HELP - Installed BA to new PC

Post by Witnere530 »

I installed Battle Academy to a new PC. I have entered my reg number, but the game comes up in demo mode. How can I get the working version running on the new PC?

There isn't a "demo mode", so I'm not sure what you are seeing. Note that the PC version begins in a mode where it requires you to play the tutorial through to unlock MP and the editor, and then the first desert mission to unlock the other missions.

You can shortcut some of this by opening up the options.txt file in My Documents/My Games/BBCBA and changing the CAMPAIGNS line to 255.

Cheers

Thanks, you're right, this was the problem. However, now that I have updated to the new patch thier isn't an "OK" button to launch the game. I can hit "Enter" to launch per one of your previous responses indicating an option to change 150% text to 100%. Where is this option?

It's under the Display control panel, Set custom text size (DPI).

Thanks, I see what you are suggesting, but don't plan on making everything else in Windows hard to read for only one game. This is clearly an issue with the BA as I don't have this problem with any other game. Do you plan on a fix anytime soon?

It is already fixed here, and will be part of the next update. Given that you can hit Enter to continue, I wouldn't suggest changing your settings.

Cheers
