cannot proceed past theatre selection menu

Post by yaybrokencampaigns »

For some reason, whenever I load a savegame and I finish a game, after the unit upgrade/repair screen It goes to the theatre selection screen and bugs, essentially there is no button I can click or use to proceed past this screen, just a little (gay) french flag (which makes absolutely no sense whatsover as I'm playing Australia, in a generated campaign versus the germans, japanese and malaysians).

I've been playing steel panther games for over a decade and this particular bug really annoys me, as to complete a generated campaign, I am unable to load any save games whatsover. This isnt a problem for me, as I generally get 10 to 1 score results against the medium AI and I do not need to use savegames, except for examining my forces to see what specific weapons my infantry units are using, so I can select better armed infantry units in the upgrade screen.

Any ideas?

Bit of a bastard bug.

also tried mashing keys, no dice.

p.s. guys to get it working in windows 7 all you need to do is ctrl alt delete, select explorer.exe and hit end task. Then click new task and navigate to spwaw.exe. to restart explorer.exe just type in explorer (even without the .exe) in new task.

aint rocket science and you dont need any fixes that could potentially be a virus

Can anyone help me with my problem?

I need help... I'm playing single player game, computer generated campaign, playing Finland... and then after I finish one battle and going to the next one, I'm faced with the option of choosing the battle front (just like the one when you play the long ww2 campaign) Well, it's good, but the problem, I don't see any button to click to, and my screen just stuck there...Really need help...anybody has experienced this thing ? Now my saved games is stuck , and the troops are waiting for the next battle

I've commented on this many times, it seems to do this with any country other than the 6 you can choose from in the WW2 campaign!! Think it has something to do with battle locations, or something. It does it with both Chinese, and Hungary, haven't checked any others thoroughly, but looks like a bug that won't get fixed, as I've never heard a thing back about it. Guess not many folks play campaigns as anyone but the Big 6!! I finally gave up and played a Hungary campaign, using the Germans as the primary nation, then using Chlandas WAWedit to modify all the experience and morale to match the Hungarians, sucks having the German flag instead of the Hungarian though. Best I can tell ya to do is like the above, hope this helps.

==========================

Hooray for "features" that need to be raped sideways to get them to work.

Anyway, hope this thread helps others.

As for the douchebag who forgot to make it possible to play as any of the smaller countries with savegames... thanks! retard
