2-D Unit Sprites for SC 2 WaW
Hubert Cater replied to Philippe's topic in Strategic Command 2 Scenario and Mods Forum
Great stuff Philippe -
sargeweaver, Thanks for the saved game file and I see it is for a custom campaign... taking a look now if it just a matter of this campaign being too large or if there was something included that I did not anticipate that is slowing things down.

WaW & Germany?
Hubert Cater replied to william bowen's topic in Strategic Command 2 Blitzkrieg and Weapons and Warfare
Hey William, Glad to see you are still at it and that the AI is giving you a decent challenge... looking forward to hearing about your conquests over the AI Hubert -
Yes the games will be compatible game mechanics wise but not in terms of actual campaign changes. For example, the new rule for roads giving better supply over rough terrain automatically takes effect, as does the automatic 'Defensive Fire!' for naval units against Amphibious Transports, but changes to the campaign map such as fixing the rail lines around Narvik will only take effect once you start a new campaign. Glad you like the changes

WaW Wacht am Rhein scenario
Hubert Cater replied to pickle's topic in Strategic Command 2 Blitzkrieg and Weapons and Warfare
Hey Pickle, Good catch and don't let these old farts scare you away Hubert -
sargeweaver, Is this for every turn or is it for one turn in particular? For example, if it is a repeatable autosave please send it my way as I can take a look. I would also suggest updating to the latest patch if you have not already done so. Send any applicable files to support@furysoftware.com Thanks, Hubert

In some cases on Vista it saves files in the following directory: Drive:\Users\User_Name\AppData\Local\VirtualStore\Program Files\Battlefront\Strategic Command 2 Weapons and Warfare Expansion\ This link explains the 'Compatibility Files' problem with people running Vista and not being able to see thier files: http://www.hanselman.com/blog/VistasShowCompatibilityFilesAndTheScrumptiousWonderThatIsFileVirtualization.aspx There are two known workarounds: 1) Disable Vista's User Access Control and then it should save the files as expected. 2) The other is that if you do not wish to disable UAC you can try and install the game into any other directory other than the Program Files directory. For example, C:\Games\Weapons and Warfare etc. If you do this it doesn't seem to redirect the files with UAC enabled. Hope this helps, Hubert

sargeweaver, Very odd error and the first I've heard of it... does your turn play very slowly as well, i.e. the speed at which units move, the map scrolls etc.

WaW Long Turn
Hubert Cater replied to sargeweaver's topic in Strategic Command 2 Blitzkrieg and Weapons and Warfare
sargeweaver I posted a response in the Tech forums... locking this one up so the conversation can move over there. -
sargeweaver, Sounds like you meet the minimum specs. I would suggest upgrading your Video Card driver and installing the latest version of DirectX to see if that helps. Also try running the game in 16 bit mode which can be selected from the SETTINGS dialog to see if that helps. Hubert

SC2 crashes after 1.08 patch
Hubert Cater replied to gcgreen's topic in Strategic Command Tech Support Forum
gcgreen, Couple of things I would try such as running the game in the 16 bit video mode option. This can be accessed via the SETTINGS dialog in game, i.e. it looks like you are running the game at 1680x1050x32, try running it at 1680x1050x16. Also try updating your video card driver and installing the latest version of DirectX to see if that helps. I would also check to make sure you have enough video ram required to meet the minimum specs. Hubert -
SC2 crashes after 1.08 patch

Can you tell me what the error message is? -
WaW Error: DIRECTX FAILED
Hubert Cater replied to H.J. von Arnim's topic in Strategic Command Tech Support Forum
Baron, I would suggest updating your Video Card drivers and see if that helps as some Video Cards still act a bit funny under Vista. Hubert -
Editing Scripts in Modified Campaigns
Hubert Cater replied to MajorRH's topic in Strategic Command 2 Scenario and Mods Forum
Ok I found two workarounds... one is to disable Vista's User Access Control and then it should save the files as expected. The other is that if you do not wish to disable UAC you can try and install the game into any other directory other than the Program Files directory. For example, C:\Games\Weapons and Warfare etc. If you do this it doesn't seem to redirect the files with UAC enabled. Hope this helps, Hubert -

RobertC, Brillian mod... very nice work Can you send me an email at info@furysoftware.com? Thanks, Hubert -
WaW Error: DIRECTX FAILED
Hubert Cater replied to H.J. von Arnim's topic in Strategic Command Tech Support Forum
H.J. von Arnim, This is a common error if the SC2 application loses primary control of the Video Card... this can happen if let's say a screensaver kicks in or if another application steals control. Is any of this a possibility? Hubert -
BUG.........in WaW
Hubert Cater replied to mock's topic in Strategic Command 2 Blitzkrieg and Weapons and Warfare
I'll change this so that if the Axis DoW on Norway then this event will not trigger. -
WaW freeze up
Hubert Cater replied to sargeweaver's topic in Strategic Command 2 Blitzkrieg and Weapons and Warfare
sargeweaver, can you try updating your video card driver and installing the latest version of directX to see if that helps? Hubert -

Hubert Cater replied to MajorRH's topic in Strategic Command 2 Scenario and Mods Forum
MajorRH, I think if you run as an Administrator this is not an issue... can you confirm?
