Status: offline 		I am Matt's PBEM opponent for the game he is talking about. We had Windows Messanger working both times he saw this bug and he told me as soon as he saw the bug he mentioned. I have my save files for the game in question, but I dont know if they would be any help.

Status: offline 		I don't know if this messenger program you use is voice or text but, if you are looking for a good voice chat program, try www.gamevoice.com . It is free and has very clear chat. It is peer to peer so it doesn't rely on any server anywhere.

A question I have: Does this switching of sides occur when playing as both American and Japanese or just as Japanese?

Also, I was not trying to imply that Windows Messanger was a possible cause of the problem. I was just pointing out that Matt immediately reported the problem as soon as he saw it thru Windows Messanger, and that I could verify Matt told me the same thing as he reported here.

were you clicking on any bases in the western part of the map?
i.e newguinea? specfically lae in last nights game I clicked on the lae base I'm pretty leery of doing that alot these days...any way
the airbase refused to give me a specific squadron and when I tried the button "proceed to next group" it refused to do so
the only way I could access the the fighter group was to do so
using the "show all land base fighters" icon at the top of the map
I'm definetly having all of my problems at this end of the map
kinda of a drag reallyas I have alot going on at this base.

Status: offline 		Matt,

Received the saves from you, but it would also be helpful if you could send a description of exactly how to duplicate the problem on your computer. Please send that to [email]erikr@matrixgames.com[/email], [email]rossm@matrixgames.com[/email] and [email]jabgamer@2by3games.com[/email]. I think I've got it from your posts, but it's best to be certain before testing and either sending it on to the developers or not.

FYI, to my knowledge we have not tested with the 40.41 drivers yet. I'm running 30.82 without any problems.

Regards,

- Erik
