TOAW III Lock up and France 40

Post by Neepster »

On my Win 2000 machine, TOAWIII often locks up within the first 1 or 2 turns during the end of turn stuff. This is with the current beta patch AND with the original .12 install. This has happened on the Original Korea scenario as well as on the original France 40. Note that I haven't seen this happen on my Windows Vista Beta 2 machine running in XP compatibility mode.

One other note, I have seen a wierd behavior in that about 2-5% of the combat resolution windows do not seem to open or show, even when I am the one initiating combat...

By the way, France 40 has all the units set to reconstitute, which makes no sense whatsoever in a 6 week campaign. So I am going in and manually changing them and I came up with a new feature request for the editor.

Please include some way of setting ALL the units for a give side to either reconstitute or not reconstitute with a SINGLE CLICK. It takes me 20 minutes to go through and click that for all the units in France 40, which is not a giant scenario. That would be most desireable. Thanks.

Try to set your compatibility mode for TOAW III in your Win 2000 machine to Win98 compatibility mode.

There's a chance that it's not locking up, but thinking very hard[;)] I've noticed that there are a couple of scenarios where reconstitution takes a LONG time (think hours) to complete. Supply can also take considerable time. I'm looking into improving the times in a future update.
