War in the East v1.02 Beta 1 Update Now Available

Gary Grigsby’s War in the East: The German-Soviet War 1941-1945 is a turn-based World War II strategy game stretching across the entire Eastern Front. Gamers can engage in an epic campaign, including division-sized battles with realistic and historical terrain, weather, orders of battle, logistics and combat results.

The critically and fan-acclaimed Eastern Front mega-game Gary Grigsby’s War in the East just got bigger and better with Gary Grigsby’s War in the East: Don to the Danube! This expansion to the award-winning War in the East comes with a wide array of later war scenarios ranging from short but intense 6 turn bouts like the Battle for Kharkov (1942) to immense 37-turn engagements taking place across multiple nations like Drama on the Danube (Summer 1944 – Spring 1945).

You should have received a serial number when you bought the game.  A number should have been sent to you online, and the CD itself should have it.

The 102 version plays a lot better than 1.01. Any news on release of patch? Went back to do multiplayer and dont like the slowness.

If you like the 1.02 beta patch, I suggest you use it for multiplayer as well (just get your opponents to upgrade). I'm guessing we will put out another beta patch next week. I don't know when or what Erik has planned regarding making anything "official".

1.02 Beta 1 will not allow the game to start, I get this error message instead. Reverting to 1.01 works fine.

This patch seems to be a step backward from a mouse perspective--one of the previous patches fixed my mouse problems, but this one seems to restore the problems (delays in selecting units, etc.). For instance, a lot of times when I am trying to attack a unit or move to a hex, my unit will be deselected and the other unit (defending unit, destination hex) is selected instead. Also, I often have to click on a unit multiple time in the right colum to deselect it.

While this might sound like a minor issue, it is starting to turn me off the game given the vast number of units in larger scenarios--the constant delays with selecting units and other problems is a huge pain.

Also, the in-game update does not work for me (I realize it wont work with the beta patches, but it also did not work with the official patch)--I just get a rather vague message saying that there has been a problem and I should contact Matrix.
