Status: offline 		I downloaded the update and the game seemed to work fine but then when attempting to start I got the error message
'unable to locate project file'. I uninstalled and reinstalled the program from the original download but now I just get a black screen. Any advice would be appreciated! I have attached the output log file.

Regards

Steve

Verifying the steam files took me back to a black screen.

Right click on the game in your Steam library list, select properties and uncheck "enable steam overlay".

Status: offline 		Can you try downloading the file:
https://www.dropbox.com/s/5bwwuzvefux0ih3/1024windowed.zip?dl=0

Unzip the content (options.dat) to Users/<username>/Order of Battle - pacific/Settings, replacing the existing file. This should start your game in 1024x768 windowed mode.

Does that get you into the main menu?

In case of need just copy the file again.

Window mode seems to correct this.
