Ekaranik - both A & B are the same above. Am I missing something or is it a typo?

Apologies ... what I meant was ...

Case A) jre\bin\java -Xss30m -Xms300m -Xmx600m CNAW did not work, gave same error as mentioned before.

Case B) jre\bin\java -Xss30m -Xms300m -Xmx600m -classpath . CNAW worked and the game ran ok.

So if I buy this game, I have to type in all of these command lines to get the game to load!!!

No, it's best not to make assumptions based on a single tech support thread. This works out of the box on the vast majority of systems without needing any tweaks or tech support.

Thanks for the reply. Can you tell me if the patches affect any of the smaller scenario's, or are they directed at the campaign game?

I can verify that, although I had to have a long chat with my AVS before I found a solution. Morman AV doesn't like W32/W.B.

Some changes are scenario specific but many effect game rules or general behaviour so apply to all.

well gentlemen and all
there seems to have been quite a flurry of activity on my original query.
I have all the relevent files in digi download puchase. I have not loaded any of the patch versions ,nor reinstalled XP but....
 Can someone-anyone now advise me-please...
 
HOW do I start my game???
Can anyone spare the time to provide me with a  java friendly walkthrough  for the process.
Thank you in advance

You mean Ian and Firepowerjohan don't have all the answers? My.my,my.

Too bad you waited for my review, you wouldn't have bought the game. Ask Matrix for credit toward Napoleon's campaigns. My copy of CNAW started fine. Sorry I can't be more help.

Thanks for your valuable input Jim, but unfortunately it misses the point again.
 
Jon, there seems to be some problems with the certain machines running the Matrix version from some of the shortcuts. Erik is investigating but as they can't repeat it it's not that simple for them to locate. Can you try running the game from the start menu shortcut instead of the autorun pop up box and see if that helps. It seems to be related to the installer rather than the game. Ekaranik has found a potential work around, see above, but it requires you to type some commands in to a dos box. I understand if you're not comfortable doing that and as soon as it's resolved I'm sure Matrix will release a patch to fix it.

Jon,

Please try the "Quick Start" shortcut in your Start menu folder for CNAW instead of going through the Game Menu and see if that helps. If that doesn't work, you may need to try the manual shortcut procedure above (let us know if you need help with that).

Regards,

- Erik

Erik ,this is indeed what I first tried when I bought the game but no joy.So therefore..
Can you give me an "idiot's guide" to the cmd.exe instructions please.
and
email me me when the patch is released.

and thanks to Iain McNeil too

We have made a change to the shortcut and game menu that should fix the problem and will hopefully be available with the next patch.

And the next update should be officially released tomorrow, so hang on until then please.

So do I get a reward for the fix I told you about ?
 
Perhaps a copy of "Close Combat: Wacht am Rhein "

yeh good point ...compensation for lost playing time,lost second youth,saving utility bills???
just a thought.
Cheers
