new patch crashes

Twice very early on T1 in my new .08 game. Able to do my turn at the 3rd attempt.
Also on all 3 tries I could not scroll right with the mouse (other directions OK and not a mouse problem) which could get a bit annoying.

I have game on steam so it won't be my ineptitude in downloading the patch

#1 full screen or windowed
#2 do you have 2 monitors, if so which side is the game run on

The map scroll code has not changed for several versions.

full screen. Have just tested in window mode and problem goes away then.
Do you really think that I could manage more than 1 screen [;)]?

It's the game 'not responding' that worries me. Not ever had this before with WP, and am not getting with any other game.

I've also noted that I get the old 'yugo joins axis' script from my steam update

What I can suggest is to uninstall and reinstall. This is the version the beta testers were running for a good while. It is the newer unity engine.

What is happening I can't replicate. Matrix had some issues with installers this week.

If you know how to go here.
C:\Users\"your user name"\Documents\My Games\WarPlan

delete the Campaigns scenario folder after you uninstall.

I do not have these problems. Are you running with DirectX 12?

no idea but I think WiTE (or some other game) checked I was using latest veraion a few months ago when I reinstalled it.
In the meantime, I'm following Alvaro's advice, and even managed to delete the campaigns folder[8D]

EDIT My turn worked OK this time, inc. my carriers which unexpectedly sank the Hipper , tho' I forgot to check the scenario script. Scrolling problem still there, but only in full screen mode. Windowed mode and max zoom works just as well anyway. I am a Happpyflower again.

I've since had a couple of display driver crashes. On reporting these to Slitherine support, it seems that the problem is my 11 year old graphics card...........

Oh well, I was going to get a new PC anyway. I will return: hopefully not taking as long as MacArthur did,and I don't have this problem with WiTE.

Is the game just crashing when loading? Or in game?

in game, but after I reported the problem, I went to remove my 2 games which had not been picked up by my other opponents yet. I got another graphics card crash when I went to accept them so I could cancel them. Card is Radeon HD5800.
Never mind............
