War Ace Campaign 4.1 - Page 36

HanSolo78 · 05-23-09, 03:00 PM

Hi men!

@Rick.. no.. this has nothing to do with it. there are no problems with missing or corrupted files. WAC3.1 campaign files work with 4.0 sure, but some new units are missing.

It is only the operating sytem. With XP it runs fine!
Vista has problems with all the high resolution textures... u-boats, land, etc.

I`ll try to upload a version that runs with vista64 fine for me in the evening.
Maybe this will run fine with you also.
Yesterday I also uploaded the file but there were errors in the upload.

So.. next try!

Missions work allright, academy no problem, but the campaign doesn't want to load.

I have the same problem, but with Windows XP. But I see you have an idea of where the problem lies.

BTW, I have just uploaded WAC 3.1 and 4.0 to BtS. I'll do the same for the patch when its released.

Hi Tuddley!

Actually XP works fine for me and most other XP users.
At the moment there is only an examination why there are problems with vista and win7. But we will see...

greetings

Now I think I know what my problem is. I've upgraded from wac 3.0 to 4.0 that gave me a ctd when loading a carrier. (20% aprox)
Downloading 3.1 right now

Hello HanSolo, hello everybody

I did update from 3.0 to 4.0, without 3.1.

But, inside Data/Land I have all the follow folders:

Prinz-Heinrich-Brücke AND Prinz-Heinrich-Brucke.

I have also: RD-Hochbrücke AND RD-Hochbrucke.

The non-umlaut folders contains only the .dat file.

I have also Windmühle, with umlaut.

All the above mensioned folders with umlauts contains ClassName= . . . with umlauts, but inside Campaigns the umlauts are gone. A reason for observed CDT with Campaigns?

Inside Locations.cfg in Data/Terrain folder the two Kreta Yards contains umlauts, and we can see them in the map during game (if not CDT).

More umlauts inside Data/Roster/German/Land + Sea and Data/Sea folder.

Exemple: in Sea folder we have 2 Blucher folders, one with umlaut and another without. But this one without umlaut have inside only the .sim and .tga files. This means ClassName=CABlücher, but inside Campaign we have only one Blucher, without umlaut, and this one is not complete inside Sea.

JSGME can't replace, obviously, this type of files. For the programme, they are different files.

Finally, I can't find version 3.1 in Internet, sorry, obviously I am informatics-handicapped

I wait patch (or instructions) with very big impatience

Thank you very much for your attention.

EDIT: I found right now version 3.1 inside BtS (very good site). But, I really need to apply 1330 MB compressed volume on the top of 3.0 before 4.0 ???????

Hi NGT

Very interesting- what are umlauts?

I find that I have always had ctds with even 3.0, plenty of effort has been made to sort it out.
The 3.1 version starts and runs for a while on mine but still get ctd sometimes when clicking on the map.
4.0 wont run at all, with ctd when 90% through the 2nd load screen.

Hope it gets sorted out as this version is superb when going!

HanSolo78 · 05-25-09, 04:22 AM

Hello guys!

please read the ReadMe!

If WAC3.1 is neccessary for WAC4.0 you will get a CTD.

For Vista Users.. there is a vista WAC4.0 version on my FF account available.
Try this!

Sorry, Han. I tried it and it's still not working. Under XP it works fine, but under Vista and Win7 it still freezes when loading the campaign.

HanSolo78 · 05-25-09, 02:24 PM

@DCB

Hm.. quite annoying thing.. I am losing my nerves on this damn vista issue.
May be WAC 4.0 should be made as XP only

Aye aye Captain, tried that and it worked.

robbythesub · 05-27-09, 03:05 PM

Thanks for the info guys, and especially to NGT who helped me- I shall start on the files and see!!

I assume people have now got it working with no CTD on vista after sorting out these files with the umlauts?

Jail · 05-28-09, 12:24 AM

3.1 to 4.0 works if you delete all your careers. Start a new one and your off to a new sim level. The graphics,details, moving parts etc just blew me away. Just one word that comes to my mind "Outstanding".

Got very slow FPS around harbour with 128 TC and above. This is when viewing the map. System specs XP pro SP3,Intel E6600 c2d,2 gig ram,Gforce 7900 gtx.

Cant wait to get home to reload my patrol nr 2 and continue either to watch the scenery and enviroment or to hunt. :rotfl:
I must admit my first patrol was like I had to have drool rag under my jaw. I just watched for details and if you havent done it yet, man the deck gun and take a look at the animations when operating the gun. I nearly shortcircuit my keyboard. To the team/person and the people around them that made this mod I can't thank you enough.

What do you know, I placed the Sea, Roster, and Campaigns folders back in the WAC 4.0 folder, re-enabled it and gave your idea a try. It worked !!!

Now I have a new problem, I can't open the Observation, Attack periscopes, or the UZO. Tried both using the keyboard, the toolbar, and manually via the conning tower or up on deck. I think it's because I used SetKeys, so I'll try putting the WAC 4.0 Commands.en again.

Jail · 05-28-09, 09:27 AM

'O' key = attack periscope. F3 = obs scope. All other things works as they should.
