So is it finally fixed?

As the title says. Is the game stable now? How about crashes and terrible stack composition from the AI? Is diplomacy at least decent? I haven't played since April when my game kept crashing and I couldnt annex anything - control always on 95% for... reasons - and the situation wasnt really promisin...

I'm glad to hear that you have solved your problem. However the only antivirus I have is Kaspersky which already has an exception for NGC.exe. Since it is an expensive but very good solution I do not want to disable it just for this game, if that is the suggestion in mind (it usually is)

Ok. I have verified game cache and replaced 100 files or so. Still crashes. Then I uninstalled and installed the game again as I had no other choice. The game worked fine in 1.02a. Then I installed again patch 1.03 and it worked. However, I started a 1805 campaign as the French and the only button a...

You have broken my game again

Just when I was about to say that things could have been interesting, I installed the new 1.03 patch on my Steam copy. kd79sNz.jpg ... Holy f*** guys. Seriously. No words. It will not load by the way, no matter what I do. Keeps getting stuck between 40 and 60%. Sometimes it doesnt even display the m...

When the game is fixed I'm more than willing to do multiplayer with other 6 people, even if it takes years, I'm committed to it. I'm not complaining because I have nothing better to do, but because I want it to be good. If anybody has a pbm game ongoing with newcomers, I may join.

Apologists and addicted die-hard fan aside, I was giving suggestions to fix the game before it "could" become a classic, because I bought it in December and it started working last week. Kind of.

Also it may be just me not getting the battle system to its full potential (I got to admit, its pretty sweet - even though I would like to see even more in-depth choices for the player) but, in the same 1806 campaign, several single units willingly engaged battle with me. I had combined two corps wi...

Maybe not 100% relevant to the topic at hand but since I finally can play the game, I started a 1806 scenario to get a grasp of the controls and general gameplay. And ... there is russian artillery everywhere. Also prussian supplies and saxon cavalry (single units) wandering around aimlessly. Especi...

Silly question about PBM

So, reading all the threads and having tested some more turns in, having calmed down and being reasonable, I ask if somebody could clarify how PBM works. I never did any and I'm only aware that it involves compressing saved games and is multiplayer. What kind of multiplayer is it? Can it "solve" Ai ...

As I've said I understand why people might be angry. No need to get personal. I'm not your dude and by no means the devs best bud. Still I have my own opinion and you have yours. I would prefer too if everyone was happy with WON. Apologies, it was a generalized "you", I'm not a native english speak...

Well, I don't speak for the devs and I have no deeper relationship to them at all - I'm just another forum user. This is just my opinion: we're in a niche of a niche of a niche and I think that the ageod fan-crowd is very small. I assume you can count the people who have a basic understanding of al...

I will enjoy it more when it stops crashing every 30 minutes, how long does it usually take for ageod to patch up a game to be stable for 90% of people? Told you.... By the way, the Steam version of Pride of Nations is not even the final one, you should check this forum for the last patch. Yes, I k...

I don't want to make this too long, but the first strategy games I player were the Total War series, then I moved on to mostly Paradox titles like Victoria 2 and EU3 and pretty much all the rest. I've also spend about 80 hours into Distant Worlds. I came across this game (set in my favourite time p...

Then this game seems to actually hate me to the guts. I'll install the game again in a custom folder and see if it wont let me play again. If so I'll install in the default folder, then install again all the patches. If this doesnt solve things I'll pray in a foreign language. I have Windows 7 64bit...

Tried this patch just now (overwriting the old one).

Also now as I click quit and agree, the game hangs at the pic...

That's where we want to go for our next game: make it simpler and accessible to all, like it is now expected by players. If I may humbly suggest from a "newcomer" perspective: dont do this. Dont say publicly "we want to do this and this for our next game ". One immediately loses faith in your curre...

A lot of good comments, I'm glad there are even programmers trying to explain how things work (or dont, in this case). I own almost every AGEOD game and buy them (including WoN) mostly to support the developers, even though I know I'll probably never be able to play them. So I am a fan. But the epis...
