abrjewp -> RE: Are you having Campaign Problems? (11/26/2017 2:56:59 AM)

Hello,
I need your help and am facing similar problems to what Darino had in post 70 and am hoping to be able to finally complete East Front South!!
The difference between Darino and I is that I have the problem for the Russians around the 550K point mark (late July early Aug '42), then the 1.1M mark, and now the 1.2M (3/2/43). My problem is that after I pass 550K in points, the game does not complete the mission after the general's speech. After the general's sprrch, I either get a run time error or the games closes such that I am at the initial East Front West Front Rising Sun selection screen. When I resume the campaign I get a resume mission screen and the process repeats. I first had this problem since Dec 2015. I have experienced it for five different Russian commanders for tank corps B/D or B. Product support was unable to find the solution so I am appealing to the forum as my last resort, I am hoping just like Darino to be finally able to complete the campaign.
After the first two commander failures, I began saving the commander files at key times like just before the 550K mark or with my latest commander saving the last turn's commander's files and the commander's files after the battle completes so that I can reload them when I encounter an error. I have had this problem for different versions and have all of the updates.
For my latest commander at the 550K mark I was finally able to get past this point by interrupting the close sequence by clicking help when I receive the score screen and making many repeat attempts to close. I would delete the old commander files and reload the saved commander files for each attempt. I experienced a couple of repeated problems from 550K to 1.1M, but was able to easily resolve them though the help screen reload process. When I went past 1.1M, I found it particularly hard to get past this point and must of have tried literally 50-60 times using the help reload method above without success. I then when to explorer, sorted by date modify on East Front and saw the related campaign, frontend, engine and AI files that were associated with each battle. So I went back to the battle before going over 1.1M played it and save all of the files associated with the battle and then went through the help and reload process and was able to go past that point. Now, I have hit a brick wall when I get to 1.207M or 1.209M at the beginning of March '43. None of my work-arounds work.
There is also no pattern in terms of the file order when it does not work. For example, at the of battle/scenario and score screens the order of the files are always: engine, noautorun, frontend, ai, commander's name.cpn (e.g., Belkin.cpn) .... After the general's name, for the run time error, they were one time ai, Belkin.cpn, engine, frontend and for another time they were engine, frontend, ai, Belkin.cpn. Likewise, when the game just closed without the runtime error the files could be frontend, engine ai, Belkin.cpn or frontend, ai, Belkin.cpn, engine.
Again, I either receive terminate in an unusual way or the program closes and goes back to the start up screen. Again, I am at the corps level (13th Tank Corps - B). My infantry has been upgraded to guards '42, my artillery is all 76mm: 2-four gun batteries and 5-2 gun sections, and my armor is all T34's'41 model organized in either 11 or 12-tank companies.
So, any thoughts on what to do for any stage from just over the 500K mark to the 1.2M mark. Again, I am only at March 2, 1943 and still have over two years that I would like to complete. [&:]
THANKS in advance for your help!![&o]
