From Wikipedia

Director's cut

The "Director's Cut" version of Gods and Generals has an alleged running time of six hours, and has never been released to the public in any format. For the theatrical release, almost two-and-a-half hours of footage were removed to get the length down to approximately 3 hours, 39 minutes. Among the footage edited includes a sub-plot which follows John Wilkes Booth, the famous actor who would eventually become the man who assassinated President Abraham Lincoln. One scene towards the end of the extended cut of the film features Chamberlain and his wife, Fanny, attending a production of Shakespeare's Julius Caesar in which Booth plays Brutus. Chamberlain and his wife have a conversation with Booth and his fellow actors following the end of the play.
Another scene cut from the film features a performance in Washington, D.C. in which Booth plays the role of Macbeth, which is being seen by President Lincoln. When he gives the famous "dagger of the mind" soliloquy, he looks directly at Lincoln while reciting it. Later, when Booth is offered the chance to meet with Lincoln, he refuses.
Possibly the one scene that historians were sad to see removed from the film was the sequence dealing with the Battle of Antietam. The battle was seen mostly from the perspectives of Jackson (who played a major strategic role in the battle) and Chamberlain (whose brigade was held in reserve). A few minutes of footage from this scene was available online, but since appears to have been removed.
When Ron Maxwell showed the director's cut of the film in a very early pre-screening, it received a standing ovation at the end. However, there are apparently no concrete plans being made by Warner Bros. to release the extended version of the film on DVD. It is rumored for release at some point during the Civil War's 150th Anniversery (2011-2015), but that remains to be seen. During a speech at the WV Book Festival, Civil War historian James Robertson said that the he had spoken to Maxwell and that the 6 and a half hour directors cut would be released on video during the first quarter of 2011.

It's not a bug it's a feature, fully intenional and because of this it can't be fixed.

Well.. we have to decide:
1) Do we want to have a very small, ugly horse blanket, waving in the wind.
2) Or should we have two historical and big flags, which will be stick on the ground when the flag bearer is hit.

Number 2 has the bigger advantages!

[mattebubben]

i would rather have a smaller Waving flag =(

[Russ_Ace]

you wont evon notice it that mach while the men are walking, its like M2TW.

[Ulster Confederate]

Id prefer this option

2) "Two historical and big flags, which will be stick on the ground when the flag bearer is hit".

Can we expect to see them being carried into battle soon?
