Hi, In WitE, is it possible to turn off the introduction sequence that plays before the game starts. Each time I start the game menu and click the [Play Game] button, I have to sit through a 2 or 3 minute intro/credits sequence before getting to the main menu - once was okay, now it's annoying. I'm ...

Thanks. I did a boat-load of study on this topic back in the 1990's. There may be more, better sources out more recently that I haven't seen.

Re the points of equipment, naval-wise China was of course no match for the IJN, but afaik we don't have large-scale naval battles here anyway. That's right. The Chinese Navy in 1937 consists mostly of smallish, outmoded river and coastal gunboats. They did have two relatively modern light cruisers...

2nd sino-japanese war 1931-1945 will be cool !!! Way cool... but I do think the time frame '31 to '45 is far too big of a bite to swallow - as others have pointed out there is too much political convolution throughout this long, long time-frame for a "war"game to deal with effectively. Mo...

We're interested in playing "live" (so to speak) with three players. Any thought on what would be the best approach for that? In the past, we've played a lot of games on VASSAL using a headset and teamspeak voice-communication software. It was about a close as you could get to playing face...

Indeed. I had to do the same thing for 1.7.0 update.
It's very peculiar that I seem to be the only one with this issue. Wish I could zero in on what's different with my system.

So, back at it with success this time :D @Tarrak - safe mode didn't matter, I got the same exact behavior. - Thanks though, it was a good idea. What I ended up doing uninstalling and reinstalling the original game 1.5.8. Then using the Order-of-Battle Pacific Game Menu, clicking on Check for Updates...

I fought with it for so long I just gave up, for now.
I will have at it again when I catch a breather.

-Mark R.

Thanks Tarrak - I will give that a go.

This is from a fresh install? (I was going to suggest reinstalling but it sounds like you already have. What did you change to get past your last error? I uninstalled the non-working updated version, including deleting the user files in my user folder. Then, I reinstalled the original 1.58 image ag...

Okay - got a little further - far enough to get the attached error logs and crash dump.

Thanks for any help,

Slitherine I guess - I don't even know what "steam" is
(Why would there be multiple versions? Is this something we need to concern ourselves with when updating?)

Okay, I've finally gotten the original 1.58 reinstalled and working. Then I installed the 1.67 update and now, like a big circle, I'm back to my original update issue getting this error when I try to run the game: Could..... not preload global game manager #0 i=0 Any thoughts, Again, thanks for any ...

I installed 1.67 update and haven't been able to run the game since. Following the failed update attempt, I've tried to uninstall and reinstall several different ways - all unsuccessfully. My last install I've tried to revert to 1.58 (the last working version I had) and after installation I try to r...

These are great Erik - we really appreciate your work on them. Any chance you might be willing to make a 3vAI version of one or two of them (if that's not too hard to do)? Thanks again! -Mark R. Adding a new 'faction' in between existing ones is a major pain. It screws up all victory objectives and...

This seems to be a game with great potential (still NOOB here, getting the feet wet) and I'm looking forward to playing more and hopefully getting some of my long-time, wargamer friends involved. However... I'm curious why stacking isn't allowed; not just in this game (OOB Pacific) but in other simi...

How about this combo: 3x human vs. 1x AI?
Looks like the Alliance Tab in the editor doesn't allow for that.

Okay, all I ended up doing was clicking "Ignore" and the game appears to have completed installation successfully.

-Mark R.

Any thoughts why I might be getting this error?
I got the same error trying to install to the default C:\Slitherine directory too.
