Please start saving the new ones Kevin, maybe upload them to your dropbox in a labelled area or folder.

When Roland mentioned this I thought, "Oh, plenty of Peninsular scenarios I can offer if anyone's feeling especially masochistic" then had the same thought as you about the work to upgrade them to the new game.

Mr. Digby Mon Aug 10, 2015 7:38 pm

I am in TS now and can play today (Monday 10th).

kg little mac Sat Aug 15, 2015 4:13 pm

I can play today.

Guest Sat Aug 15, 2015 4:18 pm

Me too.

Charmead Sat Aug 15, 2015 4:42 pm

I should be good for today as well. I promis to study up on map reading What a Face

Besides if Morsey is there then he needs a cavalry commander because the do not have horses in Costa Rica.

Guest Sat Aug 15, 2015 5:00 pm

Solo caballo's esta aqui.

Charmead Sat Aug 15, 2015 8:07 pm

Any takers? Morsey, Pepe and I are on KS as of 7 minutes past the normal hour

Guest Mon Aug 17, 2015 1:27 pm

Anything going on today Monday the 17th?

SolInvictus202 Mon Aug 17, 2015 2:26 pm

yes - we'll play...

Mr. Digby Mon Aug 17, 2015 3:43 pm

Though it might be an unmodded WL game to try and break the couriers in the stock game so we have a crash logfile to send Norb.

Or we could chill and play a GB mod.

SolInvictus202 Mon Aug 17, 2015 3:56 pm

I took the liberty to prepare for both - Kevin took the time to fix some of the things I forgot - so we can play both: a vanilla or a KS Mod game with couriers at 50

Mr. Digby Mon Aug 31, 2015 10:15 pm

I am free to have a test or casual game on Tuesday 1st Sept at 20:00 UK time or a bit later. Since I'm not working this week I can stay up as late as needed Wink

If anyone wants a game, please post here.

SolInvictus202 Sat Sep 05, 2015 5:06 pm

Veni, vidi .... but we are still missing "vici" ...

I went to Piedmont, I saw the vineyards... and I forgot to charge the mobile phone before I went to Marengo.... oh well... I guess I should rephrase and simply state that the phone, commanded by an Austrian, refused to take pictures of this location - in the most steadfast and determined fashion possible...

anyway: the main question for this thread would be: any plans for tomorrow? do we already have a scenario for Sunday 06/09 ?

I'll try to catch up with what I have missed mod-wise by tomorrow and will also attend to my duties campaign wise... if there are any...

Mr. Digby Sat Sep 05, 2015 5:19 pm

Welcome back.

Kevin and I are meeting today, Saturday for a test. You'd be very welcome. I don't know who else is attending. Usual time.

During the week we've had four solid and very good games. Only 1 crashed with a host CTD 15 minutes from the end. We have been adding bits of the 112 version mod back in as we go until we got a bad frame yesterday after about 90 minutes. We think we've tracked down what caused it and Kevin is tweaking the toolbar again I believe.

We've made good progress. The problem seems to be a combination of inapplicable formation instructions via the toolbar (e.g telling an infantry brigade commander to form "double line" but hitting the cavalry double line button) combined with some additional load when a player courier is sent. This combo of events makes it a very rare and wild event, hard to predict and pin down. For example in last nights crash we had the same wrong formation button press about ten seconds earlier which the game ignored bu the next one, because it seemed to happen at just the same time as another player was sending a courier, made the game fail.

So the culprit does seem to be MyGUI after all. There's a surprise.

SolInvictus202 Sat Sep 05, 2015 5:28 pm

that sounds very promising indeed! - I am glad you were successful!

tonight, I think, I'll be a bit too tired - I just came back after a 9 hour drive... but I'll report back for duty by tomorrow, gentlemen (and other animals)!

Iberalc Sat Sep 05, 2015 6:16 pm

Welcome back Roland!

I have ready a scenario with the Austria 1809 OOB, if Kevin doesn't have something ready for tomorrow I will post the details.

Uncle Billy Sat Sep 05, 2015 6:35 pm

Oops, I posted a scenario before I saw this. We can play yours instead, Pepe.

SolInvictus202 Sat Sep 05, 2015 7:12 pm

I take it 112Z.7z,453.A/6 is the correct version for tonight's game?

Uncle Billy Sat Sep 05, 2015 7:26 pm

Yes indeed.

Iberalc Sun Sep 06, 2015 7:17 am

No problem Kevin I will leave mine for a couple of weeks from now.

Mr. Digby Sat Sep 12, 2015 4:44 pm

I am free today Saturday 12th. I can be in TS at 20:00 UK time if anyone would like a casual game. I have a collection of Kevin's recent scenarios plus Pepe's Brussels battle of yesterday. We can choose one to play from the AI side.

**Martin** Mon Sep 14, 2015 2:20 pm

I can play again today (Monday) if anyone's up for that.

Happy to play anything.

Martin (J)

SolInvictus202 Mon Sep 14, 2015 2:38 pm

yes - today is vanilla day Very Happy

- be sure to bring beer, whiskey, vodka - whatever is your poison...

**Martin** Mon Sep 14, 2015 2:52 pm

Bravo. If I have time, would you like me to throw together a Reisswitz 1860s scenario?

Martin (J)

Uncle Billy Mon Sep 14, 2015 2:56 pm

We were going to test stock WL with a computer running Win8. If the game crashes then we have fairly good evidence that the game plus couriers is not stable on OS's above Win7.
