    Valve "version" of Iron Warriors

    in T-72: Balkans on Fire! Technical Support Forum

    Posted

    Hi again,

    Just for clarification, this is the response I received from Valve:

    Hello Craig,

    Unfortunately, the manual included with Iron Warriors is a scanned version of the retail manual which has some information that does not pertain to the Steam version of the game. This is the reason why some of the config files you mentioned cannot be accessed through Steam.

    Please contact Strategy First for information on how you can enable these features: http://www.strategyfirst.com/en/support/

    Steam Support cannot provide technical support for third-party titles such as Iron Warriors.

    If you have any other questions, please let us know.

    And here's Strategy First's response:

    Hello,

    I'm glad to hear you never give up on these things, that's good. You can

    now calm down because no one has been a victim of fraud or misguided in any

    way. As a matter of fact your issue is the first and only one I've seen

    like this, which is probably why you are yet to find a solution to this

    problem. Perhaps it has something to do with your PC:

    Send me your dxdiag export with your next email:

    - Go to Start - Run and type in the following: dxdiag. Hit Enter.

    - Run all the tests in the sound, display and music tabs.

    - Click on 'Save All Information', and save the file to your desktop.

    - Attach the file created to your next email.

    Anybody else getting anywhere with this issue?

    Valve "version" of Iron Warriors

    in T-72: Balkans on Fire! Technical Support Forum

    There's been a thread recently about missing or inactive configuration and mission edit files in Iron Warriors purchased through Valve's Steam. In my own posts there, I outlined my efforts to get a response from Battlefront, Strategy first, Valve,etc.

    Finally, Strategy First responded by saying it was an issue with Valve/Steam downloads.

    Okay...! So I contacted Valve's support. They responded today with the admission that the "version" of Iron Warriors they offer for D/L does not have access to those files!

    In other words...its different!

    So,I contacted Strategy First to find out about this different "version", why weren't we informed, etc,etc. He,(Mike), huffed a bit and replied that it was the first time he had heard about this problem, that I was the only one, my PC might be at fault, yadda...yadda!

    I replied by asking him simply: are there two versions of this sim; the full featured boxed retail one, and a crippled one for Steam D/L?

    Stay tuned,

    Please Help, T-72 config does not show up

    Hello...?

    Anyone out there?

    It seems that my optimism on my Sept.12th post was...well...too optimistic !

    Will we get an answer to this issue of missing or inoperable cfg files?

    Nothing from Steam...StrategyFirst or Battlefront.

    No replies since the first emails and postings acknowledging the problem with Steam downloads.

    C'mon! Someone step up and tell us what's being done.

    We've been patient enough. It seems that this community is being stonewalled.

    All the well meaning advice thats been posted on this forum by Madmatt et al, although much appreciated, is getting us nowhere!

    Okay...I feel better now ! ;)

    Cheers,

    Please Help, T-72 config does not show up

    That's a ditto Madmatt. I saved your .bat to my Iron Warriors folder and tried to run it...got the same message as Oiink. Same message I've been getting whenever I try and activate those files.

    But there's hope...I received an email response from Strategyfirst tech support acknowledging the problem with Steam downloads and that they were looking into the issue. Nice to know that they care and are trying to help,just like you guys!

    I think that we'll be sorting this out soon.

    Thanks again everyone.
