Strange. That's not an error that I find common.
Are you sure you've followed all the steps right?
Sounds like the VGPU's fukt.

i can't even tell if i'm having a problem or not, all i've done is play the tutorial, and right away the first thing it instructs me to do is select a character and then drag a box to select multiple characters. that works fine. but after that the next thing it tells me to do i believe is look at the unit card for the selected character, well there is none, i can't find one, and then i'm just stuck, is this a problem with the game or am i missing something.

Hi VOX3L! THank you very much for these informations. However, where did you get the right Windows XP for Windows 10? I cannot find any correct links related to this.

Thank you for answering,

Hello, you can try this as well if all above doesn't work for you.
