Scourge of War Boards

I updated Gettysburg yesterday and when I went to play it all of the text areas on the Amin menu were displayed as empty brown spaces. I can still click on them, but no words show on any screen. Anyone else having this problem?

Thanks,

Coby Treadway

Sorry, I'm not sure why this showed up here. I posted it under the bug forum.

Go to your SOWGB folder and right click on SOWGB.exe. Go to properties/Compatibility and do this:

Thanks, that took care of it. Another question, though. None of my mods are activating. I have gone to the mod section, clicked on them to bring up the little yellow boxes, but when I go to actually play with them they do not show up. I don't get any crashes or anything, they just don't show up at all, it's like I never activated them.

Thanks again,

Coby Treadway

Mods don't appear in the supplied Gettysburg historical scenarios. If you try a sandbox game they will show up.

cheers

Sandbox is where I went. Nothing in there but the standard stuff, despite having mods activated. Anyone else experience this? I have played with mods on in the past so this one has me stumped.

Thanks again.

Mod maps and OOBs will be in sandbox. Mod scenarios will be on the User Scenarios screen. Please check your SOBWG.log file to see if the mods are showing up as active.

I see the mods all listed, but how do I know if they are activated when looking at the log?

Hey Coby,

Look in your SOWGB.log. which is located in the Work folder, if you have Mods Enabled, you should see entries like this :

Game Launched
07:59:37 Version:SOWGB
1.6100
07:59:38 Loading Defined Lists
07:59:38 Initializing
07:59:40 Mod: C:\MATRIX GAMES\SCOURGE OF WAR - GETTYSBURG\Mods\Antietam CSA Flags

This log will list the Mods that are Enabled and your log should them if your Mods are Enabled.

Thanks. They all show up looking just like that in the log. However, they still do not actually show up as options in the Sandbox or in User Scenarios.

I'm wondering if I should delete them and then reinstall them since I updated the game?
