Thanks.[:)] For the record , though I have re-installed Windows XP Home with Service pack 2, I have not installed Service pack 3 this time around as I did earlier about the same time i started seeing this strange issue and my PC seemed VERY sluggish. I am not implying that service pack 3 was the problem but the coincidence is there.

So you're not the only one with this problem! Since XP SP3, I've had the exact same "arrow issue". After more WITP reinstalls than I can explain... both mod'd and unmod'd... the arrows persevere. I have not tried a reinstall of XP or a roll-back to SP2. Did you ever find a fix, Gem35... other than not updating to SP3? Thanks much for any suggestion! I just hope that the Devs make AE "arrow free".

It's a memory issue; I turn off all extraneous programs before watching the replay now, otherwise I have the same thing. I guess I have to dig up some more RAM now.....

I guess I have to dig up some more RAM now..... i strongly recommend that 1) always run the replay from a fresh boot and 2) never have anything else running in the background unless it is absolutely necessary. This will help avoid replay bug, as well as other problems like this. i had one WITP problem that i could reproduce consistently, but the troubleshooters never could... the problem was solved when i disabled the screensaver i had...[8\|] [:D] EDIT: turned out the screensaver was a memory hog.

It's NOT a memory issue, my machine has more RAM(4GB) and an E6600 overclocked to 3.0 ghz along with a 3870 video card which shreds any recommended WitP requirements. I am a PC geek who builds and "plays with" PC hardware. I know what I am doing. It either was a spyware issue which perhaps "ate" up all of my RAM or a compatability issue with XP Service pack 3.(some motherboards do not like service pack 3 for some reason) The only fix was re-installing windows and problem disappeared. I am now running Vista Home premium 64-bit without ANY issues so far. Sorry you are having problems RRS. It is not fun, I empathize with you my friend.[:)]

I've seen those image placeholders, but only when playing witp via VMWare Fusion on my mac. Is it a memory issue? I'm only allocating 1GB of ram to the virtual machine, so I wouldn't be surprised in my case.

BTW, i am finding some malware can and will get through the router firewall, Windows firewall, antiviral programs, and various anti-spyware/anti-malware programs... best solution i've found is Malwarebytes AntiMalware (download free)... my brother in-law just installed it on his machine protected by at least 4 different layers of security (including all the things listed above)... Malwarebytes found no less than 20 different infestations (and removed them all). EDIT: Windows Xp Service Pack 3 has been reported to cause problems with WITP by several reports, although i don't think everyone is affected... i have elected not to install it.

SP3 might be my problem FWIW. My new macbook has a fresh copy of XP Home with SP3. Only time I've ever had problems with witp, including a few freeze-ups and missing images during combat resolution. ONly run through a couple turns but we'll see.

Hi there, I had the same exact problem : MS XP SP3 1.806 symptoms: no japanaes ships/ subs no ships at all during naval combat when selecting a scenario, when you read the background and stuff, there should be 3 buttons (confirm scenario, go back to menu..) but it only shows arrows like the arrows for the dissapearing ships. How did i solve this ? I reinstalled the game under another folder e.g. c:\bis\Matrix\... I moved all my art, sound, map etc to this folder by extracting in a loose folder and from there copy paste in my new directory. What i suspect ... 1. corrupt installer from time to time... 2. problem with izarc my extracter ...? so this is resolved for me for the time being... Good luck Salmandra
