Why would you need to know the speed of the ship's dog? Wouldn't Cru(ise)Speed be more useful? ;)
Not sure I remember well. I would say it was because Curspeed is Maxspeed taking into account damage. This way you can assess damage to speed faster.

Re: WitPTracker News

Indeed it is much valuable this tool. Thanks for the job done.

In "Devices" a filter value for filter "Special" for "Unused devices" would be useful (Pool, Need, Used, Draw, Active & Build = 0).

I would add 2 filters in "Air Groups and Pilots" → "Pilots":
Is a leader?
Nation

Re: Game does not launching....

This time, I have made tests with procmon, procexp and windbg (sysinternals windows applications). Latest version crashes just leaving alone in folder only CC_TBF.exe and Mss32.dll ...

Yes, that is. I did not make any additional changes or tests to the to the game since last tests just before holidays.
Then I executed non Steam version CC_TBF.EXE with as administrator and several messages stating 'App Entry Point.' or something like that and several 'Init 1', 'Init 2'... or the ...

I executed Matrix version as I had after tests as administrator and several messages appeared.Some error in the end until a message told it would send a report. And then I tried to execute again the game and it worked without running as administrator. Steam version also ...

Re: Game does not launching....

Hi Steve, I just installed the files but no log file was created nor generated. I tried deleting and also keeping My games folder but same error as before.
I guess it has nothing to do, but a non critical error message appeared when installing 1.01.11 patch:
Error: The specified file: 'G ...

Re: Game does not launching....

Following the idea of removing files to check what happens I managed to delete all files but mss32.dll (and exewcutable CC_TBF_STEAM.exe) and same error as before. Only when I delete mss32.dll a different message appears stating code execution cannot continue because mss32.dll was not found and ...

Re: Game does not launching....

File is there although dates do not match. All dates show 8/12/2024, until I changed it today. No message regarding critical files missing. Same error as before.
I started in safe mode and same error again.
I stopped NVIDIA, Realtek and audio services. No sound in fact, but same error.

Re: Game does not launching....

Hi Steve, that error.log could be the one form the previous patched version or the one referring to CC_TBF_Editor.exe. Launching editor it is the only way to create error.log with latest version with newest patch.
I just removed installations and save games folder, reinstalled and same problem as ...

Re: Game does not launching....

Hi Pip,

It could be an audio issue, perhaps. When I remove all DLLs in main directory, program complains about missing mss32.dll (Miles Sound System). With the previous patch release, the second dll used is dbghelp.dll (Windows Image Helper). I know because because with previous having only mss32 ...

Re: Game does not launching....

Hi Steve,
With Steam version , it did not recreate the folder, but with the Matrix/Slitherine installation patched with latest 1.01.11 save games directory has been recreated. Now I can see the error.log, although game did not launch.
I have attached error.log and error_trace, but I do not see ...

Re: Game does not launching....

I upgraded to windows 11 but problem was not solved.
Further actions have not solved the problem:
Deleting error.lod did not cause to recreate it again.
Renaming folder in save games did not force to recreate the folder.

Thanks

Re: Game does not launching....

Hi,
The same problem occurs to me. I have windows 10 22H2, reinstalled several times to no effect. Initially I tried with Steam, but as it did not work I installed from the matrix/Slitherine files.
Just by chance, I had older comprehensive patch v1.01.10.00 and that worked for me. It is just the ...

Re: Daily Report Tool

Just in case, be sure to install ".NET Desktop Runtime 6.0.8", as first I installed ".NET Runtime 6.0.8" but it was not enough. Perhaps that could be your problem.
