Can't play a Linked Campaign without crashing!!

Post by treebeard »

I go to start a new campaign in West Front, like A Force 20 Storm, choose Ok, then choose a name and place to save and click OK and then I get a strange jumbled screen. The only discernable button is Main Menu so I click that one and then I get back to another jumbled screen so I have to click Exit and then I get a windows message telling me that ad.exe has encountered an error and must close. This happens on all my linked campaigns. Running XP SP2 with 4 gigs of ram. Help?

I think the problem is where you save the file. After naming the campaign, you need to make sure you save it in the West Front folder (if it's a WF campaign). The file path should be something like this:

c:\Matrix Games\John Tiller's Campaign Series\West Front

After it's saved there, you should be able to continue the campaign. If that doesn't work, wait for Jason; he can fix anything.[;)]
