  1. My 2 cents: I have to agree most with Mavraam. The pacific by itself would be a little dull and generic. Yet if SC2 were to include the entire world including the pacific, this indeed would be very cool. I think some "shrinking" of some countries and oceans and merging of small countries and islands, would still be required to keep the number of hexes to a minimum, and the game manageable. However, I would not change the unit or map scale at all. Hundminen
  2. The Pbem files are supposed to end in .sav. As Hubert said, try zipping it first. My opponent was sending me files with 0 bytes, and was crashing me. Seems his ISP was stripping the attachment. He used winzip, and no problems since. Hundminen
  3. I figured it out - one of my 3 opponents was sending me a file, which if I placed into Pbem folder, it would crash the game every time. Incindently, that file was 0 bytes in size, but my opponent kept insisting he sent 465KB. One I got rid of it , no problem opening others. Hundminen
  4. I have started 2 PBEM games, and my opponents have each returned the PBEM files, which I saved to the c:\program files\strategic command\Pbem folder. However, when I select Load PBEM game from the main menu, SC promptly closes and dumps me to the desktop. Everything else is fine (including loading saved games). I am running v1.02. I uninstalled demo, and re-installed SC and pacth over the top of existing program. Any thoughts?
  5. Now that I'm embarking on several PBEM games, I'm hoping that we get a heads-up a few days before any new patches are released, which render the current PBEM games unplayable. Then we'll know whether to start new PBEM games or not. I fondly remember the early days after CMBO was released, and we were getting updated patches it seemed every few days. Only problem was if you updated, it would make your present PBEM games obsolete. While it was nice to have the game updated all the time, sometimes it was a real pain in the @$$. Hundminen
  6. Okay, so is "soon" like a summer turn, fall,spring turn, or winter turn? Hundminen
  7. Let me know as soon as you receive your copy of SC. When I pre-ordered, the estimated delivery time to Canada was quoted as 2-4 weeks! So I am eager to find out if any copies actually clear our esteemed cutoms offices any sooner than that. Of course, I'll be quite happy to receive it at all, given the fact I didn't enter a province in the address info box. Hope they figure it out.
  8. Actually, if Hubert lives here in Toronto, maybe he could give me his address, and I'll drive over and pick it up. Seriously though, will the demo be expanded to add a little more game play? Anyone?
  9. I have purchased the game, but am getting frustrated every time the demo ends mid-41. I am in Canada, so I won't get my copy for another 4-6 weeks. Is there any plans to add another 6-12 months to the demo time limit? Just curious. Hundminen
  10. Excuse my obvious ignorance, but how does one go about bringing Russia into the game in the gold demo? I've played from both sides, and Russia remains neutral until the demo expires mid 1941. Hundminen
  11. Order # 78378 One Question - The order info screen wouldn't accept my province (Ontario), since I am in Canada, and it has "invalid" for the state. Are the people who mail this to me going to figure this out, or will it get lost in the mail? Hundminen
  12. I have EXACTLY the same problem. The box at the bottom goes black, and I can see only a little bit of text. I also think it happens after pressing esc to get to desktop or to CMHQ chat when I'm setting up a TCP/IP game. Then I have to finish the game "blind". I have an ATI 128, so I don't think it has anything to do with the vid card or drivers. I also noticed this only since converting to 1.1. I played at least a dozen TCP/IP with 1.05 and it never happened once. Also, I haven't touched any hardware or drivers for over a year now. Also, I have no mods loaded. My hunch is it is a bug in 1.1
  13. I periodically will start a new game with the command box at the bottom of the screen is black only with a little bit of white text representing only the unit data and so on. The actual colored graphics are completely missing, as are the words beside the pop-up command boxes. This happens periodically, ever since I loaded v1.1. I have no mods loaded. I use ATI rage 128 16mb card. Everything else looks normal. Any ideas?
