<t> I've seen this happen with mortars. I did some tests but as it was years ago...[;)] Anyways this was bit weird bug. Even if it sounds odd I think it was related to visibility. Say, spotter distance from mortar is longer than visibility and it was impossible to shift fire. Selecting that firing ...

If memory serves right you'll have to keep an infantry unit full turn in the same hex as the abandoned vehicle.

RBWhite, guess you can count yourself lucky [:D]

However, I've seen more than one game faq that report problems with various older Intel chipsets, including 810. They are usually related to lack of proper DirectX support.

<t> Or just try 'quick start' from spwaw start menu, it points directly to mech.exe. [:'(]<br/>

You motherboard actually may be the culprit. Do you have DirectX9 installed? DX9 is a requirement for spwaw. Intel's 810 is an old chipset and it may lack proper support these days.<br/>

The movie files reside in \snd\stream subdirectory and they are smacker files. I think you can get a free smacker viewer if you do some googling..I used to have one but deleted it a while ago.

Is there anyway to expand the game into the *HUGE realm*? I mean, a map 500 times the size, 50 times the amount of units, a little smarter AI, not AI AI too smart just a little smarter, designating command over to AI only intervening when ...

You might just want to remove SPWaW completely and reinstalling. Maybe all that trouble with viruses and such caused some corruption. For example, it might be that some sound file used in vehicle hits is broken.

Did you play against Soviets? If you did, then it is normal behaviour for Soviets, they have this special ability to improve their suppression state.

Make enough posts [:D] And no, I do not know how many you have to make to achieve a given rank.

<t> Vincent, if you can check the refresh rate while playing SPWaW. My guess is its 60Hz. Win XP + older games + certain chipsets = refresh rates do not work well and default to 60Hz. There are various 3rd party fixes around..Nvrefreshtool is one, but there are others. A google search should yield ...

Slightly unconnected - but does anyone know who owns SSI these days and the IP to their old games? They've been passed around so much I've lost track. I've tried to track them down before but not got very far.

<t> mamnich, did you have an earlier version of SPWaW? If you had, did it work okay? I did a bit of googling and found some info that Intel's 82810 chipset isn't very DirectX compliant and thus some games simply will not work with it. If this is indeed the case your only solution would be to get a ...

Well, a graphics problem of some sort...the intro stuff in SPWaW 8.x needs directX 9 so if you do not have it already get it and install. Also you might want to try updating your graphics driver.

Try disabling your downloads accelerator? Maybe it is broken. I just tried d/l the patch available from downloads page and it worked just fine.

<t> Kristo, your quest for turn length will unfortunately stay without exact answer. Yeah, if you start counting that your infantry unit travelled 200m in one turn..so maybe a minute, right? However turn length is largely a pretty abstract thing. The most accurate answer you will ever get is: "few ...

In many cases starting the game from 'spwaw quick start' or alternatively directly from 'mech.exe' (they are the same thing actually) will cure many problems. Especially if the game crashes during the intro video.

This is what happens when you have rarity _on_. Try turning it off and buy whatever you want.
