RE: COW shutting down - m5000 - 04-09-2007

it is

this is from an old post in 2005 i don't remember where from '"1.06 was flawed in its treatment of the chance to penetrate calculations for anti-armor combat. 1.04 is the last good patch for CoW. Norm had acknowledged the error in 1.06, and gave us some tentative hope that he might get around to correcting it, but that was a long time ago...", posted by JAMiAM


the problem is that many people seem to have problems with v1.04 under winXp while v1.06 is said to support Xp, although i never had any problems with v1.04 under Xp...

I had some problems with 1.04, the modern day scenarios (Fulda etc) wouldn't load, I would just get a large blank map. With 1.06 it works fine, but I find that combat is pretty easy. Of course, that is against the AI but none the less in the game I am practicing with against the CPU I have defeated the North Koreans in about 2 months!

As for the crashing, that was due to my not deleting the necessary files before installing the patch.

can you be a bit more specfic about why they wont load.

Do you get any error messages etc ?


RE: COW shutting down - Weasel - 04-11-2007

Nope, the game would say they were loading and would go to the first turn, but there was no map, just a big green field (no roads, cities, hills etc). I will try again though, but I noticed that the patch on the blitz is 1.6, can I get 1.4 from Talonsoft?

Thanks. I must have missed it when I got the 1.06 patch from here.
