I waited a bit and all of the PIAT squads developed green icons. I don't know why. I sent some of my troops back to man the three artillery peieces and the rest with the PIATs after the tanks. I think I took out most of the tanks with the artillery and won the mission quite quickly (and easily). The next mission, capturing Gavrus, CTD. I've tried different force mixes (all infantry, different armour, etc.) but same CTD.

I need another hint. I've moved my squad over to the PIAT squads. How do I take command of soldiers with gold icons? I've tried adding them to a group with the shift +1 and ctrl + 1 keys but that doesn't do anything. Are there other controls that I can use?

Out of the 8 members of the squad, it's only my little buddy Dennis Hardy, the PIAT operator, that has 4 rounds of PIAT ammo. None of the other squad members have PIAT ammo.

I did take all of the panzers in range of the artillery I manned. The only panzers left where a long ways away to the north(?), out of line of site of my artillery, regardless of where I dragged it. I've just recently returned to this game. Can you give me another hint on how to get more ammo for the PIAT's? Is it in a box, on the ground or in a vehicle? And do I have to chase the panzers all over the map to win the scenario? OK, that would be two hints.

I've seen some references to JSH 1.3.2 on this forum. I've found JSH 1.3.1 on CMOD and someone posted a link on this forum to 1.3.2 but the link doesn't work. Can someone point me in the right direction? Thanks.

I found the solution for my rig. I reset the settings on my ATI X1900XT to "Factory Settings" with the "Preferences" tab. Now the shadows work properly.

Try resetting your settings on your ATI cards to "Factory Defaults". You can find this in the "Preferences" tab. This worked for me with the same problem on another game; Take Command: 2nd Manassas.

I found some improvement in the framerate. I reset the settings on my ATI X1900XT to the "Factory Defaults" and the mission is playable. Now I have to figure out how to win the first mission. First try at it I manned two of the artillery pieces and did quite well until one of them took a direct hit and the gun and crew were wiped out. I dragged the remaining one around hunting disabled enemy armour but lost a couple men to snipers and was soon down to two men. Any hints?

The first one, with all of the yellow icon units moving around. After a while, maybe less than 5 minutes, the game freezes up. I just tried it without using Alacrity and same slow mo slide show effect.

I tried your campaign last night , but unfortunately it's a stutter fest for my system. Plays like a slide show. My rig is average, with a 184 opteron and an ATI X1900XT and I'm using Alacrity to shut down all unneccessary programs and services. http://kensalter.com/forum/index.php?PHPSESSID=9fcbf14562d479f648192507533e57be&

http://www.battlefront.com/community...t=83555&page=4 Link above is dead for me, even if I copy and paste it. I've also looked through al the forums and can't find it. Can you point us to the thread where it is linked? Thanks.

I played for a few minutes with your mod last night and it's fantastic. Completely changes the game. Much more immersive. This is a must have. Thanks.

I've got the same problem. I've got an ATI X1900XT with the CAT 8.12 driver

Try this from Madmatt. It worked for some of us: Here is the fix: -------------------------------------------------------------------------------- We have discovered an issue for people that installed the game from DVD and then applied the patch. Those people are missing a single file that will keep the patched version of Theatre of War from properly launching. To fix this issue, simply rename the file called tow2.dll (located in the Theatre of War game directory) to elicen40.dll That should do it!

The game runs fine from the dvd install, before I install the patch. I can run TOWsetup before the patch. But after the patch, nothing runs, including the TOWsetup, even after trying all the fixes in the faq for when the game won't start.

I've been running the game from the download until the patch. I uninstalled the game, cleaned things out with ccleaner and jv16 powertools, turned off my antivirus and installed the game from the disk, started it up and entered my license number and then installed the patch. The game doesn't start. I've tried all of the fixes in your faq and troubleshooting guide, including doing another install. It doesn't start when I click on tow or tow 1.4 in the game file. I have an Opteron 185.

I oposted the following questions in the general forum before this forum started. I would appreciate some feedback on my questions Are paratroopers any more effective that members of a regular army squad in using captured artillery pieces or vehicles because of their special training? I read somewhere on these forums that the medic in the staff squad doesn't do anything medic wise. If he is of no use, is the staff squad, without a bazooka, worth the extra 15 points more than a regular squad or paratroopers? Do they add some command bonus to the larger group? They do have a sniper.

Couple of questions re the first battle in the Allies Campaign. Are paratroopers any more effective that members of a regular army squad in using captured artillery pieces because of their special training? I read somewhere on these forums that the medic in the staff squad doesn't do anything medic wise. If he is of no use, is the staff squad, without a bazooka, worth the extra 15 points more than a regular squad or paratroopers? Do they add some command bonus to the larger group?

I've got an AMD dual core Opteron 185 and have had only a couple of game lock ups. Other that that the game loads and runs fine

Found the solution in the towsetup.exe in the game file

I have a Samsung 244T and to get widescreen I selected 1152 X 864 at 75 mhz, even though my lcd runs at 60 mhz. It would have helped to have something in the manual about this. Can I edit the conf file to run at 1920 X 1200?
