Gary Grigsby's War in the East 2 - v1.00.07 Update

Post by AlbertoC »

We are releasing a new update for War in the East 2.

It contains a number of fixes to issues which emerged shortly after release. Please let us know if you have any feedback on this update. You can download it through the Members' Area or directly from here.

Changelog:

New Features and Rule Changes
• Adjusted scroll speed. Sped up scrolling in zoomed out views, and adjusted scrolling speed with the arrow keys.
• Undocumented rule - Axis units in heavy snow from December 1941 to March 1942 have their defensive CV modified as follows:
Dec 1941 - /2
Jan 1942 - /1.5
Feb 1942 - /1.33
This is reflected in the CV values shown on the map. In addition, once in combat, there are admin and land combat rating checks made. For each failed check, the defense value is modified an additional time. So, a unit in Jan 1942 in heavy snow can have its CV divided by 1.5 up to 3 times if it fails both checks.
Bug Fixes
• Game does not launch. It was determined that having certain speech recognition software turned on prevented the game from running. Fixed.
• Game crashes when a player assigns a support unit to a level 0 (as yet unbuilt) airbase that is not in a town/city/urban hex. It should not be possible to attempt to assign a support unit to a level 0 airbase, but you can attach a support unit to a city/town/urban hex where an airfield is being constructed. Fixed.
• Soviet AI is moving some fort units that should be immobile (Coastal Artillery Divisions and Fortified Regions). Fixed.
• CR HQ tab “frozen” column rollover text is incorrect. Fixed.
• Disbanding and creating depots from the city detail window in some cases could cause a crash to desktop. Fixed.
• Game crashed on turn 53 in AI phase. Fixed - several causes for possible AI crashes were found and fixed.
• CR HQ Tab - Map filter does not filter out HQs in TBs. Fixed.
• Unable to select PIL (pilot) column on Air / AOG CR tab. Fixed.
• Can't attach flak/construction units to cities (but AP is charged). (this was only an issue in the beta updates) Fixed.
• OB screen number of ready guns is wrong (always equal to total guns). Fixed.
• Black tiles appear in some coastal hexes when game is saved with weather setting different from show air/ground. Fixed.
• OKL leader listed with German a/c on Soviet side of combat results window. Fixed.

Got the update today: Easy Peasy.

One problem: on my monitor, the text is now much smaller than in version 1.00.00.

Monitor Setting: 3840 x 2160 (recommended)

Had this issue with other games, but for the life of me cannot remember the fix. Any help?

Mirror Download links refuse to open.

A new tab appears and is gone in a flash with the linked page never opening.

Is there another route to this update?

Might well be a pointless suggestion, but could it be a firewall, ad/extension blocker, or some kind of similiar software blocking you from opening the link?
I know I have trouble opening seperate extension files some times, and it asks in a similar way to what you have described

On my PC the tab opens and closes, because the file that is linked is being downloaded in the background, from an FTP server. Please check download dialogue in browser, or if you're using a download manager, the file should be downloading there. In any case, there is nothing wrong with the ftp links forum-side.
