SoW Gettysburg and Win 11

Post by paulrsxk »

Guys,

Had problems getting this to work in Win 11. Solved it by doing the following

1. Install Gettysburg 1.5 into the program default install folder on C drive. Check that it runs. It will/should.
2. Update to SowG to version1.61 and check functionality. Should be ok.
3. Install Antietam. check functionality. Menu bars will be red bars, no text. Set win compatibility to win 7 on the game menu shortcut on your desktop. Text should be restored. Check functionality. All should run ok.
4 install Pike Creek. Check functionality. All well?
5. Install Brandy Station check functionality.
6. Install Chancellorsville, check functionality.

That's it. I downloaded the program files from the Matrix website prior to each module installation. No mods were installed, it was vanilla from start to finish.

Cheers

Paul
