Ok, I found a bug, or mabye it's just my system, but if you chage anything in the options, like the fog of war, the game won't work, I chaged it, and when ever I tried to start a toturial or battle it crashed, but when I chaged it back to default it worked

Could you send to histwar@histwar.com the spyboard.txt file (in folder tracking)

Maybe a problem for the option within a English file...
First step : Don't modify the options

Iam having exactly the same problem. I send the spyBoard file by mail.

[D3m0]

I have no problems with option changes.

[Seydlitz]

Strange thing is that it now isnt working after all. I could play the beginner tutorial but now every time I want to start a Tutorial or a battle Iam having CTD on loading screen, without changing anything in the options..

The game got frozen twice when I hit the map edges.I had to restart the comp after waiting a few minutes.

This solved my problem with *Client stopped working':

1. Find the file initdiag.txt under HistWar\Langage\1 (0 = French and 1 = English)
2. Change the resolution in line 6 (Width) and 7 (High) to your actual screen resolution.

I use TripleHead2Go, so I had to change this to 3840 and 1024.

Can't run the game in any resolution higher than 1440x900 despite the handy tips from MHLarsen. I've changed both initidiags to 1920x1080 but no joy...

I get to the options screen ok, and then select a scenario, it seems to fail when loading the next splash screen. I can tell when it's going to work because the arrow cursor changes to the square one andd I get the splash screen up.

I do have 2 displays one with a maximum resolution of 1440x900 so I might disable the 2nd and see what happens.

Spyboard.txt sent to histwar@histwar.com

*Update* No joy, still won't work at any resolution above 1440x900 with only one monitor

This seems to work for me. Thx. No I was too fast. Still CTD and I need to change options everytime.

[mhlarsen]

To summarise:

I use Win 7, so I have changed the compatibility of the file LGDN.exe under HistWar to always run as Administrator for all users.

I also had this happen twice. (XP, Nvidia card)
There is also a graphic (looks like a seam of wheat field) which builds when you get close to the map edges which is a fps killer.
