Looking for patches for old Matrix Game "La Grande Armee at Austerlitz"

[Agathosdaimon]

Hi!
I had not had any luck getting this "La Grande Armee at Austerlitz", the precursor to Histwar working in the past on windows 7, but jsut now i installed it v1.0 and to my surprise it is working fine on windows 10 with tweaking of compatibility even needed. - Now that i have this awkward but not too bad game working, i am looking for one of its patches - i think there were 3 in all and am wondering if anyone here may have them - a long shot i know - in particular 1.2 patch - 1.1 and 1.3 i have found online in the past

thanks!

1.2 to 3 patch only i can find

still works and downloads for me anyway.,

so good luck with the others, someone will have them

[zakblood]

here you go, one maybe left [;)]

Code: Select all

if there is a 1.1 patch, i can't find it atm either, so maybe the original game was 1.1 on release?

Thanks for that! hmm it must have been 1.1 i was after, i will try it with the ones you have listed - i had problems in the past, but maybe it might work this time given the base game is now working for me. the game version upon install is 1.0

sorted

Code: Select all

tried the 3 and they all download anyway, so not sure which one you will want or need tbh

[zakblood]

and it they all work it seems

[Agathosdaimon]

Ah thanks, but you have a differ La Grande Armee game in mind -those patches you found are for Adanac's 1806 game (the almost entirely forgotten precursor to Campaigns on the Danube)- i have that one, the disk at least, but what iwas referring to is the game by Jean Michel Mathe, not the Adanac Frank hunter game

this is the one i am meaning



i am just trying those two patches though now to see if they are all i need

[zakblood]

is it the matrix version? as i'm sure they must keep backup copies etc?

[Agathosdaimon]

it does have matrix games on the cover and the game installs itself to a folder named matrixgames even

well i think those two 1.2 and 1.3 patches worked, though unfortunately the game has some random freezes now, but running it through dxwnd may have fixed this - i guess for anyone interested in games like this it is better to go with SOW Waterloo and Histwar, but i like old buggy games, and this one is though one of the better old ones i think in that the AI performs well with both allied and enemy ai behaviour, with charging, forming squares, supporting, bombarding etc
