Nouvelle année

My HW screen says -  version 5.564.

The delayed orders system works well, I do like that feature.

I most often use the march to area order, then the second order with a delay of 10 minutes.  I don't often use more than two orders like this, but it can be done if required.  If the situation changes while these orders are under way you can give a new "immediate" order which will over ride the first two orders - after the order delay (if being used).

I have the same version. I think it's with the last patch (05fRC3).
Very strange. Maybe I should reinstall the game and look how it works.

My HW screen says -  version 5.564.

I got mine in one single download after not having a computer for five years that was able to run HW.
JMM game me the link,  I installed it about June or July 2020 in one single download, no patch added.

Tried to reinstall HWN version 5 (no patch) on my new laptop with W10 but the game did not launch.
It was previously on a laptop with XP.

I have a w10 laptop as well, all working correctly, hopefully JMM will be able to help you out when he reads this.

Tried to reinstall HWN version 5 (no patch) on my new laptop with W10 but the game did not launch.
It was previously on a laptop with XP.

The problem is probably DirectX sound which does not work on some configurations.
I have developed a new sound library from XAudio2... wait for the next version.
Sorry for this but I can't do more.

Thanks JMM and Gunner for the reply.
I will try however to reinstall on my old laptop on XP to see whether the bugs are still there.

Yes, this problem has persisted for two years or more for those of us (like me) who only have a computer with Windows 10. It is absolutely unplayable. I have spent so much time trying to make it work to no avail. So, my advice, if you actually want to play this game, don't ever load it on a Windows 10 machine...especially since we have waited YEARS for a "new version" that will supposedly fix this problem.

Honestly, I think it should be obvious that making this game playable for people who have paid a good deal of money for both versions (HWLG and HWN) like me should override any other concern. Tweaking artillery, cavalry, line-of-sight, divisional/brigade AI, etc. is absolutely meaningless to those of us who own Win 10 machines....which is quickly becoming the whole PC world. To me, it's just blindingly obvious good market strategy. Why do we care whether our soldiers are behaving perfectly if we can't even play it?

If the problems as to why the game doesn't work for those of us with Win 10 are known, why can't fixing this become first priority right now? I've waited for over two years for this fix....still waiting....still waiting....still waiting....then I remind myself:  Oh, yeah. This is HistWar Napoleon--where we're asked to dwell in a never-ending purgatory with no hope of every playing again. And then I calm down and load up another Napoleonic game.

Hello all,

It runs fine on my PC with Windows 10; I adjusted the Compatibility of the exe file with Windows 7; unsure if I made something with the DirectX.

Thanks for the advice. I will try.

Glad that has worked for you, JeanM. But every attempt (literally, dozens) to run it in Win7 or Win8 compatibility mode does not work for me. Yes, the sound is wrong. But I also can't expand the screen to full size. The launcher usually crashes. When the game does manage to load, it crashes to desk top within a few seconds. But 95% of the time, the launcher just crashes before I can initiate the battle game, or any of the editors.

Saludos,

 HistWar con W10 me funciona el juego pero es muy inestable.   Estoy a punto de rendirme después de muchos años esperando un final feliz para poder disfrutar de este Wargame

Bonjour à tous,

Vous allez me dire "qu'est-ce qu'il vient faire là, lui ? Qui c'est ?" ben... 1 vieux 

J'ai continué à suivre l'évolution de ce jeu de loin (voire de très loin). Je ressitue => ça doit faire 10 ans que j'ai rien posté sur le forum.
Je suis très sincèrement heureux que le projet ait abouti et continue de se développer. J'ai acheté la 1ère version, j'y ai joué mais je ne joue plus ni sur PC, ni sur écran maintenant (boulot, autres occupations, famille, etc...)

Je souhaite 10 fois (ben oui, j'ai du retard  ) une excellente année @JMM, à la grande famille Histwar et à l'autre aussi.

@+ (si, si, je reviendrais...)

Merci...
1537 posts ont précédé celui là... et surement d'autres à venir... Grognard pour toujours 

Toujours derrière mon clavier.. je dois dire que parfois, je fatigue un peu.
HistWar est vraiment une histoire de livre des records... doit bien y avoir 27 ans que j'ai commencé 

A part cela, ça avance lentement, voire trop lentement à mon gout...
Ca marche trop bien, mais encore des petits trucs que je ne souhaite plus laisser derrière.

@ bientôt pour la suite

JMM
