tanks stops moving

Hello djsatane,

My video card is a NVIDIA GEForce 8600 GT.

I am unable to capture the screen using the SYSRQ key. I've removed Snagit and still am not able to capture the screen. I'll spend some time looking into this. Is there another way to capture screen shots using Steam?

Aside from this hiccup and the considerable lag times, I'm quite pleased with this game.

Thanks,

Ian

Hello djsatane,

My graphics card is a NVidia GeForce 8600 GT.

You can see a screen capture of a tank that does not move at:
http://s1259.photobucket.com/albums/ii546/i00b/

The tank has a yellow circle around it to indicate that it has been selected but the mouse cursor is a red 'X' instead of the mouse cursor that is the animated 4 inward pointing arrow mouse. I have placed a red circle around the mouse cursor that is a red 'X'.

I've been getting a feel for the game and several days to play through a single mission. I have a feeling the length of a mission is related to the tank not moving. I have just noted that the problem of tanks not moving appears to affect mainly the media tank Pzkpfw III Ausf.J. but have found it also occurs with the Sherman.

Thanks

Hello djsatane,

I've got the file save ready in a ZIP file along with a screen capture.

In the ZIP file, the screen capture file is named 'error.png'. Both tanks highlighted in blue can no longer be moved. The one on the left has been selected (i.e. has a yellow circle around it) and the mouse cursor (highlighted in white) is a red 'X'.

I am quite curious to understand why this is occurring.

Thanks,

Hello djsatane,

I just realized why the tanks stopped moving and...I feel pretty foolish...they ran out of gas. I misunderstood (i.e. reversed) the gas symbols as well as did not realize the progress bar in the tank statistics window was the gas gauge. On the bright side, I've learned a bit more about MOW-AS and am really beginning to appreciate just how good this game is.

Thank you for responding to my request for support and I apologize for having made such a simple mistake.
