Thank you, you were spot on, it now works! Any idea what the codec is by the way? The videos can be played in media player okay....

Hi, bought CCCoI today, installed it (fully) and tried running the game. The music plays when launched and the screen goes black, with only the cursor showing. If I ctrl-alt-del it shows CoI as not responding, please help, it's winding me up now. Dxdiag was fine by the way.

I have found that if I remove the sidewinder pro force feedback 2 from device manager and run the game, all is well, is this something that I can download a patch for, possibly from microsoft? Surely I'm not the only person using this joystick?

Hello,
Yes I have a joystick, it is a sidewinder force feedback 2 and seems to work fine with other games. I also tried the key.cfg fix to no avail.[:(]

It's strange that it worked fine on first installed, then after re-starting windows it no longer ran.

<t> Hi,<br/>
<br/>
of course, sorry. Also I should have said that I'm using the latest catalyst 4.6 drivers and xp pro.<br/>

<t> Now I'm getting annoyed. I just spent the last 4 days trying to buy the game and I got it at last today. My problem is that when I installed it, it ran fine and I was impressed, now when I restart my pc it won't run just ctd - please help me out here, this is bloody annoying????? [X(][&:][X(]</t>

<t> I have tried to buy the game online now 7 times using 3 different credit cards and a switch card over 2 days through the US and UK sites and failed. I want this game, but it seems you don't want to sell it to me! Please can someone help me out here? <br/>

Very much so, thank you for your prompt and detailed reply.<E>:)</E> <br/>

I'd like to ask you one further question, I have seen a couple of posts refering to WiTP (I assume war in the Pacific) is this an up and coming ...

I apologise for my stupidity, but I am only an occasional admiral.

I was wondering, what is the difference between a CV and a CVE and does a CVE have any benefits over a CV in UV and in real life?

MTIA,

Toby

Here here, we just about agree on this, anyone else?

<r>Thanks for your good natured reply.<E>;)</E> <br/>

On point one though, it may detract from the authenticity of the game, but for those of us that want just a little more fun - why not spoils us with the option?:) You of course could opt for (the default) commander controlled (read computer ...

<t>Hello all,<br/>
As a new member and UV player, I would like to start by saying that UV is a good game, but one which could be even better with a few tweaks/ improvements.<br/>
<br/>
1) I realise that it would be a little less realistic but, those of us that would like to directly select targets ...

Ah, I see, thanks very much it now makes sense. Cheers.

Thanks I'll give it a go, though as you said seem a little complex, perhaps too much so?

<t>Hi,<br/>
<br/>
I'm new to SPWAW but did used to have SP2&3. In those games it was possible to move formations instead of individual units (which can get a bit tedious sometimes), however it seems to be impossible for me to do so in SPWAW despite selecting "all" through the toggle button (button ...
