Hello Jason

I have a couple of problems with JTCS playing through Vista and I thought there maybe a quck fix I am unaware exists.

1.) When making maps using the first screen in the editor I get garbled boxes for the different terrain types instead of the individual slide bar pix. The boxes for map size are also garbled so I have to guess by mental count instead of seeing a number.

2.) When I make maps direct or through random scenario generation, the editor does not apply the town names.

Any suggestions on what you think may be going on? On another computer which uses XP I don't see these issues.

Any help would be appreciated!
Best Always!

I recently acquired a Vista laptop, give me a few days (ish) to test it out.

Gents,

Nice idea but unfortunately it didn't seem to work on my machine. I may have to accept there is a compatibility problem here for the moment.

I have ultimate and premium. i have note tested on ultimate yet. Is there video card issues maybe?

Hi Jason,

Here is another map making issue I thought you should be aware of if you're not already.

The slider for Bocage in map making does not work either through Windows XP or Vista. I'm running both operating systems through different computers. I first began noticing the problem in playing the DCG "Caen & Beyond" After seven scenarios there was no Bocage to be found. Then I tried making a couple of maps and put the slider on full and three-quarters. No bocage!

Maybe someone can look into that for the next upgrade.
Thanks

Was anything resolved about the garbled boxes?  I have Vista and I have to guess as to the percentages of terrain.
