I'm interested in this title. I don't know anything about Napoleonic warfare but I really Like Frank Hunter games.
I need to know if it will work under windows 7?



Agathosdaimon -> RE: An upgrade (7/16/2014 8:57:48 AM)

i can play it on windows 7 - the only issue i have though is resolution - it wont fit easily into my 1366x768 screen, not without some buttons being off screen - it has a few res options but this doesnt seem to be one of them - the update though i am hoping will fix this



FrankHunter -> RE: An upgrade (7/21/2014 6:53:25 AM)

The new version will certainly work on Windows 7, because that's the system I'm testing it on. There's no reason it won't work on Windows 8 and the only incompatibility with Windows XP might be the saved game file selector but I think it should be fine (I can't test that).

Sorry for the delay but I'm still hitting some bugs after all the code changes. Thought I'd be done this weekend but that wasn't the case. I'm hoping another day or two will be all I need.



Agathosdaimon -> RE: An upgrade (7/29/2014 1:25:55 AM)

great stuff - should be nearly done? just incidentally how far are you with the second vol - thats the one i am really hanging out for! :)



AP514 -> RE: An upgrade (8/1/2014 10:43:38 PM)

Frank.....when is the patch coming ? and how about an Update on the 2nd VOL ?



siddious -> RE: An upgrade (8/11/2014 4:38:44 PM)

I cant seem to find anything out there that dose it for me.Age is catching up with me now ,so much so that an update to this game is near top of my bucket list:)



Kai -> RE: An upgrade (8/19/2014 8:30:44 PM)

This is going to be great. Christmas definitely has come early this year.

Can't wait to see it.



FrankHunter -> RE: An upgrade (8/19/2014 9:01:04 PM)

Hi guys, I've notified Matrix/Slitherine that I'll be uploading the new version today and Tamas is going to notify the production guys to put together the update.

So it should be available very soon but I don't know the day exactly.

I'm calling this version 2.0, there's a lot of new code but gameplay should be pretty much the same although I've tried to clean up a lot of areas and make things smoother. The interface has changed somewhat with popup panels for orders so as to maximize map area on the screen. And of course there's lots more screen options than there was in the old version. Plus there's the addition of hotseat play.

Although its a previously released game and I've been testing the changes for a couple of months on my own there's still a good chance you might come across a bug or two but hopefully not too many and hopefully quick to fix. I've tried to play solitiare, hotseat and PBEM with fog off, partially on and fully on but that's a lot of possible modes and things can get missed.





siddious -> RE: An upgrade (8/19/2014 9:34:12 PM)

Excellent news, cheers Frank, a napoleonic game to play at last !!



demiller -> RE: An upgrade (8/20/2014 2:11:06 AM)

Great news! Really looking forward to it.

Having just finished reading John H. Gill's incredibly detailed, three-volume, 1,000+ page study of the Fifth Coalition war (1809: Thunder on the Danube), I am very interested in checking out this game... especially if folks believe it's worthy of updating 10 years after initial release.



best Command & Control on the market for Campaigns of this era. Looking forward to the upgrade.



FrankHunter -> RE: An upgrade (8/20/2014 8:30:18 PM)

Thank you guys.

I uploaded it last night.

Am going to finish the Elbe game (1806 and 1813) now.



Agathosdaimon -> RE: An upgrade (8/20/2014 11:44:32 PM)

awesome!!!!



Agathosdaimon -> RE: An upgrade (8/20/2014 11:46:05 PM)

by 'uploaded' do you mean it is available somewhere now to download? it is not on the matrix so far as i can see



FrankHunter -> RE: An upgrade (8/21/2014 12:40:25 AM)

I uploaded it to Matrix so when their production guys get the chance they will package it up as the 2.0 update.



AP514 -> RE: An upgrade (8/21/2014 11:10:35 PM)

tombo -> RE: An upgrade (8/22/2014 1:45:53 PM)

Hi all,

Because its a older release, Im on the fence to buy this. Can someone who played provide some review of this game?

I like Franks design and games. i have his new release too. With the upgrade coming, i want to pickup. I have vista and 8.1 though...a little uncertain it will work.

any input thanks..

cheers



FrankHunter -> RE: An upgrade (8/23/2014 4:39:37 AM)

Here's a few old reviews of the original game you may wish to check out so as to have a better idea if its the kind of thing you'd be interested in.

Thank you




AP514 -> RE: An upgrade (8/23/2014 5:27:02 AM)

STILL do not see the update.............:(



demiller -> RE: An upgrade (8/23/2014 4:43:20 PM)

Matrix has to package it up with their installer, test it, etc. It can take a few days from when the developer uploads their software to Matrix before Matrix makes it available. This is also an older game and it sounds like the update wasn't something Matrix planned for, so they're going to have to fit it into their production schedule. There are several new games and updates being released right now which probably have higher priority than an unsolicited upgrade to an older game.

tl;dr - Hang on, Matrix has to do their part first and then it'll show up.



FrankHunter -> RE: An upgrade (8/23/2014 4:55:31 PM)

Exactly



Ralph1961 -> RE: An upgrade (8/25/2014 12:20:59 AM)

Hi Frank,
How about 1600x900 resolutions on your games?



FrankHunter -> RE: An upgrade (8/25/2014 3:40:13 PM)

I have 1440 by 900 and 1600 by 1200. There's no reason I can't add another. Is 1600 by 900 a popular res?



AP514 -> RE: An upgrade (8/25/2014 4:35:09 PM)

I know 2560 x 1440 is......IPS 27" monitors



FrankHunter -> RE: An upgrade (8/25/2014 8:37:51 PM)

The new version of Danube has 2560 by 1440 as well as 2560 by 1600 for large monitors. In all there's 12 different possible resolutions.

Woohoo! [&o]



siddious -> RE: An upgrade (8/25/2014 11:37:43 PM)

Which is why i have been holding back on buying the game untill now, or at least very soon ( much to the relief of a mate who has the original : ).

Oh ye guys @ matrix plz upload this soon, i know you are very busy but someone might die of anticipation here," honestly" :).

BTW could the old reviews that frank posted be pinned, the one from gamesquad is very insightfull, and like the rest not easy to find.
I hope this new version gets some fresh reviews also, there will be many ppl out there needing to know about this gem.
