That did the trick! Thank you very much, elegantuni236091.

(Fascinating handle, by the way.)

<t> I just installed Windows 10 on my desktop, after which JTCS would open but would not run or allow an update. I was getting Error Code 486. So, I uninstalled it and re-installed it from the disk. At that point, version 1.1 appeared to operate properly. I then updated to 2.02. After that, the main ...

... take a look here, a CD with loads of visual material on the Sherman.

In an item earlier in this thread, Alby referred to 8.41. But I only see a download for 8.4 available in the Matrix Members area. Is 8.41 the one we're all waiting for, or is it a genuine patch currently available somewhere else?

<t> I have a similar problem. The screen goes black and if I move the cursor around, it's like an inverse eraser. It begins to "repaint" the screen. If I sit and wait a minute or two, things come back on their own. This only began to happen after I installed a new version of Norton Anti-virus. I ...

Glad to hear your enthusiasm for 8.5. What does it do with regard to spotting? 8.4 feels like it's virtually impossible to spot enemy infantry until you're in the adjacent hex and they've opened fire on you, and, usually, caused heavy casualties. I don't want it to be ...

Duskdeep ... Far, far from boring. Both enlightening and enjoyable. Thank you. Postings such as yours are another reason why this forum is so enjoyable.

Andrew ... don't overreact to the "opinions" of one person. In the course of this thread you got some reasoned, reasonable and sympathetic reactions. Remember that and don't despair at the "ravin's" of one person.

... and add one more vote of extreme gratitude for hours and hours of pleasure, excitement and frustration thanks to the efforts of Mike and the rest of the gang. But lately, and understandably, it's been all Mike and we are, indeed, most grateful.

<t> The responses to Wild Bill's original question have tended to fall into two categories ... (1) "Stuff, and (2) intangibles, mystique, the underdog, etc. I can understand the allure of the "stuff", but I wonder if perhaps, even for those that think that stuff is the attraction, the real ...

<t> Re: Pain meds and response time ... That's one good thing about SP:WaW ... response time is not often an issue. That's why guys like us are playing it instead of Doom and such like. As for reaction time vis a vis Warrrior's suggestion ... how much it counts depends upon the age of the target ...

And yet one more bouquet of wishes for a very happy birthday and many, many more, from just one of the legions for whom you have provided hours and hours and hours of gaming fun, frustration, intellectual stimulation and education. Thanks from all of us!

<r> And one more vote of thanks. You have indeed done an outstanding job under very difficult circumstances. After all the flak you've taken while trying to do the best you could to support the interests of both the "community" <I><s>[i]</s>and<e>[/i]</e></I> Matrix Games, I suspect it will be very ...

<t> This thread has caused me to take a few minutes to consider why, after several years, SP:WaW remains such a source of pleasure and fun. For all its limitations and drawbacks (and there are such), it is still the WWII wargame that combines an enormous amount of detail with a relatively ...

Outstanding work, David B. There are a lot of us anxiously awaiting the results of your hard work and we'll be greatly indebted to you.

Hah! I just found the true update files in my 8.0 download. Does anybody know if they'll work if you just copy them over into the 8.2 folder?

If so, Schee0, I'd be happy to send you copies of my files if you still don't have them.

Hmmmm, indeed! I, too, used the GamersHell to download 8.2 and there is no True Update file. So, it's not an isolated problem for a few individuals. It's a systematic thing. Second Schnee0's call for a way to download just that file.

<t> Is it just my download, or has anyone else noticed the following regarding the scenarion files?<br/>
<br/>
Scenario 325 ... no .dat file<br/>
<br/>
Scenarios 326 through 332 ... .txt file only, no .dat, no .cmt<br/>
<br/>
Scenarios 333, 334, and 335 ... no .dat file<br/>
<br/>
Scenario ...

<t> I will also burn cd's of 8.2 for our "download challenged" bretheren. My download appears to be working fine so make your contribution and then contact me to exchange address information. I'll cover the mailing expenses.<br/>
<br/>
One caveat, however, if you don't now have any of the mega ...

Whoa! Working for US! ... not for money ... at 3:00 in the morning! That ought to put a stop to the whining and complaining! (But it probably won't,)

Thanks to all you chaps at Matrix, and the many, many volunteers who have done so much for this gaming community.
