See my post "Fatal Error 817". It may help.

See my post "Fatal Error 817" -- it might solve your problem.

<r> The comprehensive patch is 80MB in the download section. The attached text with the patch reads, "The version 1.804 update fixes outstanding bug issues. The correction of the LCU leader handeling that was causing land experience to be increased to invalid levels as well as the crashes that were ...

<r> I pulled the 1.801 and 1.804 patches from <URL url="http://www.strategyinformer.com">www.strategyinformer.com</URL> and the 1.802 patch from <URL url="http://www.gamershell.com">www.gamershell.com</URL>. Both sites allow easy, fast downloads and don't require registration or anything like that ...

Update -- I went back and re-installed the game and patched from 1.80 ---> 1.801 ---> 1.802 ---> INCREMENTAL 1.804 and everything worked fine. Something weird must have been going on with the COMPREHENSIVE 1.804 patch, at least for me.

That's weird, since the download section says that 1.804 is a comprehensive patch. Are 1.801 and 1.802 still available on the Matrix site?

<t> Just downloaded the 1.804 patch and when I attempted to re-start the game, I get the message "Fatal Error: 817" on the initial load screen and the game doesn't load. I was using 1.80 earlier tonight with no problems!?!<br/>

Any idea what this error ...

My favorite plane has always been the P-61 Black Widow. With a name like that, how can you go wrong?? The F4U Corsair is a close second.

<t> While it is true that Japan spent much of their time experimenting with different designs (and, in many cases, skirting the treaty restrictions), there was some method to the madness. Case in point was the "port side" islands on Akagi and Hiryu, as discussed in the old set of "Evolution of ...

I generally use them to escort short convoys between islands where the risk of attack is not great, but not zero either. Many of them do have decent AA and ASW capability, in case you run into an attack. For me, this frees up destroyers to do more important work.

<t> I would definitely second Tullius on WitP. Hands down, for me, it's the single best war game I've ever bought. Sure, $70-$80 is quite a bit for a game, but if I were to add up the cost of all of the games I've bought over the years that I've played less than WitP, that would probably add to ...

I don't think it's strictly a database problem, because many of the leaked Japanese leaders are not in the scenario database. A quick way to determine this is when you don't see a comma in the leader's name. (e.g., "Muto, K." corresponds to a leader entered into the scenario ...

having previously endured endless annihilation at the hands of the KB Death Star to ships/bases in December 41 - January 42, I borrowed a tactic discussed elsewhere on the boards and put together a small picket ...

<t> Mr.Frag,<br/>
<br/>
Some questions regarding the new aircraft upgrade (sorry if one of these has already been answered elsewhere):<br/>
<br/>
(1) How will this affect the AI -- will it be "smart" enough to pick an appropriate path?<br/>
<br/>
(2) Can this be turned on or off?<br/>

<t> I've been creating a personal mod using Scenario 15, v. 1.40, as a base and it strikes me that in those cases where a pilot is also a leader, the link between the two doesn't seem to be very clean.<br/>
<br/>
Example #1: During a game, if a pilot in a unit also leads that unit and you replace ...

witpqs,

I believe that this is an OOB issue. I checked the database and the Corsair FB squadrons attached to these carriers have a delay of 9999. [:(]
