Back to action - question - Dietrich - 02-07-2012

Hello everybody,

After a "couple" of years of inactivity, I'd like to start PBEM-ing again.

But before I can start, I have a question..... Are there still players out there that are playing games with the Talonsoft Battleground Series on 32-bit ?

Yes there are. If not here then the ACW or NWC clubs. Is that John?

Ok Big Grin2 I'm gonna fire up the series again...

No, it's Mark.

Anybody up for an ACW scenario ?

I"m always up for an ACW scenario. Which title/scenario were you thinking Dietrich?

Never mind, I thought we were talking HPS Series, not JT's Battleground Series, I don't own that any longer.

I believe that the Matrix and Talonsoft versions pbem files are compatible for play regardless of 32 or 64 bit; am I mistaken?

Seems like I am facing a major problem..... I can't get the original Talonsoft games installed (I am running Windows 7 and the system doesn't respond to the 'resolving of compatability problems'). :complain:

Can somebody help me out here or is there nothing that can be done ?????

Hi
Get the patches from here and reinstall. I believe it's two patches per game. First patch "1.xx" the second patch "1.xx to 2.xx". Make sure everything is unzipped in the main folders and overwrites when prompted.

RE: Back to action - question - Dietrich - 02-08-2012

Thanks for the tip Graeme, but the thing is that I can't get the games installed in the first place.

Agmoss99 explained to me - in the Napoleonic thread - that I would have to buy the Matrix edition of the games, since Windows 7 doesn't allow the games to get installed (something to do with the start.exe), to get started again.

RE: Back to action - question - Dietrich - 02-16-2012

Ok, I went out and bought the Matrix bundle, so now all I have to do is install (which will be done later on today).

Medic21, I'll send you a mail later on (when I've installed the game).

Any other 'takers' ?

Just a quick update... I am trying to download the file from Plimus but this is proving to be very troublesome, I will inform as soon as i get it installed (finally)
