When I selected a stack of three units as usual it shows the individual units on the right hand side of the screen. However when I went to select units at another location the units on the right hand side of the screen from the previous hex remain displayed. I can't get rid of them to show the new units in the most recent hex that I have selected.

Sounds very odd. What game version do you use? What is the map mode is active? Does it stays like that "forever" till you quit the game?

I get this problem, too. What I find clears it up, is to move the mouse cursor around for a moment, and then the screen refreshes the newly selected group. There seems to be a general issue with screen information refreshing in the game.

I also have delays when switching between rail and land movement, as well. Especially, when there is a movement path already traced out. It's like there is a delay in the unloading of resources ingame. Likewise, moving the mouse cursor about seems to facilitate the switchover.

What game version do you use? What is the map mode is active? What are your system specs?

The latest beta runs very smooth even on relatively low specs machines.

Version 1.01. Downloaded the latest patch when it came out. Had to exit the game to get rid of the screen on the lower right hand side. I have a feeling that one GB of RAM is a possible problem. My son is getting his other system back soon and will get more RAM. Alternatively will have a SW specialist buddy of mine that is coming over today setup a virtual RAM drive on my HD and see what that does for me. Will advise.

I moved the mouse everywhere. Tried different modes. In short click and changed everything. Remained on the lower right hand side as fixed as a government tax auditor after your wallet![:D][:D][:D]

Finally just exited to get away from this.

You may try to load the latest Beta it is significantly better on resources when dealing with movement.

2GB's RAM physical
15GB Virtual RAM drive
Nvidia GeForce 9500GT Video card
ACPI Multiprocessor PC Intel(R) Pentium(R) D CPU 3.00GHZ

Setup the RAM drive and restarted a new game. Didn't get far before the bug started again. This time a stack of two units. If I go into CR they are still displayed on the right side of the screen. Same when I go into victory condition screen etc. Tried switching modes along tool bar etc. Nothing gets rid of the constant display of these units. Previous post you mentioned a Beta download what is the link to the version you were referring to? Also even with all this RAM the game is still slow. My friend who is a SW expert thinks it maybe because this game is designed for multiple core processors and I only have the one. What is your opinion of that speculation?

Thanks for your assistance.

Well, I see no point in making extra RAM drives in such situation. In case you close all other applications 2G could be enough. You may get beta patch from here ftp://ftp.matrixgames.com/pub/WarInTheE ... -Beta1.exe.

But according to your description it could be also some drivers issue. Do you have them up to date?

Downloading new drivers and will advise as to how it turns out. As for the RAM drive I have so much unused HD space it is a moot point as to its presence. All that space just sits there doing nothing anyway. So it may as well be used for something useful.

Thanks again for your time and assistance.

New drivers same result. Though I have found that when it happens and I save the game, exit and reload the saved game the problem is gone. Annoying but nothing in this life is perfect! So I will stay with this imperfect solution. Thanks again!
