I bought the game after trying the demo. I am a HUGE EU2 fan and figured I'd give this a try, especially since I love the time period and there really isn't any other game out there. I tried For Liberty, and I liked it, but this felt finished and polished whereas FL felt a little old school.
Anyway, two issues. I downloaded the game and the patch. When I start the game, I get a pop up error:
"TFileParser.PreLoad File Not Found. C:\Program Files\Birth Of America\BOA\Settings\Display.opt". I checked the directory and there is no "Display.opt" file.
I hit OK, the only choice, and it pops up about 5 times. Then I get another pop up box that says "Several Errors have been generated and this application is stalling. Would you like to terminate it?" There are three options to click, all in French . No matter which button I hit, the game still loads and it seems playable. I would like to know what is causing this and how to fix it though.
The other issue I have is the music. The main theme is great... it's on my iPod! I love it. One of my favorite parts of EU2 was the music as well. Any chance of a patch or music update like EU2 put out that would add other similar pieces to the game? As it is, the theme plays and then is silent for a while. I usually turn off music and play the theme in a loop via WMP in the background for now... other music would be great.
I'm starting my first campaign... I'll let you know what I think of the game.
