Hallo!

**Serrow** · April 19, 2011, 01:21 PM

Well I just recently stumbled upon this mod and uninstalled EiC to try it, getting a mixed reaction.

From what I can discern, the instability will be done away with in 5.0 and the new models will be implemented, to which I express my greatest joy!

However, the lack of any helmets for my poor helmetless German troops does make me a tad sad, it's not even the crashes or errors that do it for me, are there any submods to correct this until 5.0 is around?

On an unrelated note, are there any people who play MP with this mod? It seems like it'd be a blast on MP, since the ai is so hell-bent on charging headfirst into machinegun fire. (To which I happily oblige)

P.S - Great mod, can't wait for the 'refined' version.

Hello, welcome to TGW!

Unfortunately there are no submods to put in helmets with the current version, that will have to wait until v5.0 I'm afraid. However, the wait will surely be worth it...Shown below is an example of what helmets will be like in v5.0 (if you haven't seen already):

v5.0 is a while off yet, but there is a lot of work going into it and we want to make it the best experience that we possibly can, hence why it is taking a fair amount of time to produce. Progress is good though and things are certainly starting to come together.

For the mod stability, there will be an update coming out, v4.6, before v5.0 to generally improve this and keep things ticking until we can make the big release.

Hope you continue to enjoy the mod

That pic is so awesome, every time I see it.

**Serrow** · April 19, 2011, 01:44 PM

I.. I need to change my pants after seeing that pic.

Thank you for the prompt response! Do you know when 4.6 might be coming out? The crashes do wear on me a little bit.

And referring to my other question, is there any real MP-base for this mod? I might try to convince a few of my mates to dl it when 5.0 is out with the shiny new models.

4.6 should be out relatively soon. As for MP base, there is a steam group, here: http://steamcommunity.com/groups/thegreatwarntw It will probably get bigger with 4.6 and especially 5.0, as well as the planned tournament.

Another minor question, rather than start a new thread -

Is there any point to using light infantry tactics? Based on experience and a few tests conducted with a friend of mine, it actually seems to make my men do worse in combat, O.o

In 5.0, and for reasons tba, there will be

**.Mitch.** · April 20, 2011, 01:36 PM

Yeh I can see light infantry tactics becoming a must in certain situations. Situations that you don't even know exist yet. xD

**Serrow** · April 20, 2011, 02:19 PM

o.o Not sure if I should be scared or excited. Maybe both!

Now if only I could figure out how to stop crashing in fort sieges...

**.Mitch.** · April 20, 2011, 02:42 PM

Is that in the battle or on the campaign map ?

**Serrow** · April 20, 2011, 03:10 PM

Campaign. I keep trying to invade Lithuania, but Russia seems to have set up a trap that shuts down N:tw every time I attack it, which usually corrupts my entire game and forces me to re-verify integrity.

**.Mitch.** · April 20, 2011, 03:29 PM

Ah, campaign bugs are I'm afraid quite common. However there is a patch being developed as we speak to fix many of these annoying bugs.

5.0 will be pretty much completely bug free when that is released. So hopefuly until then you can bear with us, until the later releases.

That pic was so awesome, that I DLed it to my phone to show some friends, and while bored tried to edit it on my phone's photo-editing software. It crashed my phone and I lost 10 months of texts, and all my contacts. I learned the hard way, don't try to mess with TGW's stuff!

If rep is any consolation, take some

**bwc153** · April 20, 2011, 08:52 PM

It was actually pretty funny though... slightly annoying, but in the end, I think maybe having my phone die and removing the temptation of texting my pissed-off friend was good.

Lol. Now that was bad AND nice!

But couldn't you save your contacts from the SIM card, anyway?

**bwc153** · April 21, 2011, 05:48 AM

I had not known how to put the contacts on my SIM card for at the time (know how now), and my phone auto-saved it to the phone's memory and not the SIM card.

**Serrow** · April 21, 2011, 04:51 PM

I think I might've killed my game..

I tried to do a custom battle between germans and soviets, but every time I load -any- battle the game immediatly crashes, I uninstalled the mod, verified, reinstalled, tried that, didn't work. Uninstalled, verified, reinstalled, verified, still not working.

Any halp?

**.Mitch.** · April 21, 2011, 04:56 PM

Are you trying the exact same battle every time ?

We've heard reports that the Soviets are very unstable in battles.

**Serrow** · April 21, 2011, 07:57 PM

I did a campaign battle next and it crashed, so I uninstalled, reinstalled, reverified, and now it worked, though I haven't tried using soviets again recently.
