I don't think RathOs is bothering with Britain at War any more, but it's good to see that others are still playing it and still trying to find ways to make it work properly.
I've loved this mod since 1.0, it's really one of the most enjoyable mods I've found. It has had it's share of bugs, and actually it seemed to get more and more buggy as newer versions (and patches for those newer versions) came out. I was recently playing 1.3, patched version, and it was driving me nuts so I went back and reloaded 1.0 unpatched again. Surprisingly, it played MUCH better than the newest one.
I'm pretty much clueless when it comes to things like mods, in that I don't know how they're created, and in particular I have absolutely no clue about editing (like when they say, 'go into the file install_dat_fungus_deepthroat_cheeseburger.ini and change ''skidmarks=0" to "throat wobbler mangrove = luxury yacht"', I can do it when it's spelled out for me like that, but I have no idea what any of that stuff means). But I know some of you out there might know a thing or two thousand about these things. I've followed, and recently reread, a lot of the comments and suggestions in this thread about bugs and fixes, but there are quite a few in each version of the mod, and not all of them have come up in here.
I was thinking of putting together a list of all the errors/bugs I come across in version 1.0 and 1.3, along with the suggested fixes for those that had them, or a "?? anyone know how to help??" for the ones that don't. I really think this mod deserves a chance to work properly, even if the developer has given up on it. Personally I think this one has great replayability, and I'd like to figure out how to get a stable version of it if I could.
For those of you diehards who keep playing BaW despite its many aggravations, please let me know what problems you've run into, and whether or not you've found a solution. I'd like to get as much feedback as possible by email, so I can condense all the bugs and fixes into one post to put on here that sums up all the known issues (instead of having to sift through 13+ pages of posts every time something comes up). Maybe when everything's listed in one place, we can start to figure out how to get this damned thing working right!!!!
Send me your bugs, errors, problems, grievances, issues, drama, and especially,
fixes:
pipergk1@live.com [nofollow]Thanks!
(Oh, and if RathOs is ever out there listening, let me just say that BaW definitely was NOT a failure!)
