Please report your system OS and 32/64 bit

Hi all,

[posted the same question in DC:Case Blue forums, answering one post is enough]

I am dealing with a difficult bug present in Win8 (not officially supported yet) and in Windows7 if you installed the KB2670838 windows update.

If you have one of the following configurations:

a) Win8, 32bit
b) Win8, 64bit
c) Windows7, 32bit with the KB2670838 windows update
d) Windows8, 64bit with the KB2670838 windows update

Please let me know wich of these configurations you have and if you are experiencing any application crashes, for example after loading a big scenario 2 times and scrolling around a bit

Please also let me know if you DO NOT experience any problems if you have one of these OS configurations.

ps: to check if you have the KB2670838 patch installed or not go to configurarion->remove programs->remove update and check if this KB is in this list or not. If it is there it should be in the "Microsoft Windows" category. You could also check the configuration->windows updates->history of updates screen, the update is about 10 days old.

Thanks for your time. It is appreciated.

Best regards,
Vic

Win 7 64bit with the KB2670838 windows update, had repeated crashes

removed that update and hid it, and now no crashes

Win 7, 64 bit. Had the update with crashes; removed it, problem solved.

Hi all,

Thanks for all your feedback. It helped!

Anyway. After a week of painstaking work I think i found a complete fix.

Not yet uploaded to matrix, so this can only be tried out by players that know how to manually install a file.

If you can and you have had the bug, please test it out. Preferably with windows8 and/or Windows7 with the KB2670838 installed!

Here is the new Case Blue v1.05j
http://www.vrdesigns.nl/CaseBlue105j.zip

And here the new Warsaw To Paris v1.51j
http://www.vrdesigns.nl/WarsawToParis151j.zip

And let me know if it works for you. Best test to see if the bug is fixed is loading the largest scenario a couple of times and trying to save it while in game.

Best regards,
Vic

Windows7, 64bit WITHOUT the KB2670838 windows update.

No crashes to report.

Windows 8 64bit seems to work fine after instaling the patch although only played a couple of turns.

Thanks Vic

Win7 64bit, with KB installed.

Extracted the .exe file from the downloaded zip and copied to install folder.

Game now crashes immediately with a 'File not found' exception:

Code: Select all

System.IO.FileNotFoundException: File not found.
    at System.Drawing.Text.PrivateFontCollection.AddFontFile(String filename)
    at WindowsApplication1.GameClass..ctor(Form1 tformref)

Awesome game - can't wait to get back to playing it

Hi Abstract,

Its due to not putting the files in the zip in their propper locations.

Please use the official patch installer:
tm.asp?m=3288809

best,
Vic
