Berto,

Thanks for the work around. It gives you the Experience Points, but no Medals.

I am looking forward to the fixed EXE.

Here is a quick & easy, kludgey fix for the campaign crash bug if your campaign is crashing at the conclusion of the very first campaign scenario:

In your game folder, rename any Victory#.bmp files, as in

Victory0.bmp -> Victory0 DONTUSE.bmp

Do we do anything with the Victory#.ogg files?

No, do nothing. The code to process the .ogg files is the source of the trouble, but the .ogg data files themselves, they are not at fault. So just leave them be.

Thanks for the work around. It gives you the Experience Points, but no Medals.

But that is not crippling, right? You can still proceed?

From the Manual:

quote:

Medals received due to the performance of your organization are displayed in the "Decorations" box. The number and type of medals won have no effect on overall victory in the campaign game and are for aesthetic purposes only.

Nice, shiny chrome. But still just chrome.

So am I.

Berto,

I will assume I can continue. Saw the info about the changes, made the changes and tried the one I had sent you. Then went to bed. Will try to continue sometime later this week.

Berto,

Tried it this evening when I got home. I got standard level reinforcements and started the next battle.

Thanks for the hardwork.

Where do I find the victory files?

also when I do find the file does the change include the same space that you have here between Victory0 and DONTUSE.bmp as you have here: Victory0 DONTUSE.bmp

What does this quick fix change? Do we no longer receive victory medals?

Still have the crash after the first Campaign game ends. Even after removing and reinstalling the game and updating it. Will try the workaround tomorrow :-)

An update with a fix for the campaign crush bug will be released Real Soon Now. But yes, in the meantime, try the workaround.
