Since I could not find this anywhere and I looked. I have been playing Steel Panthers since it came out. I have been playing World at War version since it came out. When I upgraded to Windows 10 it stopped working. So yesterday I thought I would try once again to get it working on my computer.
So I bought the Generals Mega Campaign edition and installed it.
Win, the game works, kind of.
Everything but artillery works perfectly.
Artillery appears to have a bug involved with the cursor. When I click on artillery I cannot select a hex until the cursor appears and even then I am having to click it 5-20 times before it will work. So imagine if you will a random campaign. You have 2 mortar batteries of 6 mortars each. An FO and your commander to direct mortar barrages. And every single turn you are having to click upwards of 5-20 times to pick a hex, to then pick type of ammo or worse have to adjust fire, now do that 12 times each turn. Then add to that a scenario where you purchased off board artillery.
So I have just added several hundred extra mouse clicks that are not registering because of some kind of bug between the cursor and the mouse but only in artillery. Every other part of the game one mouse click works perfectly every time I click the mouse. But in artillery screen it takes sometimes upto an extra 60 mouse clicks.
So there is a serious bug in this program I purchased yesterday.
As I could not find a bug reporting section and nobody is talking about this problem. I thought I would point out that a game being sold as of yesterday has a serious issue with it. So bad, I could not finish a normal random gen campaign first scenario of Germany defending against Poland across a narrow front in 1939 in my usual time of around 30 minutes or so. Because I am clicking hundreds if not thousands of extra mouse clicks each turn. It is incredibly frustrating.
Like I said, in no other part of the game is there an issue with the mouse. Works perfectly every click.
In all my years I have never bought the Mega Campaigns and was looking forward to playing them. Now the game is simply to frustrating to play because of this bug.
I have had this game on my pc since 286 dos days. The second there was a work around to make it work on Windows I had it back on the computer. The same for windows 7. I lost the game in the upgrade to 8 and then 10 and after hunting and searching and lurking found it was working again if I bought the Mega Campaigns here at Matrix.
So here I am and it works, yeah, kind of, boo.
Yes I found out during a live Twitch Stream that Steel Tigers is soon to be seriously being worked on. Unlike many here while hyped I will wait until the game is done to pass sentence.
Please help. Is there a patch somewhere that fixes the mouse bug in the artillery screen? Is there a work around. I really love this game and spent 4 hours frustratingly attempted to play a single scenario and yeah I am not even done yet. But I did successfully save the game and was going to post here first before pulling my hair out again.
Thanks All and if I missed a post about this or a fix somewhere on this forum or elsewhere, thanks in advance if someone can point me there.
Now all I have left to do is download all those campaigns I used to have and any new ones since last I installed this.
Thanks,
Chris
