can't figure out how to attach a screenshot of the score. I'll ...

Tournament

The PBEM++ tournament is really fun. Much better than playing the computer! I played against user Cfant and he beat handily. If you want some better competition than Elmer, you should play PBEM++ games.

How are you guys using the equipment editor? Are you modifying existing entries or are you modifying the "new equipment" blanks?
