Yep!

Yep!

Hmm...I can't see that being a deliberate design decision.

Wow! 10,000 views for this thread. Bodes well for the success of the game.

As far as I'm concerned I've never played a demo of any other game so much!

Am receiving a Windows (Vista) report to effect that there is a problem and that Windows will search & report.  This just hangs comp.
I have unin/reinstalled several times with same result.

Load takes about 3 minutes then menus appears.   Then select solo etc.

Programme worked fine until about three days ago.

Any ideas please.

Have you installed the game in another hard drive?

Finally fired up the demo and initially had heaps of issues but rapidly sorted things out and discovered "most" (ie not all) were actually me not udnerstanding the UI and mechanics. Have been really enjoying the demo since I have things worked out (well, at least at the most basic level) and have pre-ordered (number 175). The game will almost certainly have bugs but I have confidence that JMM will work hard to rub them all out and in all honesty I am happy to hand my cash to an independent game developer with a passion for creating a historically accurate war game. Even if this game is a bit rough on release make no mistakes, this is a diamond.

Thank you for prompt reply.   I have not installed in another drive.

[bibouba]

In vista I run it as administrator.

[ess1]

Thanks for assistance.   Have tried that, also XP admin.   Strange that it functioned before.

[ess1]

Anyone help please?   This is so frustrating as I am not in U.K. where my desktop is.
Why application suddenly started to misbehave is beyond me, as is all things computing

Ok, let's see.  The game works for a while, then Vista reports an error, the game stops working, and reinstalling the game doesn't make it work.

If everything else was the same (using admin accounts, etc) and a reinstall didn't fix it, then we need to look outside the box a bit.

Uninstall and make sure all the files and folders for the game are deleted except for the original game package you downloaded that will be used for an install.

Install the game to a different folder than "Program Files", such as C:/Games.

If it still doesn't work, have you installed any new programs or run any updates, especially Windows updates or driver updates?  This shouldn't mess anything up, but you never know.  Is it possible that Windows did an automatic update?

If you're getting to the menu where you can select Solo, then the program is starting.  When you join the battle, you are on the 3D map.  What happens when you try to join the battle?  Does the 3D map appear, or does Windows complain?

We'll go from there when we find out.

Hook,   Thank you for taking the time and trouble for your prompt reply.
I will carry through your suggestion: reinstall to a different folder.   I have installed one programme - Poker Stars.   As far as I know  there haven't been any updates.

As stated, I am not with my desktop, this being my wife's laptop.   She knows much less than me

[Hook]

I just want to make sure:  the game has worked on this laptop before, right?

Question:  have you tried to change the screen resolution?

[ess1]

Programme was working until Saturday.   Have not tried to change resolution.

Just completed unin/reinstall to another folder.   Same result:

"Client has stopped working.
a problem caused the program to stop working correctly.  Windows will the program and notify you if a solution is available".

Progr. just hangs now and I "Close Program"

Wife  has gone to china shopping so I am off to beach for a walk.   Perhaps I can see a cat to kick

ess1 - I had a similar problem, I uninstalled then rebooted before re-installation (on my Windows Vista machine)
