Yes, Voriax, the install proceedure is only set to work if you installed with the default directory on the original SP WAW 1.0; since I never install in default directories, I got a separate subfolder under the first.

<t>The install procedure creates a new subfolder [Steel Panthers World at War] underneath the current SP WAW 1.0 folder. This subfolder contains only the updated files from version 1.0<br/>
<br/>
Smackw32.dll is in your original SP WAW 1.0 home directory, and can be copied over to the new subfolder ...

<t>This is a common problem when the game cannot find the sound file to play for the op fire. If you didn't copy over all the other sound files from the original 1.0 directory, and remember to choose 'no' when it asks you to overwrite existing file, then your sound directory will have only a few ...

<t>Smackw32.dll is located in your original SP WAW directory. The install program actually creates a new subdirectory Steel Panthers World at War within the original 1.0 version directory. You must copy all the files in the root over to the new 2.0 directory. <br/>

You must also take all the ...

<t>If I took 13 hits from a tiger platoon, I would be looking for the nearest hill to hide behind, or I would think that I was invincible. I certainly would get out after that and kiss that tank.<br/>

I remember a story "A country Hero" about a crew in a russian KV-1 that took on a german tank ...

<t>I have had many bugs. First, in a campaign game, ammo doesn't reload.<br/>
<br/>
Damage of some types is repaired, like suspension damage, but gun optics isn't repaired.<br/>
<br/>
The crew bug that others have discussed.<br/>

<t>Well, I have had nothing but positive experiences with aircraft.<br/>
<br/>
I took a generated campaign in Russia, 1943. I selected the Wehrmacht, and the Russians brought 6 aircraft in each of the first two battles.<br/>
<br/>
88's splashed two, 20mil got two more. I lost one Tiger and a pair of ...

<t>I have noticed the same bug. I find that it happens in Generated campaigns when I have a marginal victory. <br/>
<br/>
I have noticed also that in Generated campaigns, my forces start where they ended the previous battle. They are not moved back to the map edge.<br/>

I have noticed another ...

<r>I recognized many of the sounds are 'captured' from <I><s>[i]</s>Saving Private Ryan<e>[/i]</e></I>, in particular the sounds of the 20mm flak (German), the Thompson SMG (American, British), the K98 rifles (German), the MG34 and MG42, and the sound of armored vehicles being destroyed (sounds ...

<t>I am not sure what you mean by the games just melt away. Could you be a bit more descriptive of the behavior of the machine?<br/>

Does the Dos window close suddenly, with no warning? Does the game hang, freeze the mouse pointer, garble the graphics? Are you loading the VESA drivers when you ...
