Status: offline 		Hi guys. I'm hoping someone has seen this or had it happen to them so that I can get an explanation. I am using version 7.1 and MCNA is the only mega campaign I currently have loaded. I was playing the Antelat scenario in MCNA. At the start of the scenario my campaign score was 19 points. I finfished the scenario and achieved a moderate victory. However, the scoring screen said 0 points for the moderate victory and it actually deducted 1 point andd now I only have 18 points for my campaign score. Can anyone tell me what is going on?:confused: I win a scenario and get points taken away:mad: What did I do to make Rommel so mad?:( Seriously, if anyone knows what happened please let me know.

Thanks,

Philbo

The bad news is that once the game routine gets on the incorrect scoring trick, I think it is written into the .dat file and may well continue deducting one or more points for every "victory" - maybe if you lose badly it will add five or six plus points !

The good news: Uninstall everything in the Matrix Games folder, via Windows "Add-=Remove Programs". Scrub the registry to make sure all references to Matrix and WAW have been removed. Compact the reg with Scandisk /fix or shareware equivalent. Defrag the HD.

Reinstall the MC's and patches. Restart the MC. When I do this, the scoring seems to be OK. In fact, LV is currently adding SIX points for a DV, up from the old five points, so at long last I seem to be doing something right.

All kidding aside, the sad truth seems to be that once the game decides to score a battle incorrectly in a campaign, it will continue to do so. About your only option is restarting - or (seriously) the above, which is a good idea to do periodically anyway. This happens not just with MC - used to happen pretty regularly with the other campaigns.
