<r> Of course I took the chance to take that port and connect with Finns to fully isolate Leningrad. The next 3 turns were the most enjoyable: I mopped up divisions trapped east of Leningrad, then assaulted the city itself after the defence value of the troops there dropped significantly. By Turn 16 ...

<r> The start of turn 13. See what happened? AI withdrew all troops and clear the way for my target!<br/>

<r> After one turn, I was about to send one panzer division east of Tilhevin to attack enemy HQs and airbases.<br/>

<r> I took it (normal difficulty against AI) after first capturing the port on the eastmost side of Lake Ladoga and linked with the Finns. After Leningrad was fully cut off, the defense value of all troops there decreased significantly so it only needed to be mopped up by 2 infantry corps. In the ...

<t> I just reinstalled patch beta3 (didn't uninstall the game, just use beta3 to overwrite beta4), and the issue returned!<br/>
<br/>
Then I installed patch beta4 again, ran the exact same savegame file with exact same click consequence. The issue disapeared!<br/>
<br/>
So, it's some change you ...

<t> I just ran WITE again (this time with patch beta 4), and you know what? The issue was gone!<br/>
<br/>
I wondered what fixed it between this and last try:<br/>
<br/>
1) I installed patch beta 4 instead of patch beta 3;<br/>
<br/>
2) I just installed several new Win 7 "important upgrades ...

<t> Onboard sound has always been disabled by the mainboard jumper. I just double checked BIOS settings and confirmed it's also disabled there.<br/>
<br/>
About installed codec packs, I really have no idea if or which of them may interfere with sound driver. Can you give me some more guidance?<br ...

Here it is as the attachment.

<r> No other matrix game or even WITE before the beta patch has even had this sound-caused crash issue.<br/>
<br/>
I just upgraded my SB Audigy 2 ZS driver, still got the same crash.<br/>
<br/>
Do you want me to post dxdiag report here or send to you by email?<br/>

<r> Hey! "Helpless" is so helpful:)<br/>
<br/>
I renamed "sound" folder as "nosound" and it solved the crashing issue.<br/>
<br/>
However, since I had no sound issue before the beta patch, I would say it's still a patch bug.<br/>
Thanks.<br/>

<t> Yes, it happens on every battle in WITE and I can replicate it each time.<br/>
<br/>
It crashed when I manually resolved a land battle or an air mission (crashed moments after the battle report sppeared on top). If I ended a turn, it also crashed somewhere during AI phase, probably when a ...

<t> I bought and installed the original WITE and it worked perfectly.<br/>
<br/>
But after I installed Update-v101-Beta1, it crashed EVERYTIME a battle was resloved. There's a pop-up "WarInTheEast Application has stopped working ... A problem caused the program to stop working correctly ... ". All ...

No, I just installed Vista as a DUAL BOOT on my computer (the first day when Vista's out), but I seldom use Vista (not that compatible with programs) & didn't even bother to install Matrix games there.<br/>
<br/>
Even after I installed Vista, I was still able to open those 3 games in ...

I just checked the saved games dates, found&nbsp;my recent saved files (one of them is Korea 50-51 sitrep_log026.txt) are dated around March 2, 2007. This proves that after the last Mar 1st patch, my TOAW3 is still working perfectly. Actually I ...
