Thanks, the first thing I notice is the improved camera - this is much better now I can get back to my up/down/left/right arrows with the left hand for camera movements, a great improvement.

Also fixed my "bad" red screen map.

J'en avais vraiment marre de voir des glissades.

Maintenant, tous à vos tests afin qu'Histwar soit un Grand Jeu en peu de temps. Il n'a pas de rival mais il faut continuer à l'améliorer pour notre plaisir et pour sa pérénité.

All isn't right yet.. but we'll continue to improve Les Grognards

You find a bug... Could you add on redmine. It's more easy to follow the different requests.
On the forum, it's more complex.

After I download the patch and try to run it, I get the Histwar error message saying that it "can't find my installation."
I have HW:LG installed, so why is this happening?
The error message tells me to reinstall the game first.
Is this really necessary? It's a long download.
Titre: Re : Patch 01 A
Posté par: Hook le 28 février 2010, 01:45:16 am
You only have to download it once.  Keep the install file.

If it's not finding the game, check to make sure you have the correct installation folder in the patch install program.  Having the wrong path would certainly give the error you've encountered.

Posté par: Broadsword le 28 février 2010, 02:26:24 am
Hook,
Please explain more precisely what you mean, because I'm still getting the error.

I followed this sequence:
1. Clicked on the link to the patch,
2. clicked "save" in the download window,
3. Specified C:\Histwargames\Histwar as the destination for the patch download,
4. Once the download is complete (the file is 5,233 KB), I go to "My Computer," browse for C:\Histwargames\Histwar directory, and then double-click the patch installer file.

Then the error pops up that it can't find the installation.
What am I doing wrong?
Titre: Re : Patch 01 A
Posté par: Hook le 28 février 2010, 02:37:46 am
When you double click on the patch installer,  and click through the installation screens, it should eventually show one like the attached screen shot.

In my case, my game is installed to C:\Games\HistWar.  This is the folder that contains LGDN.exe.  This is the folder you want showing in that window, the one that has the LGDN.exe in it.

Hope this helps.

Any update on when the "white screen freeze" at first start up will be fixed, I see it was on the list of known issues and I assume it must be hard to fix, or it would already have been done in this patch.....is it something that might be days, or weeks away ?.

I don't work on this issue because it's possible to launch the different software without the main program.
That said..yes, it's not the best and I have to fix this issue up.

Version H10 is correct.  JMM is using a different version number than the name of the patch.

The previous version was G48, I think.

I avoid the white screens by launching directly from the LGDN.exe program icon.  Also, you don't get white screens if you play windowed mode.  Apparently something wrong with changing video modes.  It also happens occasionally when you alt-tab out of the game when it's in full screen.

I don't know yet.  Actually, if someone has already downloaded and installed, make sure the Hanau map works this time.  If not, we'll need to do another patch. I won't know for another half hour as I'm forced to be on dialup at the moment.

After Installing that last patch (HistWar-Patch01a_1-install)
I am getting a error Message when trying to open MapEdit or OoBEdit. The System can not find file specified.

This happens if I try to start from HitWar.exe or if I try to start either program directly with double click. Both edit programs are still in my (C:\HistWarGames\HistWar) folder.

Try starting one of those programs again, and then look in the Tracking/spyBoard.txt file near the bottom to see if it says anything about a missing file.  If you aren't sure, post the spyBoard.txt file here and we'll have a look at it.

I had the same problem as reported in anomalie 892 on the new bug thread:

"After installing the patch i can`t use the OoB and Maps Editor anymore.

The message is: The Sytem can´t find the file." 

The grognards program was patched and ran ok as did the doctrine editor but not the map or OoB editor after the patch.

I think this was because i had installed the full program into a different root file to the default. ('C:\HistWarFull\HistWar' rather than 'C:\HistWarGames\HistWar' ) I did this because I had also left Demo1 and Demo 2 installed on my computer as well as the full program (and demo 2 was in HistWargames folder). I directed the patch to install in C:\HistWarFull\Histwar and it patched the grognards but disabled the map and OoB editor.

I solved the problem by deleting the program ( after backing up my Map, Army, Scenari, OoB and Save folders so all the added games and user maps etc were not lost),and deleted the demos and then reinstalled the full program using the default folder and then ran the patch on this default folder and all was well again: all editors work and the full program is properly patched.

You can see it in the first page of the game:

Hi ajlewisbrooks, all you need to do is copy (Ctrl-C) the folders : Map, Army, OoB, Save, and Scenari then paste them into My documents (Ctrl-V) then delete the HistWar program folders, then reinstal using the default folder which the install program creates, then run the patch on it (again the default so you dont need to enter any folder names). Then to restore your files:  copy and paste each of the saved folders into the HistWar folder, they will add their contents to the folders of the same names there. ( i.e. no need to copy each document in the folders by hand) . Apologies if you know all this but if not it will save you lots of time!

I'm reporting the 'gliding' problem as well in the Campaign Map.
Tried all game presets...happens in everyone.

The partial white screen is forcing me to do the 'three finger salute' I'm changing my screen resolution
to the game standard resolution ( I was running higher with LDGN Demo)
