Working now! Uninstalled everything and updated. I think I figured out the culprit. When I loaded the editor my avast antivirus went off and put the editor file in my virus chest. Had to make an exception and restore. Installed the community pack as well and everything seems to be fine now. Thanks for your help with all of this!

Curious are the patches now the same for WIE and WAW? For instance I noticed the fortification entrenchment for WIE has been upped to 4 but in WAW it still remains 3?

Hi PvtBenjamin,

Which games are these? PBEM++ games or saved games against the computer etc.?

Hi Hubert,

All PBEM. Right click doesn't work now in 1.15.02 (steam) but works in Matrix 1.16

All PBEM. Right click doesn't work now in 1.15.02 (steam) but works in Matrix 1.16

This is likely an oversight, where a player has one version installed under Steam and another under Matrix. I wouldn't advise attempting to play a v1.16 PBEM game under 1.15.02. It likely would corrupt your PBEM game.

For the right click, there was an issue under the old builds of WiE where the setting value was reversed from what it should be, so this would explain why it works under v1.16 and does not under v1.15.02.

To work around this where you have two different builds installed at the same time, which share the same SC3.ini file, you'll have to go to OPTIONS->ADVANCED and change the setting each time when you go back and forth between versions.

Unfortunately no way around this until you fully move on to v1.16 for both Steam and Matrix.

Our goal is to bring both games to the same standard, it is just that the World at War patch has yet to be released that will incorporate this same change. Hopefully soon though.

False alarm. It did it again dammit. Back to the drawing board...

Ok so I have uninstalled the community pack and I think it is working now. I think it has to do something with those backup folders being made. Crossing fingers this stays working!

[PvtBenjamin]

I have a new PC just installed SC3 on Matrix & Steam. Manual won't come up on either. Does anyone know what I need to do?

As an interim solution, you can find the manuals on your hard drive

Matrix Version:

- X:\Program Files (x86)\Matrix Games\Strategic Command WWII War in Europe\Manuals

Steam Version:

- X:\Steam\steamapps\common\Strategic Command WWII War in Europe\Manuals

Get the hot fix or
Find the Manual and rename it adding "_EN".

thanks x2

Happy to report that after uninstalling the community pack my editor problems have been solved. Hope you guys can fix that issue.

I got it to work, converted 653N campaign to v1.16.01 without any issues and now it shows on the games available.
Another thing is if any errors may show up while playing, but that's another story.

Good job Hubert

[Steely Glint]

I got it to work on three of the ten scenarios. Fortunately two of those scenarios were the two most important ones, so I’m good enough.

Hubert,
I am sure most people on this thread understand how difficult it is to field a major upgrade without any glitches across so many people. So I am sure that we all feel the support is great despite the glitches. ANYWAY, THANKS FOR THE GREAT SUPPORT!

A request. I don't have this problem see, "You can have your cake and eat it too" earlier in this thread. But could you post the URLs to the code that are needed to take someone from their original install to 1.15.02. This is so they can have both 1.15.02 and 1.16 installed at the same time as I have. Thus they can play current and old games (1.15.02) and also start new ones at the new baseline of 1.16.

Thanks,

[PvtBenjamin]

I was running 1.15.02 on Steam and 1.16 on Matrix. Switched both to 1.16 I'm not sure they play well together. I had one very interesting game ('43) that I would have preferred to end. Not the end of the world.

To nnason's point.

Agreed.

The authors dedication to listening to players and improving the game is unparalleled and hope everyone focuses on that.

Let me see what I can do as I unfortunately don't control what builds are listed in the Members Downloads area, but I will pass on this request to hopefully get the ball rolling in that direction.
