It would be nice if they would fix it. You would think after all these years they would have a fix for it. Matthew

I have enjoyed the TOW series since the start. However, it seems as you say they appear to be working on the next one then helping with the bugs for the current game. It would be great for the development team to work on the code. I have a laptop also and have played all the total war on this laptop and it runs smoothly. The TOW3 can lag and hang up. I can even play supreme commander 2 on the laptop without a hitch. I also think for expansion for them to include operation killer, the punch bowl, and lets not forget the frozen chosin. Even the "outpost war" would be an interesting expansion. I have read the "bug" report. As I am not a programmer I am unsure of how hard it would be to fix some if not all the problems. As one person put it the game would be a "classic game" without most of the bugs. Matthew p.s. have been playing computer games since the 1990's Sudden strike, command and conquer (the original) and dawn of war are all great and classic games. I believe the TOW series can be better then all of them combined.

The game will be running great, then BOOOMMMMMM!!!!!!! I am looking at my desktop. What the hell?

Hey just got the game disk today the Korean war was between North and South Korea with the United nations coming in on the side of the south. The Vietnamese were not involved as you say in your manual (pg 3). They were busy fighting the French until 1955 and that is when we sent in advisors to South Vietnam. Also, I see that you have the Russians involved for setting up battles. It was the Chinese. The game is great I am enjoying it. I would think a company like yours would know who fought who. Especially with all the money you have invested in creating the game.

I did all that i was told. tried everything under the sun from the knowledge and help desk and other suggestions. Looks like this was a $55.00 mistake. I order the disk version also. This is aggravating. Hopefully, when i get the disk version at the house it will work. If not i guess their is always ebay to try and sell it. If I can't get the disk version to work I will never buy a 1c or battlefront game again. The games that i have purchased are TOW 1 and TOW 2 and the men of war series. The combat series, I guess I won't be getting Normandy. disappointed, Matthew

I have taken out Verizon security. Took out the game and the trial and the hot fix. reinstalled everything. (not the demo) What i get now is after installing the menu comes up for play/ install/ uninstall /read me and exit. I press read me comes right up not a problem. I press play and nothing the screen disappears it show s up in my task manger as Korea 32 but nothing else. The hard drive kicks in and stays on (light "flashing") then nothing. At least I get the play screen after install now. I have a dell studio 1545. dual core 2.0 (x2), 4 gigs of ram, radeon 3450 256 video card. The demo played well on the machine. It has windows vista 64. Also I have played TOW2 africa corp on this same laptop with out problems. I have removed my security software. BTW the Verizon security kept picking up a "trojan" when i would try to install the first time. I download directly from your site. Any help would be appreciated. I ordered your game for mail delivery also will i be able to play it once i have the disk? Matthew (aka pain in the AZZ)

tried that thanks... matthew

it didn't work. :mad:

I took out Mcaffe, which then in-turn let me see the screen that says play, I pressed the button then nothing. I then restarted the comp. and it said that the lic was corrupted and needed to be recovered. I then tried the manual authorization and it said the request code was wrong. In 54 minutes i will try the whole thing again with a complete new download. Hopefully it will work. Your friendly pain in the butt..... Matthew:(

this is what i get now arrggggggggggg.............:mad:

Can you still find the 'Korea.exe' executable file for the licensed game ? The default location for 32-bit versions of Windows should be: '\Program Files\Battlefront\1C Company\Theatre of War 3. Korea\Korea.exe' I also reinstalled the demo and bout my lic into that and now it asks for a activation code. when i went to do manual activation it said the code was invalid. The code was the one generated by the demo. thnks in advance Matthew:confused:

I reinstalled the demo and I input my license and now is asking for a activation key. I will try what you are asking and also go through my programs to see if any freeware security like IObot is still on the machine. Thanks again. Matthew

I removed the security software which is mcafee. Still didn't work. :confused: I tried the hotfix nothing. Once it was installed I never get anything after that. Once i click on finish it does nothing. I went through the knowledge base. Could it be dx 11? I have played tow and tow2 on this laptop. So I am at a loss as to why this isn't working. I have no complaints about the help from customer service. Again thanks in advance for any help. Matthew
