Mit Windows 7 gibts an sich keine Probleme. Hast du ausser der ini noch andere Dinge geändert?

"Is there any way to get the blood to flow up the walls?"
"I don't see why not."

If you want, you can donate to me. This will not affect how and what I code, and I will not code specific features in return. I will be thankful though.

Ja in der DifficultySettings. Ich hab den Speicherstand auch an einem anderen Laptop mit identischen Einstellungen getestet und der Absturz kam erneut.

Hmm. Weder mit der Exe noch beim debuggen bekomm' ich irgend einen Fehler - und dass ist js schließlich genau die exe die ich hochgeladen habe. Hmmm. Steht irgendwas in den errormessages in \Profiles\UserProfile_JA2113?

Ok, no problems with SCI_Unstable_Revision_7763_on_GameDir_2215. Apparently is SCI_Unstable_Revision_7723_on_GameDir_2201 corrupt.

@Flugente
Have you changed anything on the Drassen Counter Attack ? Because it does not work. See screenshot:

http://www.file-upload.net/download-10436999/DCA.zip.html

The first group no longer exists. I have checked by teleportation.

No changes done there. There is, however, the issue that the AI sometimes stops sending a patrol somewhere if it calculates they will be wiped out immediately, which would be likely, given your high amount of militia.

I tried using this with latest SCI (7835 I think) and UC mod. It would break halfway during load of the first map with 'out of bounds' message after a brief pause. No other message or info, just 'out of bounds'. I tried using increased values (mostly increased sizes to 64), my usual values (mostly at 32) but none of it work. SCI's 7835 exe works fine though so it must be something with this exe and UC first map that just doesn't get along.

Hmm. I really don't like installing other mods for bug-hunting, but I've gotten reports of bugs with this in AIMNAS and UC... hmpf. I assume you installed UC via kermi's and then UC-113 from wil? Want to use the correct one...

Used 7835 from Depri's skydrive, UC with all the patches 'till latest from wil. Otherwise it's clean install on fresh folder. No previous installs or versions on this one.

Update: New volatile release (r7862).

Savegame compatible to 7834, 7771, 7752, 7499, 7205 and 7051 releases.
Updated to current development trunk. Note that a few changes in the GameDir have occured since last time, use the newest SCI.
Fix: CTD when loading maps with Major version 7. This error did not occur with stock 1.13 maps, but definetly in smeagol's bigmaps, and likely also in other map mods as well.

@Uriens: Could you try this exe out, and see whether UC works with it?

I did notice an oddity when playing with increased enemy sizes. Seems that when there is only one enemy left, that last enemy can 'glitch out' by either having his body disappear when he gets shot (you get his items normally with drop all setting) or, in my last battle, he appears to go in suppressed animation while also registering as dead and ending battle. In this case I didn't get his gear and when I reloaded the map, his body was also gone, no corpse. Odd thing is that this seems to happen only to the last enemy remaining in sector and not every time. Sometimes it works fine. I'm using recommended ini settings that come with this exe for max enemy and militia sizes and I have also increased garrisons to 500% of normal in difficulty settings.
That disappearing body is really no big deal, easy not to see it happen, but that last glitch can be a bit of a nuisance as the enemy becomes dead but tactical and strategic overlays handle it differently. In tactical battle is over and game returns to real time with militia going passive but it still shows enemy in suppressed position while strategic still shows that battle is going on (with red indicator in that sector) while you can freely increase time passing as if battle is over. Leaving or unloading that sector and loading it again fixes this. The items from that last enemy are gone however. I will try to make some screenshot when something like this happens, I'm sure they explain it better then I do.

Sometimes when a battle has 40+ enemies, it's possible to clear the entire sector of enemies...but theres still somehow 20 more mercs in the sector?

bumping back to the map screen and then reloading the map makes the other dudes spawn in at least

Bug, as follows:

Militia seems to have lost their equipment, including 4 steyr scouts i purchased

Using most recent volitile release + AFS v4.50.1

What happened:
Created Militia in Drassen Airport
Commanded Militia to move East 1 sector (enemies there), moved merc there too
Battle happened
Commanded Militia to move 1 square east, then 1 square south in preparation of attacking Drassen SAM
Enemy attacks Ira @ Drassen Airport, I accept Militia reinforcements
Militia arrives in Drassen Airport with no weapons, multiple "Militia has no weapon, uses harsh language instead" quotes used

Eh. If they moved two times eat and then once south, those militia are not adjacent to the airport anymore. So then those that reinforced the airport would be different militia, wouldn't they?

Having issues where reinforcements require the map to be reloaded in order for enemies to show up. It'll say i've got 30 or so enemies but i have to go to the map and click on the sector [bringing up that red panel that describes what's going on] to reload the battle

Experiencing an annoying bug where I'm unable to target enemy heads. Like, it says "LEGS" for their legs, and "TORSO" for their torso, right? Well I'm aiming at where 'HEAD' should be and...theres no text. Blank.

I believe this is not connected with this feature and that I fixed that one quite some time ago and the updated exe is already avalilable in SCIs:

Flugente I want to thank you for your many many upgrades of my beloved JA2. In particular this improvement in team sizes which I had asked you about in 2012 I believe. This makes this game incredible.

My question is what is the latest exe that I can use with this feature. I currently still use volatile 6952 as I have for the last year, but would love to use some of the other new features that I see you have added like drivable vehices, enemy Generals and medics, fortifications etc etc. Again thank you for all you do with this game.

At the moment I'm rather occupied with non-coding issues, so I am updating this rarely. The above release (r8234) is the newest one, pick the newest SCI with a lower number for it. So SCI r8233 would be good, SCI r8235 bad.

Update: New volatile release (r8336).

Savegame compatible to all previous releases.
Updated to current development trunk. Note that a quite things have happened in GameDir, and a lot of features added, since last time. As always, use the newest SCI.
Fixed a few possible errors in lua scripts and regarding merc contract termination/renewal.
Oddly enough, in a few cases I found code that wasn't the same as in the trunk, even though I've merged everything (this affected r7970-r7979). Not sure what went wrong there, but should now be fixed (wasn't critical anyway).

Due to popular demand, I'm also releasing a german version of this release. This is one-time-only, I don't intend to repeat this.
