RE: Eastfront DCG Campaign Error

Post by Jason Petho »

ORIGINAL: Dan K

Hi Jason,

It was actually for a battle we are making for 1945, but I went and did a quick test in the spring of '44 and got the same thing. No big deal, it would just speed the set up of a large battle. Also I noticed this in a Britsh org also. But I didn't note the details. They had a platoon without transport while the rest had universal carriers.

Good to know, Dan

I'll make sure they are fixed for the next UPDATE.

West Front US T89 HMC error.

Playing a 1945 scenario and the 2d normal view shows a truck towing a utility trailer (? maybe, but it is a truck) while the T83 GMC shows a nice SP gun icon. Perhaps the T89 should use the same icon.

Also the British Archer icon is in reverse with the direction traveled.

Both no big deals, just FYI [:)]

For some reason all of a sudden playing either East, West or Rising sun a white flash occurs constantly whenever you try to scroll the map.

I am running Vista 64 bit, Nvidia GTX 260M 1GB, 4GB ram. I was thinking it could be an update thing, and started to update, and tried the game again and it fixed itself. Now it is glitching again after I fixed it. When it was working today, the task bar stayed at the bottom of the screen. It worked just fine up until recently. The only major changes Ive made since it worked was Vista SP 2 (I think).

Playtesting Bart's 3rd PzDiv scenario files....

hmm...in playing with Armor Facing Rules "ON", I noticed the Stalin Line Fortifications melt like butter when taking fire...

The reason is Front, Sides, and Rear values are set to "0"....

Hi Jason,

I'm playtesting a scenario in WF. There are transport ships loaded with various troops.
Problem found is that the transport ships cannot sail into shallow water so, there is nowhere the troops can be unloaded!
Transport ships cannot move into shallow water, ships cannot unload in deep water?
Think we have a bug here?
regards
Peter

Hi, Just bought Campaign Series and can't load it. I have several Matrix games and I've never had a problem loading. I get to the point where I click on Johntillercampaign series and after a long delay I get 'Data error(clclic redundancy check)'.
I have Vista 32 bit op sys, NVIDIA GE 8300GS, 2 GB Ram. DirectX. 2.33 GH speed and plenty of disk space. I've perused the forums and am at a loss as to how to proceed. Any help would be appreciated.

Did you install it under as the administrator?

Did you install it in the default location, or did you install it in a new folder? C:/Games/John Tiller's...

Have you updated the game to the 1.04 UPDATE?

You can do so much clicking the UPDATE button on the main menu.

Alternatively, you can download it here:

http://www.matrixgames.com/products/318 ... n%20Series

Once downloaded, EXTRACT the file, then DOUBLE CLICK the EXE ... keep your password handy.

Hope that helps

Hi, I wrote to you earlier today and I'm sorry but I can't find your response. I'm somewhat of a new-bee(@65yrs old) I bought a CD for John Tiller's campaign Series and I can't get it to install. The disc has 2 programs on it. 1 is only 1k and the other is johntillerscampaignseries set-up but only 564mb. when I click on it there is a long pause and usually my computer crashes or I get the response 'data error (cyclic redundancy check)' I've tried to install it as an administrator but that doesn't work either.
I have Vista 32 2GB Ram NVIDIA GE Force 8300 GS. I saw some discussion on this forum that there may be errors on the CD. Anything to that? Any additional help would be appreciated.

Copy the 564mb file to your computer, maybe to your desktop. Then double click that icon on your desktop and see if the installer window pops up (it may take a bit and seem like nothing is happening).

Sorry, didn't receive any mail from you? Where did you send it?

junk2drive's idea of copying the file your local drive would be a good idea.

If you double click the exe file from there, it should install OK.

Let me know if that helps?

Did this press release apply to your case?

How can I install the John Tiller's Campaign Series? The scenario doesn't start, no map, background is black, no units, no anything.
