Initial Reactions

Installing the game was a problem. The installation quit after asking for a "second disk" (which of course I didn't have), so it never put an icon on the desktop and I suspect that it is incomplete.

Nevertheless when I hit the command.exe file in the main directory the program did try to load, and ponce or twice it "caught" and gave me a main screen. More often though it hangs when I try to load the game, shows only a partial home screen, and I have to kill it with Task Manager.

The once or twice I actually managed to get a scenario loaded it did seem to work OK, though for a new player it is a confusing screen full of units and sensors. This will be the part that takes any player time to learn.

When I put in the newest scenarios and etc from the update pack, and was finally able to get the game to start, either the tutorial or the scenario files caused a fatal crash with a "bug warning".

Not sure what to do next. There is no "Remove" in the windows file management console, but when I manually deleted all the files and reinstalled, the same problems occurred.

Any suggestions would be helpful. Specifically what files do I need to make this work and how do I get the install to go to completion and not ask me for the "next disk"?

Thanks.

The .exe file should be CmdOps.exe, not command.exe. Have not seen it asking for another disk, either, before. As well, there are no sensors, so I am wondering if you posted in the correct game?

Looks to me as a stray Command - the upcoming naval sim - beta tester.

Chet: you'll find the development forums at the bottom of the "All Forums" list.
