Strategic Command v1.16 Beta Update Available

[OxfordGuy3]

Is it just me, or are the Poles tougher (on default difficulty Vs AI) than they used to be? e.g. the Polish 10th Army Mech in the SW seems harder to kill with my usual tactics - attack first with the German Army you can attach to an HQ (which used to almost always do 3 points of damage), then with the Army that's out of range of HQ attachment. Under 1.16 the first attack seems to only do 2 points of damage most of the time now, and the second attack doesn't kill it.

I have done this multiple times on two different computers and continue to get this same error message re: campaigns.

As a test I just installed on two of my laptops and have zero problems.

Installed 1.0 Retail, Patched retail to 1.15, then extracted 1.16 beta folders over game files. It should prompt to overwrite ~440 files. When you start the game, it should say 1.16 in lower right corner.

I even tested this same process on the Steam version (without 1.15 step since it's automatic). No problems there, either.

[mroyer]

So, I completely uninstalled v1.15 and made sure there was no trace of it (just in case some mod or other messed it up). Then I installed 1.0 (as per Kornstalx's suggestion) and then v1.15. Then I overwrote the 440 files with v1.16beta. I ran it, got the new v1.16 splash screen and v1.16 in the lower right corner. But, still it failed (per my above post) when I clicked on "Single User".

Could it be something in Windows 10 settings that's causing a permissions issue when copying over files in a sub-folder of Program Files folder?

Looking forward to the improvements. Zero supply subs & units is getting very old.

Run the game exe as administrator...should run, and you shouldn't get the "FAILED(Select Campaign...) error .

[Bennett]

Thanks to cosmoO. Running the exe from the file worked for me. No longer get the campaign error.

Hubert & Bill,

Would it be possible to set the game to read the <Userid...Media> folder as the primary/default and the <Program Files...Media> folder as the secondary?

That way we can put in replacement pictures (say with a flags mod) without having to change picture names and update the scripts.

Yes, this worked for me too - it ran without error when I ran it as administrator.
Thanks CosmoO.

Will these fixes be applied to WaW, too? I have a custom campaign that is experiencing the first dot point (Major 01 bitmap retrieval).

Hi developers,

any time plan when the new patch will be a final version? Just wondering because I'm about starting a new game and if the new patch will be out in a few days I would delay the start until then.

Yep, I know... I try to be more patient soon

Hi Taxman66,

Is this to target the default campaigns or for a custom campaign?

Hubert

[Taxman66]

I just want to add the .png picture files (from the historical flags mod) into a 'custom' campaign and not have to change the picture file names and then change the scripts to the new name/id.

I don't want to add them into/modify the default campaign in case I want post pictures here or do another pbem AAR.

[Templer_12]

After the update, the German national anthem is no longer the German national anthem. But therefore dramatic movie music!?...

No anthem on Paris, Rome and Madrid? [:(]

Hi Mika,

It might be a little bit of time still as things are just getting sorted out now that we are back from holidays.

Thanks and the German and Italian national anthems will be fixed. The anthem for Paris and Rome (although incorrect for now) will play but only if there is no unit on the capital.

Madrid has never had an anthem.

Yes this will be fixed for WaW as well.

I just double checked and it already works this way [:)]
