10 years too late, but I was just messing around with some old files and ran into the exact same problem. What I discovered is that you cannot load just the most recent version. It isn't a full install, just the updated files. There are two versions available for download. You have to install the ...

<t> The other factor you might consider is that a lot of gamers want to win - no matter how bad they are at the game.&nbsp; As their skill improves, they just want to win more convincingly.&nbsp; And the final level of their "victory" is getting to the point that the game is not a challenge at all ...

I suspect they were locked because they were inflamatory and tended to shed more heat than light.&nbsp;

<t> At some point, can someone provide an overview of what the difference is between&nbsp;the optional and default assault rules?&nbsp; Or is that explained somewhere within the patch documentation?&nbsp; In choosing whether or not to use the default rules, it would be great to have some ...

<r> Clash of Steel was an excellent game.&nbsp; For any interested in game design, I have always found the following analysis of CoS to be quite insightful.<br/>

I too have never had an error since working through the initial "white flash" problem on vista.&nbsp; Game runs great for me.

I generally like the new assault rules. Armor should not be the unit of choice when attempting to take a city. The only real issue I have is the "superman bug" where a single leader can repel multiple armored assaults. A leader by himself might be able to evade capture and escape to a ...

If it is a serial number issue, then that has nothing to do with vista.... that's a, well, serial number issue.&nbsp; Are you absolutely certain that you are using the EXACT serial number that was assigned when you bought the game?

<t> I have JTCS and am running just fine on Vista.&nbsp; I loaded the standard download and then applied the 1.03 patch before ever attempting to run the game, and it would then run the very first time I tried it.&nbsp; But I had the "white flash" problem, which I was then able to address by ...

doh. never mind.

<r> Does anyone know what the specific difference is between a unit upgrade (with a + sign, normally done for combat units) and a replacement (without a plus sign, often done with command platoons) in a DCG? I've seen the official oob do it both ways.<br/>
<br/>
To be clear, I am hoping to ...

OK, I removed the link so as to permit the board to be a pseudo-tracking tool for changes. At least I have my own little encryption routine for the changes I want to make as I play around. And if nothing else, it gave me a fun little project to play around with.

I see your point, although there is nothing stopping from anyone developing an decryption/encrytion tool that decodes the existing encryption, as was done with the original series. <br/>

<t> I appreciate the level of service you provide regarding encryption Jason.&nbsp; You've consistently made this offer and it is far more than most developers would do.&nbsp; But sometimes, I just want to play around a little bit.&nbsp; Additionally, by making this offer, you are actually ...

<t> I understand the rationale for encrypting the platoon files to prevent cheating, but it seems to me that it should be possible to support modders and still maintain the integrity of the game.<br/>
&nbsp;<br/>
There is already a User_Mods directory.&nbsp; Why couldn't players edit their ...

<r> While the single player game is a lot of fun, I must confess that there is nothing I enjoyed more than allowing Gil to put the stomp on me in our epic PBEM AAR. It is very easy to get caught up in the back-and-forth action and find yourself sitting at the keyboard hoping to get a chance to do ...

You anti-dentite!

freeboy, something you should know about LCD displays: they cost more than equal quality CRT, they look good only with their native resolution and their refresh rates suck. You better look at some LCD and TFT screens first before ...
