Patch 03n (a) for HistWar : Les Grognards

[DougieJ]

Hello G24,

No problem running LG until this latest patch so directx9 should not be a problem, JMM suggests installing dircetx9 again, i will do that if i can find out how or reinstall LG from scratch if my game key is made available.

Cheers DJ

Hello G24,

My directX is fully up to date and i have installed the directx software from windows that allows you to also run earlier versions, in this case x9.
It has not helped so i will install LG from scratch if JMM can provide my game key.

Wasnt it a whole key-file in the case of "HW: Les Grognards"?

[Gunner24]

Hello Dougie, the "key" is not really a file as such, it is a very long line of letters and numbers that you copy and paste into the box at the install stage.  I assume you never kept a copy of it anywhere ?.

Hello,

Sorry if I didn't post a message here...
Just I sent a MP to DoujieJ in order to give the SN.. (this SN is saved on the account in the store...)
I am waiting for some good news when HW:LW will be installed again... Otherwise, I'll be a bit surprise because I didn't received any reports like that on this version...

JMM

PS : To beta test team... don't worry... soon a set of new tests for you :-)

.. (this SN is saved on the account in the store...)

I got only the HW:N-key into the account, but not the HW:LG-key.
So I wonder if the LG-key should also be there.

Right for the first buyers; the SN isn't in the account but we sent an email with the SN and the address to download the game 
Really now, I can't spend a lot of time to transfer the SN to the account... but you can send me an email if you lost it :-)

No need to worry about that. I was just wondering, cos in my case the info wasnt conform with the facts.

For now I got both versions installed and running. Furthermore I am pretty sure that I got the key on one of my HDs and/or in my email archives. I didnt mean to cause any hecticness amidst all the upcoming holy tasks.

Hello gents,

Just to clear things up, a re-install of both HWLG and this latest patch has fixed my crashing issue and all is now running fine, thanks to JMM for his support.

Lancier posted this in the announcements board about this patch:
"I installed 03n but in solo using maps or oobs prepared by previous versions either give error after start or quit to the main menu when hit F3 ... is that normal ? I tried a scenario by the mods waterloo it gave the same result when F3,return to main menu."

I can partially confirm this also happens to me then I try to play the mods for Waterloo and the Peninsula war. The game loads fine, but as soon as I hit F3 it drops me back to the main menu and I can still hear the unit bands playing.  The only difference is Ive had no trouble opening the modded OOB's.

Hello
to developing team:

I confirm what Lancier posted and Forrest posted here:

by default any scenario opens to F4 map .

"I installed 03n but in solo using maps or oobs prepared by previous versions either give error after start or quit to the main menu when hit F3 ... is that normal ? I tried a scenario by the mods waterloo it gave the same result when F3,return to main menu."

and I add that all Peninsular War scenarios + Waterloo  as well as all other scenarios .

when F3 is hit or middle mouse button is scrolled down to zoom to F3 map I return to main menu  (version 2.n0)
Vista platform , dir x update  'not required for my system' is what Win update reports when I choose to run :

Windows6.0-KB971512-x86.msu (update for Windows Vista KB971512)

However by installing DirectX End-User Runtime Web Installer  all HistWar scenarios are playable
except for 3rd party scenario's like Peninsular War scenarios Waterloo . F3 or middle mouse button will kick me back to
main menu

Cheers
