so a few more tries later

gets this



full screen and looking so much better with all txt correct[;)]

and menu's almost sorted but plenty good enough to play, but the blue box never ever goes to cover the overlay, so maybe that's a max size and how it is, and never made it larger, no matter what size i put it on, but all buttons and labels work and are in the right place etc now[;)]




there, hope that's better?

if you wish to see a certain part, give me a save and i'll load it and show it[:'(]

Thank you for all of your effort. Have you tested campaign battles without a crash? Are you able to exit from battles and save without a crash?

yes but only for a few turns, i didn't finish a campaign, with saving and loading, there is a pause, so you have to wait for the screen to appear, sometimes i alt tabbed in and out and back in again to see the screen, which was there once i did it, same as the options menu, it's slow some times and you think it hasn't worked, but has, but for some reason there is a slight delay, rest of game is instant, so these 3 things make you think it's faulty or broken, but wait a few seconds or alt tab and then go back and each time it worked as normal for me

if you got a campaign save, i'll play it for a number of turns and post it back if you like?

just say how many etc and attach the save

Its not the campaign map that has issues, its when you get into the 3d battles with 100s of planes, the game usually crashes with a text error within a few minutes. Also when in the 3d battles when you try to exit after a big fight and hit alt x, the game usually crashes. That is what I would like you to test. Just load up the first campaign, fast forward the time until enemy squadrons make contact, jump into a 3d battle, and see if you can fight for 10 minutes with out a crash, and then see if you can alt x out of it back to the campaign map. I would really appreciate it if you did those things, to see if we have a miracle break through.

ok away for a week but back on the 3rd of may so will do a requested and do a follow up and post results

Thank you zakblood. With the end of the school year as a teacher, tutoring, getting ready to move, and getting married in June, I don't have too much time to keep testing things to see if they work, I rather play with what I know is working like Cliffs of Dover, IL Sturmovik BOS, or Falcon BMS. Good luck and I really hope you found the cure for this awesome game that just won't work in windows 10.

Any luck zakblood?

sorry not had time, i could do with a save off someone at a given point and then continue from there, as then i can or could at least get a understanding on what or where it crashes and why etc, instead of having to do it my self and maybe it never happening, this is why all developer like saves from a given point and instructions on what to do and how you got there etc so can replicate it, as for me i'd just end turn for 3 turns or 20 odd and see what happens, so not actually playing it, just a test for a given and known crash

No save needed. Just start the British campaign on July 10th, fast forward to the first enemy contact, then fly. (This takes a minute.) Save the campaign before flying. Two things cause the crash in 3d. Flying into 100s of enemy planes in the campaign, and then hitting alt x to exit. So first try flying around the 100s of enemy planes for a few minutes, but I doubt that you will make it for more than 5 minutes, most likely it will crash in the first minute. (And just make sure that you have the invulnerability setting, so you don't have to worry about being shot down.) If there is no crash after flying then try to exit back to the campaign hitting "alt x" If you can get the game to work without those things causing a crash, you will have performed a miracle. People have tried for a couple of years.

If you try this I and many others will be very thankful, even if you do not get it to work. But you seem to really know what you are doing, so we have hope.

Any luck getting it to work with the above parameters?

sorry again to say, atm not had time to test it, but as soon as i do, i will post the results[:(]

Hello everybody. I bought it a few days ago and it worked fine on my Win 10 64 bit system. But now since yesterday it crashes in the flight missions and I land again on the desktop and it should not crashes and I crash down with my plane and you should leave it with ALT + X crashes there

hi! I have Bob2 and was having issues with the 2.13 version so i uninstalled everything (i have windows 10 64bit btw) and reinstalled my version - my version is the "Big Bytes" dvd version - the type of one you would get in the bargain bins in the past, so i am not sure what version of BOB2 this even is

in any case, i installed it as admin and havent applied any patches as again i dont kow what version this even is and perhaps this conflicts with the 2.13 version or something, - i did just have the compat setting as winxp sp3 and that is all, - and in game everything is running great! it doesnt even crash if i alt-x out of a mission and i was trying some big histore battles and no crashing so far. i am sure some crashes will come up but so far it might be stable enough to enjoy again at last!
I think i will have to just stay away from the 2.13 version or something, - i would though like to know what version this big bytes GMX Media version is

thanks for the note. Then I will completely delete the game again and reinstall it and see if it works without patches. Also, Win 10 64 bit.
