First impressions

The game looks good and plays easily. I am having a crash problem at the moment which is restricting my ability to play and ask more questions but I will put down what I have so far. I am a long-time PG(1 and 2) player and some of my comments come from that background.

Crash:
If I reboot my PC and do not run any apps the game runs fine but if I have run other apps or left the PC running for a while the game crashes just after loading the Lordz splash screen. My PC may not be top-end spec but it runs Civ V and a number of resource-intensive games without problems. How should I go about helping you guys with this issue?

The game:
- movement is more a jump than a move. It is nice to see your trucks moving down a road, for example, rather than jumping to the destination. More frustrating is the enemy appears out of nowhere to attack - there is no way to see where they came from, which makes them look like they sprang out of the ground!
- purchase screen closes after each purchase for deployment. I would prefer the screen stays open until all purchases have been made and then all deployments can be done (like PG).
- unit facings are only east or west. Related to the movement thing above. This seems a bit archaic to me - if an old game like PG2 can do 10 facings so that movement and combat looks more 'realistic' then I would think a 2011 game should be able to.

Designer:
Perhaps the main reason PG2 has survived so long as an old game is the inclusion of a scenario editor (and campaign editor by the community). Will Panzer Corps have one?

Try to rename game's Audio folder to something else. Will this help with your problem?

Thx for feedback! Scenario editor is included in the package and can be run via game's Start menu folder.

I have found that if I Esc out of the Slitherine intro (at the end of it) the game will be OK. If I Esc out at the beginning of the Slitherine intro it crashes, or during the Lordz intro.

Could you please try these two things:
- Rename game's Audio folder to _Audio and run the game
- Rename game's Video folder to _Video and run the game

Will the issue disappear with any of these actions? Thx!

I haven't been able to get the game to crash in the last couple of days hence no reply. It was crashing this morning.
Changed to _Audio (left Video as was) - no crash. Changed back and crash recurred.
Changed to _Video (left Audio as was) - no crash.
Since the game opens much quicker without the intro video and because I want sound I will adopt the _Video solution!
Cheers
