Hmm.. On the Sandbox screen? Sounds like you're missing screen file or something. Can you post a screenshot?

My thoughts on the latest patch:

First...sorry for making so many posts.

More importantly:
Great patch! This captures what the team is going forward towards, a more moddable, easier experience with Scourge of War. I love the new options for Sandbox Mode. Sandbox is now almost a random scenario. Great work on it!

I really like the sprite-ratio option given to us in the game. Check out Ward's Third Corps Brigade

Great stuff! Maybe you could have the game rescale the sprites when you change the sprite-ratio so the units still cover the same distance. Perhaps this is a reach, but just a suggestion.

However, the graphics for certain units have definitely diminished.

Artillery and commanders look very blurry far away, which is quite unfortunate for those of us with high end computers and would like to see nice crisp images.

While commanders look fine close up, artillery looks very pixilated. Sorry I don't have a screenie for it, but zoom in on the "best" quality artillery, and you will notice that it is quite pixilated.

All in all, the increased speed and moddability makes the game even more interesting and enjoyable. I hope to see Antietam come out shortly so we can further enjoy this wonderful game.

Glad to see that the team cares about its customers...updating the game and releasing new stuff.
