Help - Error message

Post by bluesteel »

Have had game from beginning. Played WAW many times well into 1945. Haven't played it for a while but now keep getting a math error problem and must close. AI will run forever was up to over 1000. Tried everything - deleted everything and re-installed. No new software added to computer and only change was the Microsoft service pack 3 but have been having the problem well before this. Usually happens right after Eastern Blitz card played. Tired it with version 1.15; 1.16 and 1.20 all with new games and same result. GAME IS DEAD WITHOUT HELP. THANKS

Is this just the WAW scenario or are you getting this for all the scenarios in AT?

Greg - first thanks for the reply. To my knowledge yes - only happens in WAW games. In past tried random games but with 3 AI opponents it took up to an hour between turns. Haven't really tried any other game since I had the problem start. Have tried severl diff versions of WAW and all with the same result. I f needed I can run the game and get the exact wording of the message if that would help.

Is that going to come out as a general hotfix for the rest of us?[8D]

E-mail sent to Vic as fix did not work. Question for Vic - Do you want me to start a new game and see if the fix works with that? It may take a little time as my spare time will be limited this weekend unless the weather changes?  Please advise.
