Hello,

I have encountered a couple of bugs, and when I tried to report them through the in-game report functionality, I couldn't.

Game crashes when trying to use an AA unit to defend against Ground Strike: I have found this one in the Barbarossa scenario and the Global War one; the game allows me to select the unit correctly, takes me to the form, but when it is going to roll the dice then it crashes and I get a message saying that there is no email address for that action. This happens playing solitaire and hotseat. I tried to not use the unit to defend, still the game crashed with the same message, only workaround I have found so far is to not have an AA unit adjacent to any hex I am going to use Ground Strike or Ground Support against (sort of defeats the point of the unit, but at least I can go on playing).

Game crashes on overrunning air units previously disorganized: I have encountered this in the Barbarossa scenario; I attack a stack, destroy the defend land units, get the movement after combat option, and when moving over the disorganized fighter on the hex, the video of the tanks overrunning gets stuck and crashes the game.

Land unit disappearing on Land Attack: I have encountered this only once, during the Global War scenario; as Germany, attacking a stack of Polish units, select several stacks of units to attack, all went well until for some reason, on the fourth stack I chose, only one of the units was picked, the other two remained in the hex, untouched. When moving this unit over the stack to be attacked, I only got a big "X" (unit was adjacent, obviously, and not disorganized). I tried to put the unit back on its stack, but couldn't, pressed "Esc" to try and go back, the unit disappeared and the turn went on as if nothing had happened, except that this unit was now totally gone, vanished.

Several crashes on Ground Strikes: for some reason I encounter regular crashes with the Ground Strike videos, they seem to start running, get stuck and crash the game, this has happened both in the global war and barbarossa scenario, for no apparent reason. Closing the game and reloading from a previous save usually fixes it (but sometimes forces to replay parts of the turn, even previous ground strikes).


Just in case it is relevant, my PC is an Alienware X51, i5-2320 @ 3.00GHz, 8 Gigas of Ram and a GTX555. I run the game on Windows 7, Two screens, one for the main map, another one for the world map and other forms (main screen is on 1920*1020 resolution, secondary one is on 1280*1024)

Question: a couple of these errors seem to happen only with those videos, which, to be honest, I do not need or particularly like, is it possible to disable them completely?

Thanks for any support you can provide.

Ah, there it is, thanks, I missed that Interface option. I will see if that fixes those crashes, thank you very much for your help, AxelNL.


Edit: just loaded a couple of the save games I had previous to some of those crashes (i.e.: the fighter unit being overrun after land attack in Barbarossa), not playing the video meant that I got instantly a message saying that the fighter was destroyed, game went on perfectly; so yeah, disabling the videos certainly helped on that one, I am guessing that will also help on the Ground Strike ones.

I think these are still relevant for someone who might want to play having the videos active, and also regarding the other bugs not related to videos, but thanks indeed AxelNL for helping me fix that :)

I tried to configure Netplay, to see if it had something to do with my email address not being registered by the game, and now I am also getting this message:
"Error=21. Game url non-existent (wrong game url)."

The registration and email are valid though, can log in to slitherin's page no problem, and the serial seems to be correctly registered as well. I guess it is not related, but still, just in case.

Hi SPerdomo

I have just tried to play Barbarossa with a mate. Vi too experienced the crash after applying AA fire in Barbarossa.

- Ground strike hex was on Lvov, where i had 2 USSR INF Units. I had a 3-2 AA unit in the forest SE of Lvov.

- I couldnt select the target hex for the AA-fire, but Lvov was the only one possible to receive def AA-fire, so i just spend all 4 on it. After allocating the game said waiting on my screen with nothing happening at on my mates..

- We both had the historical videos turned of.
