Impressions...

The M3/M5 series tanks used to have a problem in 7.x with the fire effect being that of an autocannon. Now, I see the Panther G doing it.

When I keep a Sherman company in reserve, they seem to suffer bad morale spontaneously. I'm still playing out my first campaign, the crews are all veteran or elite, but when sitting in laager, waiting to be committed, *stacked together* as platoons, randomly (it seems) a single vehicle in each stack will suddenly go from zero suppression to 80+.

Driving into buildings is a problem again for vehicles.

And with a 1.3 ghz, 368 MB ram, WinXP machine, I crash to desktop after 7 turns. *Every game*, like clockwork.

That said, I love the improvements, keep up the good work. Sorry for the rant, but I didn't see any threads for issues.

Oh, when I laod the game, it says my version number is 9.5

Where do you have that 9.5 version from?? [&:] Sounds very much like a corrupted or maybe hacked mech.exe file to me![X(]

Harry, Win 2000 displays 8.2 as 9.5, for some unknown reason. I have 8.2 on my work PC, from a proper download, and it indeed shows 9.5. My second home PC uses Win XP, and the burnt-to-CD same install shows 8.2 correctly. Portuguese Mercenary doesn't have a corrupted download. There is just some weirdness happening with some newer PCs and SPWaW. The tech wizards are looking at it, but I don't think it's a problem with the mech.exe itself. I believe the truth is that SPWaW is getting too old to properly run on many of today's high-powered PCs. We knew it had to happen sooner or later, but the same problem is happening with many other older PC games.
