The Blue & The Gray 2.6 open beta + UPDATE released

[shokh]

Hmm most people reported that 2.6 is way more stable for them as 2.5 was.
I had also for my own no savegamebug till now.

Let us find out what is wrong. Please zip your savegame which is working and tell me at which turn it is crashing when you hit end turn.
I will take a look into it if this will happens also at my system.

shokh here u are:

Also to make sure that no other ETW mod is causing trouble I deleted all other mods before new install of 2.6.
with this new 2.6 install and new campaign I got a few turns further than the last one.

autosave is the last save, after which I got a crash.
The 1862 winter is a few turns older but after my CTD also for some strange reason not loadable anymore.

When I reached 1862 I did every 5 turns a save. But all the other older saves all from same new campaign are not loadable anymore ...very strange
How can this be when they are much older than the CTD ?

Sadly this is normal with savegamebugs that the corrupt also previous savegames too.
Please be patient, i need some time to test it because iīm runni9ng an other version now

Sorry if this has been asked/said already but i noticed when fighting the European powers that they apparantly dont know any advanced fire drills so only the front row fires, meanwhile three ranks of my union soilder decimate them lol. Not that im complaining haha. I assume this is something that will be worked on later? just wondering really. oh and when do you think that North vs south will be able to fight in a multi campaign, thank again for all the hard work.


thanks
Merc

This would be changed in the final 2.6 version. In a few days it will be released

[Ben9440]

Awsome thanks much!

[Ben9440]

Oh and wanted to add that i think the accurancy decrease has made it alot more fun! A little slower and more enjoyable in my opinion.

Shokh and team... Great Mod!!! I've been playing for a few days, and like where you are going with what you've discussed here. I have thoroughly enjoyed playing it, with a CTD issue here and there but no showstoppers yet (save often).

One small question, why place Stonewall Jackson in Texas at the start of the war? I believe he was teaching at VMI in April '61.

[shokh]

*pretext* We start in February

No, to be honest this was minor things that i didnīt changed last minute. We started without of war between the two factions and in this case it wasnīt that important where which character is.
But now it is more important, sure. Lack of time mate.
Usually Hinkel planned to go straight from 2.1 to 3.0, but the way we did with releasing 2.5 and upgrading it to 2.6 was way better i think. You should now have an better version for the waiting time to 3.0

hey shokh
itīs run bedder, but i have the self problems as the other. if it a normal save or a autosave, by the last flag its cruch.

In Turn 11-12?

[MarKusDib]

I war reading the isntall instructions and i have a doubt ...
Is it necessary install version 2.5 before 2.6 ?

TYVM

[shokh]

There is written in the instructions you must uninstall 2.5 before install 2.6.

[MarKusDib]

Ok thanks
The same method of installation for the Steam Users ?

[abooskar]

hey, itīs correct, 10-11 turns, ather then the game closed. whzen i start at round 20, itīs close by turn 10, when i start by round 15, itīs closed by turn 10-11. Also, i can play 10 or 11 turns, after then, ....

its strikly

[shokh]

Seems that your system have problems to handle this special turn like we had for other users too.
In this turn there are many calculations. Disable all what you not need to help your PC.
"Show AI movement" should be deactivated and maybe campaign map graphics too.

Or you can try this startpos. You will start in 1862 and the turn with the many calculations is passed.

Es ist wie verhext, entweder kann man ein gespeichertes Spiel nicht mehr starten, da es im ersten viertel des Ladebalkens sich verabschiedet, oder wenn man neu beginnt, und über 10 Runden kommt, also bei runde 20, dann schmiert das Programm beim Rundenende ab, genau da, wo die fahne von Punjab (also die letzte) kommt. man merkt es daran, das die musik im hintergrund für 1 sekunde weg ist und dann wieder einsetzt.

war mir in Englisch zu schwer,

[shokh]

Please try out the startpos i have posted, replace with them yours in data\campaigns\ACW but backup the file which is currently in this place.

[Niccolo` Machiavelli]

Any way to have 4 turns per year?

[shokh]

You can change it in your startpos.esf by using ESF Editor.
This is very easy, but if you have problems with get it working ask me again please.
