Status: offline 		Hey, while we're waiting for the July release of Mega Campaign 2... oops... can we have the patch to fix the first mega campaign. I quit playing it about 6 weeks ago. I'd like to finish the first campaign before I get bogged down on the Russian Steppes.

Status: offline 		I agree. I purchased the first MegaCampaign as soon as it was announced, many moons ago. Once I received it, I heard about many problems so I held off on starting it until the version 7 patch was released. I am not bitching. I have ordered Lost Victories and will buy any other MegaCampaigns and games, as well as T shirts and mugs already bought. I just would like to play Desert Fox 1941 sometime soon.........

As you know I've been somewhat vocal on this issue in prior posts. I'll back up a bit on my stance to allow that perhaps there was some breakdown in communications. Basically, here is what happened in my case: 1) After playing SP:WAW and enjoying it I decided to purchase MC:NA despite the posts I saw about problems with it because I saw your offer to send the beta 7 patch posted on this forum. 2) I ordered MC:NA in mid September and shortly after receiving a shipping date I sent an email to you as instructed in the post asking for the beta 7 patch. 3) I never received a reply from you. 4) Figuring you were busy, I posted here on the forum requesting assistance from someone who had the patch. 5) Although after a few days a kind veteran forum member did send me a patched mech.exe file, I had to go through more than a bit of what I considered abuse. 6) Also in response to my forum post I received an email from another purchaser of MC:NA who had the same problem getting a response from you. I think my attitude since that experience is quite understandable. However I'm willing to allow that perhaps there was some problem with your email account. Hopefully the 'official' version 7 patch will soon be released and we can all put this rather sad issue behind us. Brian Price

And since this thread was already at the top of the list ..I posted, but if anybody likes the idea ..start a new topic, making clear which Patch you are talking about and let this one fade
thanks [ November 05, 2001: Message edited by: AmmoSgt ]

Status: offline 		You can do 9 good deeds, but screw one up and folks think you don't care... My apologies for missing your request Brian. FOr future reference, if anyone sends email to my matrix email address, and does not get a reponse in 3 days, please send a followup. My batting average for meetingthat window is about .850, but grabbing a few minutes here and there through out the day at "real" work or at home or on the laptop, sometimes one gets distracted between the reading an email, drafting a response and actually sending it. As I have said, we do the best we can, but we don't have the sort of organization here that can be 100% responsive the first time, so 10-15% of the time you have to send a reminder. Somehow that falls more in the "work with me" realm than "abuse". At the stage we are at, we have to accept 80% solutions and strive for 90. If being somewhere in between is fatal, then so be it.

Status: offline 		if i request a patch (presume 7.0) and install it, will it wreck my pbem games that are underway with 6.0 and will my opponent then have to request the patch even if he doesnt have MCNA? just asking before i leap. otherwise i can wait for MCLV for the 7.0. i suppose at that time he will have to upgrade as well.

Status: offline 		A simple solution to this delemma is to create a directory into which you save the version 6 file mech.exe as mech_v61.exe (or something similar) and save the v7 file as mech_v70.exe. Just copy the relevant file into the main SPWaW directory, rename it back to mech.exe and you have just upgraded the game version. Now you can have the best of both worlds, V6.1 for PBeM and V 7.0 for MCNA. The hard bit is remembering which version you have installed but the opening screen tells you that (just below the buttons that select Mega Campaign, Solitaire, PBeM Play, etc). Best of luck,
Reg

My wife used to put up missing posters for me this time of year but since we have been married so long now (16 years), she just leaves the porch light on for when I straggle on home.

Status: offline 		A VERY GOOD QUESTION RICHARD, WHY NOT PUT THE MCNA PATCH THAT PAUL OFFERED SEVERAL WEEKS AGO ON A DOWNLOAD LINK. THOSE OF US THAT PAID FOR THE MCNA 1 PRODUCT COULD PLAY WHAT WE BOUGHT WITHOUT CONCERN THAT WE WOULD LOSE THE PROGRESS WE MADE BEFORE THE YUGO BUST. WHEN I RAISE THE YUGO ISSUE WITH MATRIX, PAUL KINDLY REPONDED THAT IF I WANTED TO TRY THE PATCH HE WOULD SEND IT TO ME. BUT THE USE OF THE WORD "TRY" SCARED ME AWAY. HAVING PLAYED 5 OR 6 SCENARIOS INTO MCNA ONLY TO HAVE THE YUGO ABORT MY PROGRESS WAS AN EXPERIENCE THAT I DIDN'T WANT TO RISK AGAIN.

Status: offline 		Ugh Now definetly I will not open the MegaCampaign without the patch. And if I don't open this one I'm certainly not going to buy more. It took me already 27 US dollars to "import" that to Portugal. "Vini, vidi, vinci" - Iulius Cæsar

Status: offline 		I just received the latest patch from Mr Vebber today, evidently my original email was lost in the shuffle somewhere. So follow his advice, if you email him for the patch and don't hear back within a few days, send him another email. He will get back to you. Brian Price
PS: Thanks Mr Vebber

Thanks for the clarification. Anyway I think it's better to start a campaign knowing that it will be alright all the way, isn't it? Thus, Matrix should have this available at a download page. I mean if they have all the SPWaW available, why not a patch? It would at least save everibody some annoyement and time, specially Paul's. BTW: what is the meaning of Yugo???

The v.7 patch is still in beta testing, that is why is is not available for download until everything is iron out. Once it is done, it will be posted. The yugo bug in MCNA shows up sometime when you finished a battle and when you go to the next one, it shows your country as Yugoslavia and you unable to continue with the campaign

Status: offline 		Hi everybody! Not sure if it fits here, but I found a workaround to the Yugo-bug: I simply turn off all sounds before the last turn of a battle and so far the bug didn't show up any more. Once the next battle has begun I turn them on again. AC
