Got problems

[Rossj]

Started to play on my laptop (512megs RAM)
loads very slow, crashes after several game months, some artillery not showing up on the quick battle screen...tried low anim, didn't help
Transferred it to my desktop (2gigs RAM)
loads alittle faster, but still crashes and some artillery still not showing up on QB map

Like the game, but these crashes and slow load make it unplayable, maybe I'll try again after a patch

Siege artillery don't show up in quick combat -- they are not combat units.  Perhaps this is what you are seeing with that.

Is the crash related to the siege CTD that's been reported on this subforum?  We have a patch to fix that and are now just waiting for it to be promulgated.

I have the same problem. No arty shows on the quick combat screen. Napoleons, howitzers, or even 6 pd'ers.

I reported that the 6 pounders may have a linking problum, you say some of the others do not show too ?

dang, the ones I use normally show up, it will be reported

[Artmiser]

yeah I have seen that but if you watch the animations some of the infantry have the artillary animations for the shot effect, have to pay more attention could be the arty is not getting its arty animations and getting a generic inf one.

that could be, Arty was finished late, so not all the art may be linked correctly (that is easy to forget)

early on, Inf was the Arty

Arty show up as a blank square on my machiine. Prolly the link up thing.

Roger, I went in tonight and ran though all the gun types in Quick combat and then reported which ones are not showing on the screen

I pretty much play with Detail Combat on, so I wasn't seeing this, and with the numbers in later battles, it could be easy to miss

it is being looked into
