sea combat blocks

[expatbrit]

I wrote directly to support but did not get a reply. When there is combat between taskforces the screen often blocks and eventually the whole game blocks. What could be the cause? I have Vista by the way.

well I can't seem to get a response either here or from the matrix tech support. A pity because I enjoy the game, but have been forced to avoid creating PT boats for example because they never work in surface combat.

What do you mean by "blocks"?

I have been using computers for 18 years and have never heard that term before.

Sounds like a lock-up. Try to run the game in Win9x compatibility mode (if Vista still supports it).

what actually happens is that when the surface combat screen opens first in the box below there is a message which is unrelated (such as SS damaged or routine convoy returns). Then as the music starts it seems to get caught in a loop and never quite completes the series of musical notes.
