Fatigue on! (tech support!!)

Ok I'm sure someone is not gonna read this and post the obvious response but I'll forgive if they do.

I installed XGM with Fatigue off (I didn't select fatigue) and started up the game. Fatigue was on!?
Ok so I checked my Preference. Fatigue=False...
Fatigue is still on.
...deleted and rewrote the Fatigue=False just in case...
STILL FATIGUE ON!
Am I missing something more obvious then the pref?

Ouh I also tried reinstalling...
Yep, Fatigue is on still..

Are you using Vista by any chance?
If yes, run the installer as administrator...

**Wolfiefang** · February 08, 2008, 06:06 AM

Nope! not touching Vista with a 10 foot pole! I'm on XP.
I really don't think it has anything to do with my system/computer...
Everything runs great, no CTD, all units work fine... I'd just be stuck with Fatigue.

Make sure that you're changing the preferences in the XGM folder and not in the RTW one...

You might need to start a new campaign for the changes to take effect...

Yup. I was baffled by this problem to until I gave up and started a new campaign. Voila! No fatigue.

Lol you want to play with fatigue off? With fatigue off you eliminate the employment of a nice tactic: that one of awaiting for the enemy on the top of a hill, with a triple game speed, and when they arrive you known what it happens.

Although this is true, the AI is not as smart as you and will tire their men every time trying to get to you. It's a little more of a challenge to play with fatigue on, IMO

You MUST start a new campaign for any of these changes to take effect. The first time I observed this was when changing from Large to Huge unit sizes, it would only take effect in a new campaign.

Personally, I play with fatigue off because it cripples the AI (and their stupid enough already). But I do miss some of my old strategies of tiring the buggers out and then destroying them.

Actually since I installed it with Fatigue off... my first campaign should be fatigue off... so yea..

Well maybe I found a bug? I installed the game with fatigue off... checked that it was off after starting my first campaign. but YES! I started my second campaign and it's working fine! Fatigue is off!! (Woohoo!)
Doesn't make sense, but I wonder if it's repeatable...
It could always be that I installed it wrong the first install and somehow misread that fatigue was actually on then when I tried reinstalling it I really did turn fatigue off and so it works now.
Truly all that is important is that it's fixed now. My fatigue is off, and it's much more playable now!
