Thanks again for an amazing tournament. It was overall very enjoyable, and the mix of scenarios was well balanced. I believe extending the timeline to 3weeks each round really helped, especially for the last scenario.

One thing that came up again and again, more importantly in the last scenario ...

The VCRUNTIME140.dll and MSVCP140.dll are part of Microsoft Visual Studio 2015 redistributables. They might be used by the Matrix installer or by libraries that our game (indirectly) depends on.

Please find, download and install the Microsoft Visual Studio 2015 Redistributables by following this ...

Thanks for the quick reply. Will try with Matrix. All seems fine at the Steam side.

Hi, so I had to take a trip out of the country and I'm trying to make the game work in an old laptop.

The laptop is an old i5 from 2014, but it's using Windows10. I was able to install the game from Steam, but as soon as I click Play from the Launcher (that comes out after I hit Play from Steam) it ...

something similar to this?

Correct. It seems to be the very same issue when multiple waypoints. It usually changes to a much longer or later ETA, and often arrive earlier, sometimes even at the original ETA. It's very confusing ...

In terms of the added interface elements, a dialog or other UI element allowing the player to designate a particular area, select from basic mission tasks (secure, control, etc.), and potentially assign priorities would be useful. In this example, the "secure" task would mean that the unit would ...

Hi William. It looks like the same bug, but I'm not building any bridges in this scenario. Not sure what's the cause.

I'm experimenting really weird estimated arrival time bugs in the latest scenario of the Tournament.

At first I thought it was because of the transition night-to-day, but it is happening also when fully in daytime. It looks a lot like the estimated time when giving the build bridge order in ...

While I do agree it would be great to have more options and parameters for units, I also believe there should be a limit to the AI-fication or autonomous behaviors of units when given some macro directives. That would counter some of the tactical features of the game.

However, if the enemy force ...

I'm now going through the UK Campaign "Rats in Europe" and it is pretty fun. However, in Scenario 2 - "Fancy Meeting You Here", the Soviets seem to have not an ideal SOP setting that makes them go back a hex every two hexes （after direct fire losses）, making their assault far from ideal or even too ...

DIVM - not sure if you ever had Red Storm, but I have been hoping for a feature that was in that game to be porte3d to both Southern Storm and now Cold War https://forums.matrixgames.com/viewtopic.php?p=5075789#p5075789 so I think it may already have been JIRA'd


Never had Red Storm, but this is ...

I get it, makes sense.
It's just painful having your troops well positioned just to have them blew up their own cover as soon as a Reccon unit passes by. I would rather have them hold fire in "low priority" units if they are just passing through 1-2km away and only start firing once the main battle ...

I would love to have a third mode to show paths of all selected units or all units under the command of that unit (including that one). When having many units, I keep moving between the single unit Path and All Paths; but ideally having this third option would make life much easier and very ...

I'm a big fan of chaining movements and syncing whole armies for offensive movements, however when playing with one single monitor and dozens of units it takes a lot of back and forth and pop-up windows to do. I guess real life would be the same or harder, but it would be as simple as having the ...

I think it would be useful to add Thresholds for Fire Discipline or at the very least at "Unless" option.

Thresholds could work as a way to offset your fire discipline for the different kind of enemy units they might be facing (similar to how Fire Support has those thresholds for artillery groups ...

Hi, I had some ideas for Features Requests, I'll do my best to separate them in different threads to make them clearer.

First one: I wish Screen and Hold had the option to have a duration timer. That way we could set different SOP at different times without having to manually wait for our next ...

I think that combination of line of sight and effective range to count the number of subunits for the influence over VP points would be a good solution.
A limited number of path-to-VP hexes could be implemented, to avoid loopholes like destroyed bridges, so if a group of units is within line of ...

In my second MP round of the Winter tournament, I faced the same situation as in the first round, getting surprised by the score at the end of the game when one VP location is under enemy control just because he had a unit there 15 mins ago (that was destroyed by my Leopard next hex, that during ...

I attached the closest turn save to that time, at 09:54. Thanks!

We are a dinosaur of sorts in the 21st-century world of video games, with a thick, heavy (virtually) manual and a need to actually read to excel at the simulation. Simulation, not a game. Games since the mid-90s have become increasingly about flash over substance to appeal to the masses and make ...
