Any news on the 1.08 patch?

Gary Grigsby’s War in the East: The German-Soviet War 1941-1945 is a turn-based World War II strategy game stretching across the entire Eastern Front. Gamers can engage in an epic campaign, including division-sized battles with realistic and historical terrain, weather, orders of battle, logistics and combat results.

The critically and fan-acclaimed Eastern Front mega-game Gary Grigsby’s War in the East just got bigger and better with Gary Grigsby’s War in the East: Don to the Danube! This expansion to the award-winning War in the East comes with a wide array of later war scenarios ranging from short but intense 6 turn bouts like the Battle for Kharkov (1942) to immense 37-turn engagements taking place across multiple nations like Drama on the Danube (Summer 1944 – Spring 1945).

From the filesize it looks to be the first revision which had problems with the german version. I can't dl it at the moment for a hash comparison.

I haven't checked if the language .xls for the German version works. So far, the English version works like ace! Thanks for the hard work lads!

Hi all:

Downloaded v1.08 and I'm getting a 'not installed' error. I have the German version; and I have tried to install as admin, and not as admin, with the same result.

My WITE is installed on Drive G. Win 8.1; 16 gig memory; 7970 with 3gig with latest drivers and running at 2560x1440. Downloaded via Firefox.

Will try re-installing on Drive C (SSD). Will post result shortly.

Cheers.

Reinstalled to C drive as admin, now getting 'Fatal Error Code#801... error with your game's serial number as currently configured...'. Really?

Double checked serial number entry and checked in serialreg.txt and it is entered correctly.

Will do registry cleanout; and a new clean install.

I have no experience with German versions. Maybe Denniss will help. English version installs fine on top of 1.07.15.

I had no isue with the german version installed in the XP VM but I get this error once I moved it from the VM to my main computer as the serial number from the registry does not match the number stored inside some files in the installation folder.
Try running the game executable with Admin rights, sometimes it's an issue with the ggwite.exe that doesn't like running from c:\program files without admin rights.

It's working now for some inexplicable reason- not that I'm complaining.

Thanks for all your tremendous efforts in bringing this to fruition.

Not seeing “SET COLOR” option for unit, unless at very bottom, resolution... can change screens later.

I think the vast majority of us really appreciate and understand what you are doing for us. This coming update wouldn't happen if it wasn't for the dedication of a few probably unpaid volunteers. The patch won't generate any money for the company so we should understand that you will release it when your schedule permits.

It's far better to release it after everything's been tested because those who complain it's taking too long are the first to complain that it hasn't been tested when things go wrong.

Thanks again for all your efforts. [&o][&o][&o]


I believe it may generate money for them as I am looking at purchasing this game after seeing the dedication but forth. If I like it like I'm sure I will - I imagine I will grab West front also. Sure is better than my sitting WiF and maps.

I'm afraid, I was'nt very clear.
I'm playing a PBEM with 1.07.15.
Is it advisable to download this new one ????
Because I would like try it in another game.
But maybe it's better to do a copy, one for 1.07.15 and another one for 1.08;
If it's the case what's the best procedure to do it ???

Yes - what I did was copy 1.07.15 into a new folder and installed 1.08 on the original.

It is possible to continue older games, however a significant part of 1.08 features that depend on new generic data won't work (and a tiny part will behave badly) in games started under 1.07. We can't accept feedback from such games, only pure 1.08-based feedback will be important for possible fixes and tweaks. That said, I intend to continue my PBEM (started under 1.06 and running for 2+ years) under 1.08.
