RE: NEW TEST EXE - please try it

<t> Hi Doomtrader,<br/>
<br/>
I am running Win8 rather than Win7 or earlier - but can confirm that deleting the Unit Images has indeed stopped the application crashing.<br/>
Now both the original EXE and the SWIE_OTHER.EXE run as expected. I have moved a few units and resolved some attacks.<br ...

Your suggestion made me realise my mistake: I ran the file from the zip thinking it was a patch rather than an alternative game EXE (audiere.dll is actually present in the gamefolder). So I added SWIE_OTHER.exe to the main folder and ran it ...

SWE 1.05 Crashes when selecting unit

<t> Hi Team,<br/>
<br/>
It sounds like this is an issue for several people already: when I select any unit, the game crashes.<br/>
Version: Impulse, v1.05; I tried re-downloading and reinstalling without success. Also tried with a few scenarios.<br/>
<br/>
Please see attached the console-out ...

Several Bugs (not yet listed for 1.01)

<t> Hi,<br/>

I have played a few games of Time of Fury v1.0 and noticed what I think are bugs. I do not yet see them in the proposed 1.01 patch, so I thought I'd list them here in case this helps.<br/>

1. I know that Vista/Win7 are quite picky on what programs are allowed to do. If you are on either OS(rather than XP), could you try to install the game to a different folder than the default "C:\program files\...."?<br/>
For example, I've got GOA installed to C:\Games ...

Have you got the same issue as Ron's initial one? I.e. the game simply does not load at all?<br/>
Or is it something else?<br/>
Does an older patch version work at all?<br/>
Have you tried to start the game by clicking Trench.exe directly rather than using a desktop start ...

No idea what might be happening with the French surrender issue - it sounds like the type of situation which might have been missed in testing the patch...<br/>

<r> [align=left]It seems that this support forum is not that closely monitored by Matrix these days. Possibly because the title is a bit older; possibly because there is now a central Matrix helpdesk.<br/>

RE: Request additional Resolutions For Netbooks

<t> Win7 works in the same way as winXP, but has the settings a bit more out of sight.<br/>
<br/>
1. Go to the control panel<br/>
2. Folder options<br/>
3. "View" tab<br/>
4. Untick "Hide known file types"<br/>

Now the init file should show as init.ini instead of just init<br/>

I've got the game installed and fully showing on my netbook.<br/>

RE: Minor country HQs?

<t> Yeah, the morale drops can be killer - they're pretty variable. Haven't seen a drop a precipitous as you describe; that's quite lethal.<br/>
<br/>
I think the limits on a Minor's power of endurance is by design: they've got one bolt - and once they shoot it, it is (and stays) gone. Any further ...

I'm not much of an Windows expert either, but I'll try to help. First, about graphics cards: you will either have a separate card (ATI or Nvidia) or an integrated card (usually Intel) in your PC.<br/>
