OK, as the illustrious JohnO has reported, he has redone that scenario to the version of the game you have. We have a lot of scenarios of various versions and one of the wrong ones got out. That is my fault and I am so sorry! This is the official replacement scenario: US1-SN2 Tall Order 8794 fixed.z...

OK, this version of the scenario will work but not have quite such nicely formatted Briefings. Unzip this file over top of your existing copy of that scenario and it will now work. Finding the existing copy of the scenario is the trick. If you used the default installation location it will look some...

Rob here. There appears to be a flaw in that scenario as distributed that has removed the starting setup areas. This is indeed a fatal problem and I will post a fixed scenario as soon as I can.

I'm not quite sure what ate the setup areas here - sorry!

Something that we did this time was adjust the drawing of unit icons the first time the game is installed, or in this case, when you load the new update and you have not already played with some of the different icon drawing settings already. What happens is that we are trying out the 'color unit ic...

This update has a few changes: - the broken table of contents in three of the user guides have been fixed. - four of the HTML formatting files have been updated slightly - some bad weather files have been fixed. - three Tournament Game scoring fixes - a couple of very minor bug fixes. There were few...

Good job guys! I'm really enjoying Yogdog's enjoyment of the game.

We hope you enjoy it! We continue to work on it and incorporate as much feedback as possible.

Have fun, Rob C

Yes, I'm digging through the code and reviewing the beta tester comments from the time, and it turns out that this was something we expressly wanted to do in the game. It was meant to address the issue that arriving units were just standing around on arrival, possibly in harm's way, and there was no...

Very cool! No one ever did that before. Both things you describe are exploits, so we will have to fix them, and I will make that a priority. It will not be in the initial release of the 2.1.4 Public Beta coming soon, but it will be in the update to that within a few weeks. I marvel at your ingenuity...

We have had server time out issues in the past that seemed to be similar to this. I will circle around to this soon and see if I can parse out what might have happened from this end. Thanks for reporting the problem. We really appreciate you taking the time to do so so that we can improve the game. ...

Thank you for this report. Yes, this is a problem in the game and it impacts both the East-German and Czech campaigns. A recent code change is responsible. I'm working on it actively and the upcoming 2.1.4 beta will have the fix. Sorry about this! I thought I had it just right at the time but appare...

I'm really glad you enjoyed the game! We have worked so hard on it over the years. Nothing is ever perfect of course, but darn it, we try!

Best of the season to you and thanks for your input, Rob C

Wandrr - Yes, they have the same release number because the final beta version we had out required no further changes. In the future I'll bump it by, say, 1 to distinguish between them but I didn't think of it this time. Enjoy the game! We put a lot of work into it and appreciate all the feedback we...

I'm still working on this. The log file from sfbaytf has good info in it but I'm not seeing a failure in the game, just in the occasional transmission from Matrix to his computer. In particular, a request to the server timed out after 30 seconds. I'm working with Matrix on this. More when I know it,...

A further troubleshooting tip -

Amy time you see the "Logging" tab pop up you should go to it and save the text shown to a TXT file. That file is pure gold for me.

Haven't gotten traction with this one yet. Trying again based on latest info.

Thanks for your patience, Rob

Great! Prepare to be pleasantly surprised.

Grin, Rob C

Thanks Shadrach. This is a flaw in the third party skinning engine that we use. I thought it had been fixed by the author but apparently not. We will see what we can do because I agree that it is hard to see the outline controls properly. Thanks for noticing, Rob C P.S. Which dialogs not closing wit...

Odd, do you have a way to search your hard drive to see if it went somewhere else instead? We used to lock down the target save directory but I believe we have now changed to letting people save anywhere. Your current spot may or may not be where this routine decided to park the file. I'll check it ...
