No, I have not tried the shortcut yet for my laptop. I won't get on that until later this afternoon. I knew what you meant about physical and logical. Virtual is the same as logical. It's like the virtual (or logical) ram drive we would set up in DOS in the old days to make programs run smoother. :)

I suppose that your processor supports hyperthreading. You have one real processor and another virtual Multicore processors have several real cores, like the core2duo. Lately intel released the i7,... reintroducing hyperthreading, so you may have now 4 real cores and 4 virtual for a total of 8 thre...

OK. I understand. The issue I have though is that when I right click on a program in the Task manager, I am given an option for setting the affinity for "0 or 1", and with this being a multithreaded CPU, even Windows thinks I have a multi core system. It reports that in my system information. It's c...

LarryP

The batch file returns the error that "/affinity is not a valid argument." I have a single core multithreaded 3.6 ghz CPU running on XP Pro 32 bit. I can open the Task Manager and right click an exe running and I have the option to Set Affinity for it, so this is a weird error. Any idea what to try ...

If it will make you feel any better, I have first prize on stupid. Read my thread here named "Engage button freezes."

LarryP

That battle menu with both sides open came up again. It's nice how well that works when you have your head pulled out of your butt. Gosh...

LarryP

I couldn't remember when I said this if my Vista machine had that option or not. Shoot, well that's too bad. My laptop has Vista on it and when I fire it up tonight I will take a look at it. Seems though that I looked for the slider for acceleration before and it wasn't there. I have to look again t...

LarryP

Oh my gosh, I can't believe I did not even see that. Well, I am a dummy when it comes to the battle screen. I have never had that option before that I can remember.

Wow, I feel stupid.

I installed the beta patch this morning, but this has happened before the patch even. This has happened with my laptop running Vista and also my desktop running XP. Totally different machines in every way. When I set up my troops and go to click the Engage button for battle, it's not available. It's...

It's some sort of integrated one with my laptop: HP ProBook 4510s I had a similar problem with a different game, but I found out it was my sound card causing the problem. I went into the dxdiag menu and on the Sound tab I turned the acceleration down all the way, then slowly increased it until it c...

AVG is what caused me to go to avast.

LarryP

Yes I'm the same Larry. :) No, I would never install a newer version over an older version of a game. It's a clean install. I do have an idea what may have caused it though but testing it will take a couple of nights. Are you familiar with avast anti virus? There is a silent game mode and also an op...

calvinus wrote:Which is exactly the current turn and game phase?

It's the very start of the game. The items I described are the very start, the first thing when the scenario starts.

LarryP

It's not a stupid question as you don't know from your end whether I am an idiot or not. :bonk: :) I have played the game since it first came out in 2007. The lags I am very used to. The mouse cursor was gone, nothing animated, it was frozen. I have seen the lag after I close the newspaper hundreds ...

LarryP

I hit the F9 key and the AI did it's stuff just fine. Then the next thing that happened was the newspaper displayed and I read what it had to say. Then I close it and that's when it froze. I have not had UAC running for almost a year. I hate that thing! Everything I run is under Administrator. Am I ...

LarryP

Started the 2 Player Campaign as I have done many times. The first thing I did was press F9 for the AI turn. Then I clicked the opening newspaper to close it and it froze. No information other than a complete freeze of nothing working. So I did the three finger salute to the Task Manager and closed ...

LarryP

I did the change to the ini file and then played Tannenberg twice with no freeze up. I even won the second time!

An important question: does the freeze occurs always after you click the yes/no intercept button???

Yes. Only after I click the check mark box or OK. Until then the timer is counting down and everything is fine.

LarryP

I tried suggestions from above and it would not freeze. However, the last three times I went to play Tannenberg, it froze twice! The first time I waited until 10 seconds and clicked the check mark. The second time I clicked at twenty seconds. Quite a bit different. Both times I had gone into the upp...

LarryP

My guess (for what it's worth) is that it has something to do either with the interface (notice in my pic how I was able to choose simultaneously all the interception options - minimum, half, full forces - I was able to roam the map, but the ok -or the cancel - button in the interception window did...

LarryP

I've been trying to reproduce this all day long and can't. I have tried with XP and Vista. It happened just once so far. That's good I suppose, but it's always nice to NOT have an elusive bug too.

LarryP

After the tutorials (BTW, got a CTD in the end of the 2nd), I tried the Tannenberg scenario as German, WEGO. I planned an interception with VIII army, and after I hit End turn, the Russian army advances and I get the intercept window to choose. I chose half forces and the game just froze. Nothing m...

I found my original question to this and the answer is F9 key. Short memory.

LarryP

My laptop has no pause key. I don't remember what I did in the original WW1 game to get around this, but in the Gold version, so far nothing is working.

What do I do?

LarryP

Same LarryP from Matrix forums. Hi Markshot!

I am playing the demo of RoP now. I have BoA and BoA2 (WiA), AACW, and Napoleon, and I am wondering whether to add RoP to my collection.

I bought the game from Gamersgate-How do I backup to CD? Being a long term gamer I know businesses come in go...so I would like to have my own copy saved on a CD...can I do this with Gamersgate...or did I purchase from the wrong supplier? Thanks... Gamersgate deletes the setup.exe file as soon as t...

Pre Order? Oh no, not another pre order. After the infestation of pre orders at Steam, Impulse, GamersGate, and Direct2Drive, I'm pre ordered out!

EDIT: I just went to Battlefront.com and they are doing pre orders too!

Any idea when this will be available?

I sure am looking forward to this.

Vicky was the first of two games I disliked so much that I used both for target practice. (Tiller's Jutland was the other.) I've learned that it isn't really worth buying one of their games on release. And HOI3 hasn't made me change my mind. Amen! Every time I have bought a Paradox game I get mad a...
