Having the same problem with the latest patch (v1.02.56).

<t> Apparently DW:U doesn't automatically update within Steam. I launch the game from within Steam, click on "Play Distant Worlds" and, once it loads, there is a notification in the lower left corner that the 1.9.5.7 update is available. I go the Matrix site, download the update an try to launch it ...

I have the IL-2 Gold Pack, including the Ace Expansion, installed on my computer. Question: Is there any problem or issue if I install Operation Barbarossa after having installed the Gold Pack?

Thanks,

<t>I just installed Uncommon Valor onto a brand new Dell Inspiron 8500, but UV doesn't look right on it. The computer's preferred graphics setting is 1920 x 1200 and when I reset it to 1024x768 it warns me that this isn't the optimal resolution.<br/>

UV apparently doesn't want to load in ...

<t>In scenario 17, the Japanese AI captured Lunga in October 1942. It built up the airbase and at one point stationed Bettys there. These Bettys initially made life hell in Noumea, Efate, etc. All of a sudden the Betty raids stopped and, I later learned, all Betty units were pulled back to Truk. Why ...

<t>I have a strategy inquiry regarding Yamamoto's Prophecy:<br/>
<br/>
It is Februrary 13, 1943, and I've just retaken Gili-Gili as the Allies. I own Buna, Dobadura, Woodlark Island and Tulagi. Lunga is a Japanese fortress, with a bazillion troops and Level 8 fortifications. Still, it's worth a lot ...

<t>There is one other I forgot to mention: "Shinano!" by Capt. Joseph F. Enright, USN.<br/>
<br/>
"Sink the Haguro!" is by John Winton and "I-Boat Captain" is by Zenji Orita. The latter was written in 1976 and includes a photo I'd never before seen of the damage to the USS Shaw at Pearl Harbor.<br ...

<t>Two other lesser known books that are available:<br/>
<br/>
"I-Boat Captain"<br/>
<br/>
and<br/>
<br/>
"Sink the Haguro!"<br/>
<br/>
Another book I started reading but found uninteresting is "The End of the Imperial Japanese Navy" by Ito. Despite the title, it begins with Pearl Harbor.<br/>
<br ...

<t>I've been playing the Yamamoto's Prophecy scenario as the U.S. and it is mid-November 1942. I have large numbers of LBA at Port Moresby, Buna, Cooktown and Cairns. During a recent series of turns, an IJN CV task force came down the east coast of New Guniea and wiped out my transport groups. NONE ...

Why is that sometimes more aircraft are reported damaged in an airstrike than actually particpated in it?

Can anyone confirm that the UV download links are still not working? It appears so as of 2/26 at 2:05 EST.

I just purchased Uncommon Valor and was surprised that it took 8 hours to fully install it on my Dell 933 MhZ system (128 MB RDRAM -- it's a 3 y/o system). Any idea why installation would take so long?

Thanks,

John Noory
