Back to action - question
Hello everybody,
After a "couple" of years of inactivity, I'd like to start PBEM-ing again.
But before I can start, I have a question..... Are there still players out there that are playing games with the Talonsoft Battleground Series on 32-bit ?

Yes there are. If not here then the ACW or NWC clubs. Is that John?

No, it's Mark.

RE: Back to action - question
I"m always up for an ACW scenario. Which title/scenario were you thinking Dietrich?
Email me: AustrianBlitz@YahooDotCom
Never mind, I thought we were talking HPS Series, not JT's Battleground Series, I don't own that any longer.

I believe that the Matrix and Talonsoft versions pbem files are compatible for play regardless of 32 or 64 bit; am I mistaken?

Seems like I am facing a major problem..... I can't get the original Talonsoft games installed (I am running Windows 7 and the system doesn't respond to the 'resolving of compatability problems'). :complain:
Can somebody help me out here or is there nothing that can be done ?????

Hi
Get the patches from here and reinstall. I believe it's two patches per game. First patch "1.xx" the second patch "1.xx to 2.xx". Make sure everything is unzipped in the main folders and overwrites when prompted.

RE: Back to action - question
Thanks for the tip Graeme, but the thing is that I can't get the games installed in the first place.
Agmoss99 explained to me - in the Napoleonic thread - that I would have to buy the Matrix edition of the games, since Windows 7 doesn't allow the games to get installed (something to do with the start.exe), to get started again.

RE: Back to action - question
Ok, I went out and bought the Matrix bundle, so now all I have to do is install (which will be done later on today).
Medic21, I'll send you a mail later on (when I've installed the game).
Any other 'takers' ?

Just a quick update... I am trying to download the file from Plimus but this is proving to be very troublesome, I will inform as soon as i get it installed (finally)
