Must be MM-dd-yyyy (or any variation thereof). DD-MM-yyyy or yyyy-MM-dd (or variations)won't take.
Probably some obscure oddity with my system somewhere.

I can live with it.

What regional settings is your system set to, so that we can try to duplicate? Do you still experience a crash with the hotfix?

Regards,

- Erik

Now fixed following your question, thank you.
I have always had it set to English (United States) with the day before month. Have now set it to English (Australian) with day before month and there is no longer an issue.
PC Kharkov & PC Ostfront are, afaik, the only games troubled by the settings.

Thanks again, from another devoted Matrix Games fan!

So do you mean that the hotfix did work for you even with the Australian regional settings?

Regards,

As mentioned above, the hotfix did not work for my original configuration, i.e. English (United States). Whether or not the change to English (Australian) worked because the hotfix was applied first, I cannot now say, sorry.
I could check it out if you really want but that would involve a reinstall surely, as I did not back up the files replaced by the hotfix?

Yes its true if you have problems running Panzer Command try changing your date format from DD/MM/YYY to MM/DD/YYY

That worked for me on my Win 8.1 system and I have absolutely no idea why the date settings would have an influence on launching the game.
