I tried contacting Matrix help desk, but their CGI form doesn't seem to work either. I can't believe I paid for this crap! [ July 21, 2001: Message edited by: David Heath ]

Status: offline 		Hello JD1 Sorry to hear you are having trouble. What set-up are you running? Did you do a fresh install or copy over an old one? A couple of people have had problems that were solved with a fresh install. if you did not do a fresh install delete the steel.prf file, and the game will build a new one when you re-start. If you upgrade to 6.1 that will automatically delete the steel.prf for you. I hope this helps. This is a great game. Hang in there. Alvin

Status: offline 		I had problems to until i deleted the file, which is the 'preferences file' and can be found in the regular Save folder in the SPWAW directory. I'm running windows2000, which causes problems - i can't play with C/C on, for instance. I would save your game by copying the folder in the folder in SPWAW. Do this often, in the middle and end of the game. I know it is a pain, but worth the time, and really doesn't take long at all if your SPWAW dircetroy is opened up. The Matrix guys will help you. What other small - or large - for that matter, would respond to your post at 2am on a Saterday morning? At the same time, i sympathize with your plight. Software bugs are such a frustrating thing. Good luck.

Same. I have Windows 2000 and using C&C with it. crashes SPWAW too. I don't know about realibility without it, as I've only tested that it won't crash without it. And I'd like to use C&C......

Status: offline 		As far as I can tell, I must play the MCNA with C&C off, or else the game crashes... I like playing with C&C on too, but cannot in the MC. I'm sure they'll come out with a patch at some point, the game is still very satisfying without C&C. I know that from experience. Tomo

Yes, but I'm masochist, and MCNA crashing to C&C falls short of my expectations how much I can punish myself. ;)

Command and Control in preferences. Check manual if doesn't sound familiar :)
