Private Beta Patch Warsaw To Paris v.160e

The team behind the award-winning game Advanced Tactics is back with a new and improved game engine that focuses on the decisive early days of World War II! Decisive Campaigns: The Blitzkrieg from Warsaw to Paris is the first in an innovative series of operational World War II wargames that also include a strategic element. The Blitzkrieg from Warsaw to Paris simulates Germany’s military successes in Poland and France in 1939 and 1940 (including also a hypothetical “Sea Lion” invasion of Great Britain).

Hi Again,

One thing to look at changing in my opinion is the "text" results after a battle (battle screen). The script color closely resembles the background color and is very hard to see.

If you are using the Matrix version you could download v1.60b2 which adresses that issue:

Hi Vic

I am using this version

Hi,

Please check 2 things:

You sure it says "160b2" in the main menu in the top corner, not "b", but "b2"

You also sure you copied the 3 graphics file from the .zip called paperbackground<1/2/3>.png in the graphics/systemgraphics/cat1 directory?

Best wishes,
Vic

It still says 160b, the desktop shortcut from the original does my work anymore, therefore I just created a shortcut of the exe. Will the official update allow me to use the desktop icon that shows the game manual and other matrix items?

I forget what it's called

The dutch army didn't even really try to defend that territorial appendix hence the German ZOC (recon troops) occupy it immediately at start of round 1 :)

When is the patch hitting Steam? looking to start a new PBEM but my partner only has the Steam version.

Posted private beta v1.60e. The tutorial was disfunctional (since v1.60! neither I nor many players seem to bother tutorialing).

best wishes,
Vic

I am going to wait a few weeks since there is a lot of new code included in the private beta. And the older a game gets the less people try out beta's and the more prudent it is to wait a bit longer.

However it should be compatible with the older Steam version.

best wishes,
Vic

installed my Steam version and unzipped the files to over write to test if the private beta would work, didn't work.
Here's the error log, i hit run but it would just hang. Don't know if this will help anything but here you go. I just verified my steam games files and it seems to have rolled back, it re-aquired 8 files.
