Welcome aboard, shipmate!  [8D]

Do you happen to have the Beta Patch 3.7.1 installed?

Thank's for the reply no I just checked the version and it is v 3.7.0.0
I will look on the site for the patch at get back to you matey

Warning:  Be careful about installing the patch. [X(]

IMO, the patch is an improvement for solitaire play, but if you intend to try any kind of Multi-player enjoyment, DO NOT install the patch.  From the experience of more than a few folks, a bug has been introduced that will result in CTD if you try MP.

Read the reported problems and install at your own risk.

Harpoon 3 ANW 3.7.1 Beta Update Now Available 

Thank's for the warning, I guess I will now have to join the members club to get the patch.

Here is a temporary work-around solution that some players have used.

We've installed a second installation of Harpoon ANW to a different directory.  One installation (3.7.0) is used when we play MP and the other installation we patch up to Beta 3.7.1 in order to play solitaire.

It seems pretty painless to us.  [8D]

Excellent idea, although I have not played online yet. Not sure if i would enjoy it as it is such a long game, but i do like solitaire for sure.
Not to mention getting into the design your own battles, seems endless fun

If you have 30 minutes and are interested in online play, take a look at this thread:

RE: H3 Multiplayer Server up ..

I'm online, now, and I can get you up and playing and out in about 30-40 mins. It is world's apart from solitaire. Drop into the chat rooms and visit us. [8D]

Many thanks for the offer but sad to say have a clan match for CS S, I now sad but true
Hopefully I will be able to join you guys another time, like I said thank you very much for the help and offer.

Hi there,

from your screenshot it looks like you somehow have 2 RunInWindow.opt files in your Harpoon 3 ANW installation. To solve this problem please do the following:

1. Go to the Harpoon 3 ANW folder
2. Open the "options" folder
3. delete the RunInWindow.opt file

After this you can start Harpoon 3 ANW and play fullscreen.

Cheers,
JP

Problem solved thank's to jpkoester1 and others many thanks matey.

Is the new patch ok for MP play?
 
 

If you are referring to the Beta 3.7.1 patch, please read here:

Harpoon 3 ANW 3.7.1 Beta Update Now Available

You can see that if you try to play ANY type of MP session with the Beta 3.7.1 patch installed, you will likely get a CTD the moment you fire a weapon. [:@]
