Join the Beta Tournament

[ledrobi]

Strategic Command WWII: World at War joins the list of games which support a tournament system and we’re now ready to start our first tournament. It’s the first game ever in the franchise with tournament support. The tournament will be using the 1939 World at War campaign map.

The Tournament will begin on November 30th and it will last 2 rounds, each lasting two weeks.

All you need to do is own the game and sign up here[www.matrixgames.com]. The system will then pair you with opponents and create your PBEM games for you. You will be notified by mail of when the tournament is starting and when it will be time to play your turns.

It is a Beta tournament so there might be bugs. If you encounter any, please report them in this thread and we will address them.

Have fun and good luck!

Yes, the answer was overwhelming, and being a beta tournament we need it to be small. We will definitely open more slots in future tournaments. Hope to see you next time :)

Received notification of my first turn. Got an error while unpacking. "Could not find 195667.dat" Running v1.08.01 through steam. Challenge ID: 212630

Hi Liverpoolpacket,

Not sure why this error is cropping up, it didn't come up during testing, but I have an idea on what might have happened here.

Either way, sorry to hear this happened to you and it can be resolved by doing the following:

1) Please navigate to the following folder and then make a copy of the '1939-45 Race to Victory.dat' file:

C:\Users\<username>\AppData\Local\My Games\Strategic Command WWII - World at War\PBEM++\DAT\v1.08.01


2) Then navigate to the following folder and place it there:

C:\Users\<username>\AppData\Local\My Games\Strategic Command WWII - World at War\PBEM++\<matrixusername>


3) Rename this file to the missing dat file name, e.g. 195667.dat in your case. The game should run fine after that.


Hope this helps,
Hubert

Could not find file error - Fixed - Thanks for the help

Hi I am getting an error "Could not find 195674.dat" similar to the other person but the above fix didn't work for me. What info do you need to troubleshoot it?

I figured it out and the above fix did work for me too.

[Hubert Cater]

Sorry to hear about the trouble, but glad to hear you got it working :)

Perhaps the email simply hasn't gotten through. One thing you can try is check your spam folders, and failing that simply launch the game, go to the PBEM++ Lobby and see if the Tournament button has appeared. If it has, you can click on that and start playing any listed games that are shown in GREEN.
