Stupid Question # 8,244,252

Post by 33Vyper »

Okay...dont everyone yell at me at once...

How do you re-download the game....and if you do is it at 1.5 or 1.4

I was thinking of deleting all the WITP on my system as I have edited...added mods...played around and probably royally screwed the damn thing up.

Wanted it to be all nice and clean before putting 1.5 in

Try just downloading the game file ... in another thread it is stated that this will be already patched to 1.4

It always does that harrer. It's the last turn you played from the previous game. Your report doesn't have any results from the current turn until the battles are over, so the file is full with the previous turn until it does have new data. IOW unless you have a fresh new install of the entire game, and maybe even then, the first time you will get a good report of the current game is the start of turn two.

A precision : it is a fresh installation of the game as I said and I only play a pbem and I'm in March ! So don't see why this replay is there [X(]

Harrer [&:]

So what does it do beyond this time? Does the next turn show the same date (12/10) or does it show 12/11? Was this a 12/7 report or one on 12/8? IOW is the timeline a set amount off, like three days?

Earlier you said you "reinstalled" it. I suppose that means you didn't just install the game all over again without uninstalling the original one, correct?

No, wait a minute, something doesn't make sense here. You said you "opened saves"? You must mean scenarios and not saves, correct? If you can really open a save then where did the save come from, because there are no saves on a new unistall/install.

I know there is no save or replay in a new installation, and that's why I posted the question : WHY IS THERE A REPLAY ?? [X(]
