I didn't quite know where to post this as the 1.02 beta patch is unofficial.

After patching over 1.01, CaW crashed on loading. I used the task manager to get out, and then on the second attempt it crashed again, but this time a msg box asked if I wanted to restore default options, but I have no clue what these were.

Anyway I agreed, the game loaded, and it's been fun ever since. Perhaps patching over a fresh install was preferable?

Anyway CaW's graphics are improved, there are more features and a new scenario; so far, so good.

Thanks for the report Joe, we'll see if we can duplicate. Posting here is fine, we're hoping for feedback on this public beta before it goes official.

After playing my second CaW game I just realized what exactly the (default) options were: the buttons to the lower right that control weather, hexs, subs, scouts, etc. These were turned off, and had to be turned on to see clouds, etc.

I then restarted the game and it loaded w/o incident, although the options I had just turned on were now off; a minor annoyance, but apparently the game won't load on my system w/these options "on". I didn't have this problem @ v. 1.01

My system is WinXP, Dell Demension E5100 w/dual core and 1 GB Ram, ATIx600 hypermemory 256 MB card

Also:
-- Task Force screen won't close w/the "x" in the upper rt hand corner (you have to hit the button on the bottom to open and close it).
-- The a/c strike reports msg boxes usually don't stay on the screen long enough to get a good look at them!
