[Hubert Cater]

The game already supports Spanish, as well as French and German :)

i helped a friend set up the game on his pc and used my matrix acct to log in to multiplayer to see if it works ok. We want to play each other so he will set up his own matrix acct to log in but how do i change his game from my login to his, i dont see any way to do that. Hope this makes sense.

[Hubert Cater]

If you navigate to your USER folder and open the sc3.ini file the login info can be edited from there. Typically this folder can be found here:

C:\Users\<username>\Documents\My Games\Strategic Command WWII - World at War

[woverkill]

thank you so much for the info on editing the ini file, works good. Now another issue regarding multiplayer. When i host a game, my friend tries to join, it asks him for a password, i didnt set one so he just hits enter and it says wrong challenge password. It also does this if you do create a password. Just wondering if doing something wrong or maybe a glitch? Game great otherwise, thank you!

Africa Coprs spawned in Northen Italy and not in Northern Africa - is it a bug?

[Hubert Cater]

This can depend on your selection for the Decision event, i.e. if you chose for the AK to spawn in Europe rather than North Africa, or if the spawn points in North Africa have been lost then Europe is the failsafe location.

Where can i change leangig sorry my english is terribel

Hi - no selction appeared for me for the AK - I could accept it or not. When accepting it it deploys near Venice
How can I get it to spawn in Northern Africa instead of having to transport them there?

[Bill Runacre]

The Decision Events for the Afrika Korps deploy it in Italy, and it then needs shipping to Africa.

This is so that the Allies can potentially interdict its journey, and also to prevent gamey moves by Allied players blocking its spawn points in North Africa, and preventing players from receiving all the units they should have done.

Some experienced Allied players who had studied the scripts far more than most people would do, were reported to be virtually suiciding units on occasions to get them adjacent to the spawn points at the crucial time. Thus depriving their opponents of all the units that they had spent MPPs on, and this change fixes that.

[Hubert Cater]

Yes of course, apologies as I forgot about this change from our previous release.

Someone can tell me how i can toggle on the convoy route in game....cause mine desapear....i didnt see any convoy routes.Tkx!

[Bill Runacre]

Hi

They should always appear*, in white if they are inactive and in blue or red if active (the colour depending on whether they are Axis or Allied convoys).

There are occasions where they can move in game, these movements being triggered by events and player decisions, but some should always be there.

One check could be to go to Wars Maps at the top of the screen, and then select Convoy Map. Hopefully this shows all the convoys?

*There is one exception, and that would be in a modded campaign where its designer hasn't updated all the scripts after making changes to the campaign.

Crash report. I got the message (something like this) Failed to update unit control) and crash to desktop. Situation. I had one carrier set to fighter. Another set to tactical. The tactical attacked an enemy carrier. The attack was intercepted and my other carrier escorted. I saw damage (i guess on the enemy intercepting air) and the enemy carrier retreated, then the crash.

[Hubert Cater]

Thanks for the report and could you tell me if the carriers were all in the open sea, or were any in port or along a coastal hex etc.?

This will help me to narrow it down.
