All custom campaigns need to go into your My Documents\My Games\BBCBA folder in either the Campaigns directory for single player, or the Multiplayer for online campaigns.

The update shouldn't affect any ongoing games, but I will double check. Perhaps the change to prevent misplaced custom campaigns has had some uninteded consequences.

Cheers

hey pip
i have done that about ten times still would not read it

Not reading the scenarios from the My Documents folders is not something I've seen before. If you navigate to the My Documents\My Games\BBCBA\Multiplayer folder you should see only folders with the appropriate names - is this the case?

Have you moved your My Documents directory?

Is it possible that your My Documents directory path contains non-ascii characters? Are you able to save a game correctly?

Hope we can sort out your issue.

Cheers

Are you able to save games correctly when playing?

no problem infact went back to campaigns and saved a game then restarted it to make sure.

paulolszanski2 · Post by **paulolszanski2** » Fri Sep 03, 2010 7:24 pm

do you think reinstalling the whole game would help?

I can't see how. Let me double check the code which excludes misplaced campaigns. Perhaps you are seeing an uncommon bug.

i tried uninstalling the game and reinstalling it.did not help.when i uninstalled it should i have maybe uninstalled everything in my games folder?

You can try deleting the entire BBCBA folder but you would lose all your saves.

I've not been able to see anything which would cause the behaviour you are seeing, but I will keep looking.

could you send me the beta campaigns like you send the updates?

Post by **pipfromslitherine** » Sat Sep 04, 2010 10:03 pm

The updater isn't set up to write into the My Docs folders. It's only used for updating the official install.

I can't see why that would cause issues! But glad you got it working

i still cant get river of blood to work.doesnt those files go in the same place?

Post by **pipfromslitherine** » Sun Sep 05, 2010 3:15 am

If you mean an existing game, then there is a problem with them currently. Sorry for the inconvenience.

Cheers

how do you get rid of existing games that are stuck?
