Try this mod and play it in conjuction with B&F...

Courier_Screen_Large.rar…Ready for Download...To Arms

Your screenshot tells me that the Large courier window that I designed can't be found. Don't know why. This fix should work for now, but I'm still clueless as to why this is happening to you and no one else. And, everything checks out on my end. Thanks for your patience, and thanks for an informative bug report.

I'm assuming this is a mod. You know what that gets you. Anyway I put it in the mods folder, enabled it but it didn't work. Am I doing something wrong? Does it belong somewhere else?

Yes, it is a mod. Just unzip into your mods folder and enable in game, along with B&F v07...order doesn't matter. Both mods should show yellow box by them in modifications screen.

Did that. Disabled all the other mods but those two. Still doesn't work. Using the Witcher scenario as a test but it's a problem on all the scenarios in B&F. Actually I just tried it on the Brigade Scenarios and doesn't work there either (the large courier screen mod). I can install SOWGB on another computer to see if it's just me but I understand that has its' own issues moving the copy protection.

FYI. I was working with Little Powell on a problem where the initial dispatch doesn't show up when you click on the read messages button. Saw the same issue in the B&F scenarios. He said it had something to do with the way the scenario parameters were set up. Not a big problem but us grunts need all the help we can get.

if your computer is free of bugs- I would remove and re-install game with default settings and then add mods one by one to be safe- there is a great uninstaller called revo with free trial

Thanks rclark14. Took your advice. Didn't work. My conclusion is that the Large Courier Screen is not going to work for me. My next question is can I turn off that feature in the Bugle & Flags mod. To paraphrase Vasili in Hunt for Red October "I would have liked to see those flags..."

I'm perplexed, try this...

POPUP_Courier.dds

Download and copy to: /Bugles and Flags v07/Graphics/Screens

Overwrite the current screen file 'POPUP_Courier.dds'...if necessary, but it should be there.

Just enable the B&F mod. Then fire her up.

No luck. I appreciate your perseverance. I'm like a bulldog with this stuff. I hate it when I can't make something work.

I have the exact same problem. It doesn't affect the gameplay so I just dealt with it.

I have the same issue.
