Omaha map, messed up

Post by UnrealAzn »

When I downloaded SPWAW 4.5 from 3.0, I saw a map called Omaha, and I was always excited of playing the invasion of france off the beaches.

So, I got off my boats towards the beach, realistic so far, ships were being damaged, some blown apart already.

But the messed up part was when I landed all the infantry, the Germs were silent, they were not firing at me, I just took all the bunkers on the beach quite easily...

Is that what history really happened?
I read that Omaha was the worst of the 5 beaches, and they had to avoid blistering MG fire, mortars, mines, and least annoying, snipers...

Now am I wrong in some way? :confused:

You landed on the wrong beach!!! :D

Actually, it shouldn't do that - the last time I played it I was getting wiped out on the beaches.

The only thing I can think of is - maybe you didn't delete the "Steel.prf" file when you upgraded. That can cause lots of problems.

A Mystery to me, my friend. That scenario is perhaps the toughest of the D-Day landing scenarios.

You may want to look at your preference settings also.

Have you encountered this in any other battles?...WB

The map is messed up? Or the battle itself. I'm a little confused here...WB

Nope... It dosen't happen on the other maps bill, only on this one...

I only got 6 squads wiped out on the beach out of perhaps about 50... really odd, dosent happen to me on other maps...

Is there a fix for this, like a update or patch? :(

Your the first one that I know of that had this problem on this scenario, so my best suggestion would be to play it again when version 5 of the game comes out becouse they are updateing all the scenarios for that version.

One thing came into mind; - have you opened scenario in editor?? It can do some odd things to scneario if you open and save it again, you don't have to even look at the scenario...

If its not rotten, shoot again
