not on that side sorry, as they have screenshot and save, if they can repliace a bug, then they can fix it, if they can't, there's not a lot they can do either i'm sorry to say

Zak, i provided save game, and they haven't even gotten back to me.

then maybe they are waiting for the developer, like i said, if they can find a bug, they will make a fix and patch, if they can't, there's not alot anyone can do, atm it's just a waiting game i'm sorry to say

Any way to edit the game?

never tried tbh

can't find anyone anywhere who has so far asked and had a reply, so now looking at the file format and engine, i'd say no, well not so easy and not editor out there so maybe something to add at a later date, but not heard anything so hopefully one of them will see this and comment

This is a tough game to master LOL even on easy I lose at several points in campaign. It would be nice to be able to edit in more stuff to help.

Ok on Easy the central command campaign, after Kursk I lose 2 tank divisions several infantry divisions and some mobile divisions. I specifically spent the first few battle building new Divisions and they just poof. It has happened 3 times now and is very annoying.

I have Win10. If I buy this game will it work?

I use win 10 and it works fine.

yes with windows 10 all versions without issues

Developers have not responded... I provided everything including save game. no response whatsoever... Just pinged Matrix support again today. I would like to finish this game but it's unplayable with this bug.

I have changed my Steam review to 'do not buy' due to this bug, which IMHO makes this game unplayable. The last response as of 9/7/2019 is that the developer is not responding...I give up.

Does Panzer Doctrine have a Collector's Edition?

Well Panzer Doctrine did not have a Collector's Edition but I bought it anyway.

I hope I don't encounter the bugs that others have mentioned.

Glad to see some feedback in the forum. I was gonna buy this at the Christmas sale, but If you can't finish a match, and you can't get a response that doesn't bode well. Guess I'll skip it and spend my $8 somewhere else.

I encountered the bug that is previously mentioned but I solve the problem with saving the game every so often and when the glitch occurs I simply restart at my last save. I have completed all campaigns now.

The issue with battles not resolving but freezing units in place when there are no defenders left is still happening. In one game I had five battle do this at the same time. Of the 18 Divisions in my army, all but two of them were locked up. Very frustrating.
This is very poor of the developers to market a broken game and not fix it, regardless of how cheap the game is.

In addition to this, a few issues I've folund.

Fighters and ground support aircraft cannot be used manually in battles. The bombers are the only air unit that can have a manually selected target, however this seems to have no effect on the target in any way.

I use my mobile Divisions to surround enemy Divisions, then attack from both sides, yet I'm often getting messages that my mobile Divisions have had their supply cut off even though the line is clear.

how to you tell how many air units an airfield can have? The only way to know is to try to put an air unit there and see if an airbase full message comes up.

Played the Leningrad scenario in the Army Group North campaign, however after the initial attacks, large parts of my army was continually out of supply until about 6 hours before the end of the game, slowing everything down, when they suddenly were supplied. This was despite taking all care to make sure no enemy got behind my lines. I barely got across the Neva river and just managed to get a draw.

Where is the manual?

I really want to like this game, but like Land Combat it seems to have major bugs affecting playability. Both games have really great ideas in them that are spoiled by shoddy workmanship. I will be very wary of buying anything from Z9k in future.

Yeah it's unfortunate. The developer abandoned this game right around the time of my last post. I opened a support request with Matrix, provided a save file, etc. nothing. Post a negative review on steam and hopefully save someone the pain. So much promise, such a good game, so flawed.
