Status: offline 		Attached is a zipped up Beta Hotfix file version 1.08.04 that should fix several possible crash bugs that appeared in 1.08.03. You will need to unzip the file into your main exe directory where it will replace your old 1.08.03 exe file (the default directory is /Matrix Games/Gary Grigsby's War in the East). This fixes the following items:

1. Fixed a bug where the game could crash due to memory corruption when trying to launch automated supply drops for partisan units from non-VVS airbases, even when no air groups were eligible to participate.
2. Fixed a bug where the game could crash when loading certain saved games.
3. Fixed a bug where ghost units were created in slot 8191 during a failed attempt to convert Rifle or Mountain divisions to Guards, because of reaching the percentage limit.

The file attached in this post is the English language version. The German version will follow in the next post.

Status: offline 		No, this is just a hotfix for these three serious issues, of which one was causing a crash and another prevented a game from loading.

The real .04 that has 12+ pages of changelog is now renamed .05, and we still work on it. I wanted to finish working on it without any pressure, so it won't be rushed, and those three bugs were generating serious pressure, hence interim hotfix.

Status: offline 		After I unzipped it, put it into the Matrix Games/Gary Grigsby's War in the East directory and brought up the game it still shows 1.08.03. Should it show 1.08.04? If so I must be doing something wrong. After could you provide a little more info on how to get it to where it's supposed to be.

Thank you.

to get the hot fix in is it?

1)download

2) unzip

3) drag

4) drop it on what? Tell me exactly, I'm dumb. My opponent does know how either, for sure.

Status: offline 		3) copy the unpacked file
4) find the game installation folder
5) paste the file into this folder, overwriting the old file of the same name
6) start game, wait for main screen to appear, in bottom right corner you should see installed version as 1.08.03 and executable version as 1.08.04

Further, the Soviets shredded most of my army aviation recon assets. Playing on the server against MattFL. I've never seen the Red Air Force do so well. Was there any change to the air routine with this new patch? Seems curious.

Why we have house rules, the bombing of enemy airfields is completely Middle Earth and no changes to WitW problem not solved.

Its completely unhistorical as on Eastern Front most airfields were grass fields and only a small number of planes at each one,

its Pearl Harbor everyday under current engines.

Hopefully at some point instead of making uber new air systems they fix the uber broken part someday.

About to get a new game started and wanted to check if it was worth it to just wait a couple days or go ahead and get it rolling?
