Yeah there's something going on with the server. It's not updating my changes when I overwrite them. I'll try renaming it and re-uploading it.

Ok stuck a V12 on the end of the file name. Try the download link again, I think that did it. For some reason the server doesn't like it when you overwrite files.. I'll have to mention this to Norb.

Now it works. One more question...is it possible for Anderson to not show up? I my first game he showed at the 30 min. mark but just him...no troops. Just checking to see if this is WAD.

Good catch. You got the variant where Anderson shows up 30 minutes late. But the bug was; it was just him that shows up.. No division.. :laugh:

This is what happens when you don't have beta testers testing your work.. You have to rely on the community to catch bugs. Thanks! I've updated the download link to 1.3.

It still says 1.2 in the intro (duh) but the download link is V13. That will fix the Anderson not showing up bug.

You can just overwrite. It only changes one file in the first scenario.

crash during game setup... after chain in command or some such

Post by Colonel Dreux »

Downloaded the mod. Got in the mod folder as required. While booting up, the game crashes to desktop at about the point it says "after chain in command" or some such. I saw someone else post this elsewhere. Can't find what the answer to the problem was though. Any help will be appreciated.

The Culp/Cemetery Hill scenarios work just fine though. Good stuff. Harry Hays obliterated the Yankees on my July 2 replay. Smashed a nice big hole in the line.

Any problems reported elsewhere were addressed and fixed. But you could have found a different problem. Does this happen when you try to start the first scenario? Can you post the contents of your sowgb.log file after the crash? That log file is in Work.

I'm hoping this was just an bad install or something and it works now. I haven't heard any other bugs reported in a while and the series runs great for me, with no errors in the log.

Please report back if it works for you now.
