Public Beta v1.050 is Now Available! - 7/30/2020 5:34:18 PM

Status: offline 		Hi Everyone,

A new Public Beta is now available for testing!

Grab the download from the Public FTP.

Please see the v1.050 Beta Change Log below.

1. Added Multiplayer to replace the PBEM system. This is accessed via one of the arrow buttons on the main menu (this button art will be changed in the final version). More info below.
2. Fixed the East/West Scenario that was previously incorrectly ending on turn 1. Also, changed Paris so it is worth 2 VPs.
3. Fixed a map bug that could cause some improper op fire near the Philippines.

Multiplayer – To utilize the multiplayer server, first create a user account at slitherine.com. You can use this to log into the multplayer lobby screen. There you can create a challenge game, choosing the scenario, game options, and number of players. You can also view challenges created by others which you can join. You can also see a list of games you are currently playing.

Happy Gaming!

Status: offline 		Hi everyone, this update to AWD replaces the TCP/IP multiplayer system which was having issues and the old PBEM system with the up to date PBEM++ system which our current games use. This makes multi-player much more friendly and easy to use.

However, we need your help to test and troubleshoot this.

Please also note the current UI art is purely placeholder. Once testing is complete, that will be replaced with final art.

Regards,

- Erik

Pity not many people seem to play it nowadays.

Status: offline 		Unfortunately Erik is away for the next 10 days on vacation, so it's not likely anything will be announced for a bit. Matrix may want to get some users testing this before announcing anything wider. We've done some internal testing, but really need to see some players use the new multiplayer version to know if we're ready for prime time. If you try an MP game, please let us know how it's going. When Erik returns we'll discuss whether we need to do more to find some betatesters.

Status: offline 		Hi Joel, same applies to me I'll be back in ten days time from the beach, I will then try to find an opponent, I'm thinking of sending Jon P. an email to see how things are going for him and will ask if he had time for a testing game.
Kind regards.

Hi Joel, my game has been accepted today and have played the first turn.
I saw my opponent sent a message but I didn't see where is the button to send them. This button should be easy to spot. After sending the turn, are you able to send a message?

I think you can only send a message when setting up the game, once started I haven't found the way to do it. It would be nice to be able to send a message to your opponent even if only a short one.

You can download the game from the member's area as long as you have it registered. No need to search for the CD.

Confident it's a bug!

Status: offline 		Well going from basic to advanced would not make sense anyway. Where would the program decide to individually place the supply trucks? All back at the capital at the time you turn on advanced? In reality that would fubar your game. Then all them supplies would have to be shuffled back to the front lines taking up a lot of time. Going from advanced to basic would be ok though.

Status: offline 		Still won't run on my system. Joe at support has sent various ideas none of which helped unfortunately. I'm quite confident the installation is good but still no joy. I click the play field, and the splash screen flickers to life and then dies.

My setup is a fairly solid and mainstream gaming laptop from Asus ROG Strix line, with more than enough power for the published specs. If anyone has any ideas, I'd love to participate in the testing.

Status: offline 		Yes, I just posted a note that the 1.051 update should be out soon. This just has a few fixes and improvements, and should become the official version after a short run as a public bets. The work is done, it's just getting an updated installer and should be posted in the next few days.

Status: offline 		There is no 1.051 official yet. You can go here: https://www.matrixgames.com/forums/tm.asp?m=4958431 to get the 1.051 beta, and then you can go to the thread for the 1.052 beta and add that to 1.051. I hope that helps. Sorry for the confusion.
