Good afternoon all, there is already a new hotfix ready for download (includes the new 1943 campaign!) via Dropbox posted here:

https://www.dropbox.com/s/qu5d74hw1u87e ... s.rar?dl=0

Please ensure you download and install the v1.00.11 build first before applying this hotfix


Instructions
Simply download and extract. The subfolder contents from extraction just need to be copied and pasted over your existing v1.00.11 installation folder files. You should receive a warning that you are about to overwrite if you've done this properly and please go ahead and say yes.

WARNING
This hotfix is unfortunately not backwards compatible with the v1.00.11 build as some of the fixes required me to break compatibility. Do not update unless you are not concerned about losing a game in progress.


Version Changes

v1.00.11a BETA

- fixed a missing tool tip set of text for the RESEARCH screen regarding Spying and Intelligence research.
- fixed a PBEM replay error that caused a CTD.
- fixed an HQ supply distribution and HQ supply linking error that caused a ramping up of supply as HQs were providing benefits back and forth incorrectly.
- fixed a reorganization error that prevented the AI from properly re-distributing its forces from an excess of strength in an OFFENSIVE plan towards a lack of strength in a DEFENSIVE plan.
- fixed an AI purchase placement error that caused the AI deploy new forces at a single DEFENSIVE/OFFENSIVE plan area as opposed to spreading them out more.
- fixed a naval retreat error for when naval units are sufficiently threatened while in port.
- significant optimization of AI air unit reorganization when attempting to balance out fighter coverage on various fronts.
- HQ supply distribution and linking to another HQ will only occur if the source HQ has a normal supply >= 3.

Wow I had just installed the new version and was giving a look into the 1942 scenario, when you uploaded a hotfix and a new scenario.[&o][&o][&o]

Guys make sure you apply the patch before starting a new game with the new version, v1.00.11 not save compatible with 11a.

Regards

I think the Kursk scenario needs a bit of work before it's released.



There are no troops from either side in North Africa.

thanks, downloaded

There certainly were when I last touched this campaign. Remember that the Axis had lost North Africa by then, and you've got Fog of War turned on so you won't see any Allied units.

What can you see if you switch sides or turn Fog of War off?

My bad. Even Homer occasionally nods.





I forgot that FOW was turned on.

That's ok, I have my moments too! [:)]
