Paulverisor64 Posted March 9, 2010 Share Posted March 9, 2010 I haven't had time to really play this game yet but I am discouraged that the 1st thing that I've tried doesn't appear to work. I have tried setting up a game from the Mission Generator and in all cases it has generated a game. I get a brief Please Wait message which returns me to the Mission Generator screen but nothing happens. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
phil stanbridge Posted March 9, 2010 Share Posted March 9, 2010 seems to be a few teething bugs! I'm sure they will all be sorted in due course. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Paulverisor64 Posted March 9, 2010 Author Share Posted March 9, 2010 seems to be a few teething bugs! I'm sure they will all be sorted in due course. I absolutely have been optimistic about this game, but to not be able to get into a game at all has to be regarded serious. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
JohnO Posted March 9, 2010 Share Posted March 9, 2010 Strange, I just tried to make a scenario using the Mission Generator and it worked for me with no problem. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Sneaksie Posted March 9, 2010 Share Posted March 9, 2010 Paulverisor64 Pay attention: there are two buttons in generator - one creates scenario, saves and then launches it, while another just creates and saves it for future use. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
WHLNH Posted March 9, 2010 Share Posted March 9, 2010 I'll have to go back and try again, but twice I did put in the selection criteria for a "generated' battle (picked sides, left all other random) and then selected "launch". Got a message, don't recall what but I don't think it was "saving", but nothing more happened. Just before leaving for work I did start a tutorial, so that worked for a little while until I quit, but no luck with the generator. Bill Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Sneaksie Posted March 9, 2010 Share Posted March 9, 2010 Hmm, when you save a game, for exmaple, is it being saved actually? This may be another write access problem. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Knokke Posted March 9, 2010 Share Posted March 9, 2010 Dont forget to launch the game with full administrator rights, or the mission generator is probably not going to work. It is working for me, so it should for other peoples as well Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

It is working for me, so it should for other peoples as well Thank you, Administrator Rights was exactly the issue I was running into. I wouldn't be surprised if there weren't other issues in regards to Administrator Rights. This clears up my being able to play tonight. Thanks again Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Rosseau Posted March 10, 2010 Share Posted March 10, 2010 That's why I ordered my new computer last year with XP! Glad the mission generator thing got cleared up. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
ShiftZ Posted March 10, 2010 Share Posted March 10, 2010 That's why I ordered my new computer last year with XP! Glad the mission generator thing got cleared up. Unfortunately XP will only use around (see no more than) 3 gigs of ram maximum. If your computer has six gigs or more the OS will not see it and it will never be used. This is one of the benefits of Vista and now 7. If a computer has eight gigs of ram packed in, the new operating systems now recognize that its present and can use all of it. I'll live with having to apply admin rights for the ability to use the extra ram. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Sfox28 Posted March 10, 2010 Share Posted March 10, 2010 I was having the same problem with the MG. I did Admin rights the first time I went into the game...but it looks like I will have to do Admin run every time I go into the game because the MG works now.

DeutschRitter Posted March 10, 2010 Share Posted March 10, 2010 When I choose random, how can I see if I play an assault, defend, etc... mission after the mission was generated. There is no briefing where i can see it Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Knokke Posted March 10, 2010 Share Posted March 10, 2010 Usually, you can guess from the choice of troops selection you're allowed to make: if you have a lot of points and are able to select several tanks, you'll most probably be the attacker. If you can select only a few infantry squads and lots of guns, chances are high that you'll have to defend. It would have been nice to have some feedback of what the mission type will be , though Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

However, I do believe Vista 32 bit is limited to 4 gig. Bill Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
