Excellent news andrey and fast too I might add Not trying to sound ungreatfull, your efforts in getting this patch out so quickly to us says allot to all of us, but did you find the cause with the AI shooting through solid objects, is it in this patch?

It worked fine before and now continues to operate normally. It's just that the inertia of AI vision (he remembers the target for some time) and can fire through walls or barrier.

Just some of the obstacles does not lead to the triggering of the shell fuse. Or are not destroyed by a single penetration, they penetrates by the shell (and maybe with later fuse works). As in real life.
It deals with a number of fences, huts and all dilapidated structures.

Ah, OK. I always just saw it referred to as the 001 bug.

I've had some 001 errors since I patched.

Happened when changing to Commander from Gunner and another when switching between tanks. Left Control + LMB.

Both in F3 view.


I'm slowly learning the game and getting to enjoy the battles.
When the last crash happened my tanks had been tracked by a dug in AT platoon but I had another three flanking the enemy infantry and looked like I might get away with it. I was watching progress when... 001!

I had the 001 error switching from the driver interior view to F3.

Installed both updates:
gte2_core_update_v577_eng.exe
mtc80_sabow_patch_beta2(jan12_eng).exe

Still getting the black screen when I launch the operation editor.

The test_campaign_name.engcfg2(I created) has polygons pointed to: polygons\2T_Taranovka\2T_Taranovka.cfgpack
I manually edited this to polygons\H_Helmand\H_Helmand.cfgpack, still get the black screen when I try to use the operation editor.

After patch is released (not beta) I do and upload manual in English (how to create operation with all aspects highlighted) and example of operation.

Hi,

Ihave the german edition of the game.
I have Installed both updates after a fresh installation of the game with no older player profiles ingame:
gte2_core_update_v577_eng.exe
mtc80_sabow_patch_beta2(jan12_eng).exe


No problem, but ingame if i select a campaign i dont see on the next screen
any icons of troops,tanks etc. on the map.
And if i press on the "watch" symbol for "next round" crashes the game with the 001 message.
The only things that works is to build own missions.


Without this beta patch the game works fine.
Is this patch maybe only for english versions of Blaze of War?

Thanks in advance

Sorry, but foreign publisher not contacted with us (and Russian too). This pathces unofficial, we do on their own initiative. German hard for us to translate them, because we have no one knows him.

Hard to say what will happen to the German version. May come to its senses and publisher somehow contribute to the localization of patches.

There was a way to convert the the german version into a english version, then the patch should work.

Thank you both for answering.
I think i will buy the english version too.
It si important to support such games. Keep up the good work.

I have searched a little bit, but have not found something in this direction.
If you know where, i would really appreciate it.

Theres alot of files that have you have to generate in order to really use it. This one is just the unflatten camp, but it works.
