Matrix Games Forums

Gentlemen,

I have the version 7 patch for the MC and have been experiencing a strange bug. While playing the MC every so often it lapses into a multi-player game. Normally if it happens during my turn I just save and exit and start again. But if it happens during the British computer player turn I have to ctrl-alt-delete out of the game and thus loose all my progress from the last save. Any idea what may be causing this? Any insite into this would be excellent. Thanks for your time and attention to this.

What operating system are you running?

I am running Windows 98 non-second edition. On a PII 400 with 128 MB of Ram.

Like some of the other "weird" problems this defies troubleshooting becasue it happens so seldom, and seemingly with out cause, and only to some people. I have never seen it in hundreds of hours of playtesting, others see it the first time they play.

Any details on when it tends to occur would help.

One can copy the save files out of the mega campaign folder to "incrementally save" if this tends to strike you a lot.

it also seeems to affect folks with older PCs, a BIOS update might help??? (grasping at straws...)

Paul,

If this is an isolated incident please don't let it bother you. I realize that with a million different computers, operating, systems, etc. it would be impossible to find and fix every possible bug. I can work through it and just have to save more often. I just wanted to bring it up in case it had been reported before.

Thanks for your time and keep up the great work. I eagerly await the opportunity to send more money your way for more great Matrix Games!

Thanks again.

Respectfully,
Jason E. Otto

COuld anyone else who has suffered this "game mode change" please post their system specs here?

As far as I know only 4 people have reported this, and Only one reported that it had occured multiple times to them.

Thanks!
