Matrix Games Forums

I don't know what to call this, so I'll just describe what happened:

I played through the Malin and Pripets Marsh scenarios, then was redirected back to Malin. After re-fighting Malin, it appeared that I was again going to have to go through the Pripets Marshes. However, when I tried to initiate the first Pripets Marshes battle, the screen registered an error message saying that various OOB files could not be loaded. The numbers went by very quickly, but I managed to catch three of them; 01, 38, and 127(?). Then the game closed. Any idea what might have caused this? When I restarted SP:WaW, it went right to the Mega-Campaign menu, and not the 'Choose your game Colonel' menu. Wierd!

I've made several attempts to restart the saved game of MCLV mentioned in the above post. I re-examined the oob numbers flashing by, and the ones I could read were 01, 38, and 225. I even tried shutting down my PC and restarting it to see if that helped any, and it didn't. I'll restart the MC and see if I run into the same problem. (It will be a while before I know, as I've already fought more than a few battles up to this point.)

Should I consider reloading the MC, or wait to see if this is something that needs a fix from Matrix? Thanks in advance for your help with this!

PS: er, sorry, that was definitely no help for you

Hi Eric,

No ideas to help you, that never happened to me. Hopefully an expert will read this thread.

Just thought you might feel better <img src="smile.gif" border="0">

What were your results, draw, defeat? A Victory in Potapov Strikes leads to the next node, An Elusive Foe also in the Pripet marshes. A decisive defeat senfds you to the rear. I cannot find evidence of a loop as such in the editor. Did you play the Wittmann scenario?

There is a loop in the editor from The Unfriendly Pripet back to The Kolkhoze. This will be corrected in a patch. If you want it right away, e-mail me
