Setting up Cs with Windows 7 Home ed - Boisforas - 11-11-2010 Gentlemen, Iam having difficulty getting email CS moves to run with my new eddition of Windows 7 Home. I have downloaded CS from new a disk from Matrix & can play AI without problem. I can download email moves from opponents that show up on thescenario screen but when I go to launch the game, I get a battle file read error after the I click the Replay Message. When I click on to see replay I get a black screen with my opponents fire boxes appearing. When I click not to see replay, I get a black screen. HELP!!

Are you using the latest version available from Matrix? Maybe your opponent has upgraded his and you haven't, just a thought.

But it was the best!! I downloaded 1.04 patch from Matrix so I should be in the latest version. Eric RE: Setting up Cs with Windows 7 Home ed - Von Earlmann - 11-11-2010 Sounds like a map problem........are you playing a stock scenario from the game or a custom. If custom make sure you have the correct map file. I have never had any problems with windows 7.

If custom make sure you have the correct map file. I have never had any problems with windows 7. This only happens with stock email moves. AI works fine. I feel Im missing something or not doing something right which is preventing the map to launch. Would you run thru the steps you take to unload & launch an email move? Thanx, Eric RE: Setting up Cs with Windows 7 Home ed - Von Earlmann - 11-11-2010 [/quote] This only happens with stock email moves. AI works fine.

Thanx, Eric [/quote] Sometimes on PBEM if file is not zipped it will corrupt during transmission. Make sure your receiving a zipped file. Unzip the file directly to the game folder and you should get a message the file already exists. Simply replace it with file in the zipped folder. If file is not zipped just save it directly to the game folder. Do not use save as options. Hopefully zipping the files will solve your problem. I have encountered this a few times in years past and for some reason unzipped PBEM files will get corrupted and play as you described. Good luck VE RE: Setting up Cs with Windows 7 Home ed - Crossroads - 11-12-2010 All I can say is that I have the JTCS 1.4 running on a W7 64bit rig pretty much problem free. I do get the occasional issue with file compressions, but haven't seen that for a while. One file to be zipped on a folder at a time perhaps does the job. I also get the map scrollling glitch with the map editor only, not with the game. So it should work... Have you installed the game at its default location? C:\matrix games\... I remember there was a potential problem should you install it under x86 folders... Have you posted your problem at the Matrix forum's support area as well? RE: Setting up Cs with Windows 7 Home ed - Troll - 11-12-2010 Try running the game in XP Joe RE: Setting up Cs with Windows 7 Home ed - Crossroads - 11-12-2010 (11-12-2010, 07:14 PM)Troll Wrote: Try running the game in XP It really should work under W7 as well :soap: |
