Scenario selection menu

Post by WG »

Some of this is covered in the Troubleshooting problems with running the first time, but I thought it worth another topic.

To find out what new players might experience, I have been experimenting with a clean installation. To do a clean install, not only the uninstall script should be run, but also the installation directory and the Documents/My Games directory should be deleted. When 4.1.0.40 is installed, the Scenario Menu doesn't work properly. The BMP backgrounds don't display, and the Documentation button doesn't work. This is also a problem with a clean installation of the Steam version.

Temporary workaround: Cut-and-paste the directories Scenarios and Graphics Override from the installation directory to the My Games/The Operational Art of War IV/ directory. The game then finds the BMP files and documentation, assuming that appropriate apps are installed to read them.

I have long been worried that new players might not know about this fix and would never find the scenario documentation.
