5.2.2

[gw15]

Okay, this is weird. I can load a saved game from the Blitzkrieg DLC and seems to work but can't start a new game. But the other DLC I have not played yet and it asks me to purchase it.

Nope, after placing all of my units from the start of a saved file it then asks me to buy the DLC. Help!

I want to reload the 32bit program and see if the DLC's work for that. Where can I get it?

That option is still available: http://www.slitherine.com/forum/viewtop ... 64&t=80833

I should add, though, that when I wrote that post, it was before 5.2.2. It may be a bit of a struggle (like, when the 5.2.0/5.2.1 auto-update to 5.2.2 crashes your game and computer but nevertheless does the trick!) but that really is the way to go if you can.

Once again, from the expert:

I am sorry for the issue and for the delay in fixing this, but this should now be fixed.
Provided you are looking for the 64-bit version and are not running a 32-bit version of Windows, please do the below:

1. Please go to the Documents folder for the game (Default: Documents\My Games\Order of Battle – WW2) and delete the folder called “Settings”.

2. Uninstall the both the 32-bit and 64-bit versions of the game and then go to the folder where the game was installed and ensure no files/folders remain

3. Download the file attached in this message "OoB_ClRegx64.zip".

4. Unzip the downloaded file and run the extracted file "OoB_ClRegx64.reg".

5. Allow the "program" to delete the Windows registry keys regarding the game.

6. Install 5.2.1 of the game from the link below and reinstall the game:
http://ftp.matrixgames.com/pub/OrderOfB ... v5.2.1.zip

7. Reinstall all DLCs

8. Run the game and ensure that all DLCs are showing as unlocked and the game is working.

If you need to download your DLCs you can do it from the member’s area. Please see the forum post below which explains how to do this:

the crash mentioned isn't the game either, well it is, but it's a unity 64bit hang, that stops the game from proceeding, but once rebooted, so far it's a permanent solution that's worked so far 99.9% of the time, with only a .1% error with the bike not going across, but that small and minor item can be fixed in a update now most is on the 64bit version etc.

some have to reload the DLC's afterwards once on 5.2.2, and deleting the settings folder again, while for others it works without

Hi,
I face a little problem with 5.2.2 upgrade. I am playing OOB on steam, game is updated to V5.2.2 64-bit.
I loaded a Blitzkrieg scenario (Piatek) that was started pre 5.2.2, in fact pre-panzerkrieg. However, upon achieving victory in that scenario, i was unable to continue to the next scenario. The game show the blank pacific map (which by right should be the Europe map) and just hang there.

Just to test, I started a new Blitzkrieg campaign and cheated to get instant victory just to see if I can progress and I could.

What's the beef here? Does that mean i have to re-start a new Blitzkrieg campaign?
All the previously started campaigns are not workable anymore?

Pardon me if this has been asked.
