  1. I frequently get the following error message which is followed by a crash to dektop. It occurs at random, i have seen no particular pattern, and I will be always be able to move past the point it occurs when i try again from the saved game. If I play for a couple of hours at a time I can be fairly sure that it will occur at least once.

    "Failed (draw_unit_text_to_buffer_dc) : Sementation violation"

    The above message is the most common, on one or two occassions the following has appeared:

    "DirectX Failed (draw_sprite_on_map_surface) : dderr_invalidrect"

  2. I have just completed a scan of my computer using malwarebytes and it found "Adware.NetPumper" in the following files:

    Battlefront\StrategicCommand 2 Blitzkrieg\Misc\Battlefront.com.exe

    Battlefront\StrategicCommand 2 Patton Drives East Expansion\Misc\Battlefront.com.exe

    Battlefront\StrategicCommand 2 Weapons and Warfare Expansion\Misc\Battlefront.com.exe

    Battlefront\StrategicCommand WW11 Pacific Theatre\Misc\Battlefront.com.exe

    This is the first time this has come up and I have had the programs installed for a long time and done many scans, all of which have always come up clean.

    Is it ok to remove this? or does it affect the running of the games?

    Thank you

  3. Thank you for the reply. It was strange that they just all of a sudden stopped running without the video acceleration option, but they are working now so it's all good. I would also like to say that your Strategic command series of games are easily the best available in this genre - keep up the good work!

  4. Ok, so I've been playing about a bit, and if I put on the video accelerator then Patton Drives East will open, and while open if I uncheck the video accelerator then I get the black screen again so I guess it obviously has something to do with that. Stupid question - what exactly is the video accelerator and what impact, if any, does it have when playing the game?

  5. When I attempt to open SC2, Weapons and Warfare, Patton Drives East or Pacific Theatre I am able to select the campaign, select which side to play and confirm all the various options, however when I click to start the game proper it starts to open but after a few seconds just goes to a black screen. I have no such problems with WW1 or Global Campaign which open up fine. I have been able to play all 4 of these games on this same machine without any difficulties up to now.

    Any suggestions would be greatly appreciated. Thank you.

  6. I am fairly new to SC2 and so would appreciate some help.

    When playing as the Axis against the AI what is considered the best use of your resources early in the game ie what techs are the best to research, is it worth using mpps in diplomacy, if so then where, or should you just try and max your units in preparation for the fight with Russia?

    Thanks for any insight you can give me.
