I bought this game on an old computer many years ago and enjoyed it, but when I tried to install it on the new one it's crashing to desktop seemingly random but often enough that it happens within one or two turns, especially if there is combat. The CTD just says windows has an error and closes, no...

It runs very well on Windows 8--in my case, better than with previous Windows. I made the big switch in December to 8--WW1 was one of the games that kept on ticking.

Regarding the 4 core CPU--I can't say. I am still using an Athlon 64x2 5200 (the oldest part of my pc).

BTW--I monitored the cpu and memory usage. The game is using under 500MB's now--an absolutely amazing improvement. I recall a time when it used more than 1 gig of memory. The CPU is using 30 to 40% for the game. In comparison, HoI3 uses 60% on the same CPU. The data exchange via the router is minisc...

Sooo, good news--it runs like a champ on the LAN. I changed the game settings to full army by army with all sub boxes checked. I also used the battle ai for both sides--both to make it a bit easier and to eliminate getting confused :) . In two previous attempts the game would sort of stop at the end...

Wireless is just as fast--or faster now than with an RJ 45 hookup. However, (you prompted this thought) a USB hookup to booth computers to the router just might be more stable--dunno, but I am going to try that. My computers were side by side--connected by wireless network. 50 feet apart can make fo...

Through the games development it had its ups and downs with TCP play. At one time it really worked (played to mid '15 once before stopping due to updates), but as more patches came out, it went "south". As I really wanted to have MP games with WWI I spent a lot of time working with in the MP mode. T...

Windows 8 and WW1

It works! I just upgraded my gaming rig with a SSD and Windows 8. Installing all the games turned out to be the most difficult part of the process. Some games, that are not that old, will not install properly. WWI did. It could have gone a bit more easily with WW1 but the various updates and install...

An interesting question, and one I've spent much thought on. What always stands out for me is the Central Powers' failure to properly smooze Italy in the years running up to the war, to the point the alliance with Rome was pretty much a dead letter by August 1914 regardless of how hostilities start...

Combat events are presumably played before battle. Yes-forgot about that. Do you hang on to events that are good for your opponent if you draw them so they won't get them? Or can you discard them without fear that they will be drawn subsequently? Hanging on to dangerous event is a wise thing to do....

Political choices can be made anytime, but will only go into force in the next interphase. Events will go into effect immediately.

The Mulhouse thing is something I had seen in the 14 MP scenario-reproducible. That was a while ago-apparently it is still there. As this TCP play is finicky, all due care should be done in preparation. An example would be what the MP players of HoI 3 do every month or so; reinstall the game. Whenev...

I don't understand exactly the question. The pbem mode does not use the TCP multi player, only the email stuff... Each player generates the Orders file and attachs it to the email that sends to all opponents. I did not know that you could change the game to a PBEM type-thus I thought you were just ...
