Hmm...can't install the expansion.
Von Paulus replied to Siggi's topic in WOFF UE/PE - General Discussion
I don't know how to answer it. But I'm glad now at last the expansion is working. Now I'll play it. -

Well like I've told it before my pagefile is fixed. The initial and the maximum size is 3071 and not 4606 as it is recommended. The system didn't held the 4606 value so I reduce it. It has been working well AFAIK. My RAM is 4GB. -

I doubt it. It's zipped. If it was corrupted you couldn't have unzippped it. -

If I were you I would do exactly what you've suggested in your first post. Copy to C and then copy again to D. I'd alter then the registry manually to D again. I've been looking for ascii "OBDSoftware" (which is part of the folder name whre my off is installed) and found nothing important on the files. So theoretically the only information where OFF is installed is the really the registry. -

The installer must get the information (I suppose) where OFF is installed from the registry. If the paths are correct in the registry... that lefts me puzzled. Try to look in the registry for more entries for offmanager.exe for example. -

My Win7 pagefile is fixed and is on C. Look at the registry: HKEY_CURRENT_USER\Software\VB and VBA Program Settings\OFFManager HKEY_USERS\S-1-5-21-1060284298-1788223648-725345543-1003\Software\VB and VBA Program Settings\OFFManager HKEY_CURRENT_USER\Software\OBD Software\Over Flanders Fields HKEY_LOCAL_MACHINE\SOFTWARE\Microsoft\Windows\CurrentVersion\Uninstall\OFF_P3_is1 HKEY_USERS\S-1-5-21-1060284298-1788223648-725345543-1003\Software\OBD Software\Over Flanders Fields These seems the place where the registry helds the information where OFF is installed. I took it from XP but tree must be the same as in Win7. By the way all went well also with XP. it installed correctly in D. -

Von Paulus replied to Siggi's topic in WOFF UE/PE - General Discussion
I'm sorry to say this Siggi but all went well. I've installed from my storage drive F and installed it correctly in D. My Win7 is in G. I can do another experiment. I'll switch to my XP whic is on C and try if it installs correctly on D. It will be just a couple of minutes. Hang on. -

Vote for your favourite sim
Von Paulus replied to Gremlin_WoH's topic in WOFF UE/PE - General Discussion
Actually I felt divided. I felt like a parent which has too choose between his children. I really love ARMA II. In the end I vote OFF only because I've spent more time overall and because we are so few comparing. That reminded me: "We few, we happy few, we band of brothers; For he to-day that sheds his blood with me Shall be my brother; be he ne'er so vile, This day shall gentle his condition: And gentlemen in England now a-bed Shall think themselves accursed they were not here, And hold their manhoods cheap whiles any speaks That fought with us upon Saint Crispin's day" -
Works good in Win7. Not a bad joystick for the price, though I hate the green led which is always on when you use the stick. I'm not sure how long it will resist. It's not a Microsoft Sidewinder that I can tell. But nothings is like a Sidewinder in terms of resistance.

Happy Birthday.

Movie and Book to occupy my time
Von Paulus replied to Check Six's topic in WOFF UE/PE - General Discussion
The look of the Turkish Officer at the end of that scene, after re-watching it when I was already an adult, left me with no doubts what was going to happen next in the movie. I've a copy of the "Seven Pillars" but I haven't read it yet. It's among a huge pile of WWI related books waiting to be read. If I may, I'd like to left here a suggestion for WWI reading: "The Price of Glory" from Alistair Horne and last but not the least "The First Day on the Somme" by Martin Middlebrook. Two classical WWI books, that in my case, expect a full re-reading. http://www.amazon.co.uk/Price-Glory-Verdun-Penguin-History/dp/0140170413/ref=sr_1_2?ie=UTF8&s=books&qid=1260462229&sr=8-2 http://www.amazon.co.uk/First-Day-Somme-Penguin-History/dp/0140171347/ref=sr_1_1?ie=UTF8&s=books&qid=1260462362&sr=1-1 I order for Christmas "Falling Aces" from Peter Hart and am looking, maybe my next acquisition, to "The Somme" by the same author. -

Movie and Book to occupy my time
Von Paulus replied to Check Six's topic in WOFF UE/PE - General Discussion
I find most pictures of WWI haunting one way or another. The theme itself has been haunting me since I was a little kid and saw the BBC Documentary series "The Great War". That and the "World at War" and witnessing on the TV such events like the farewell of Portuguese soldiers fighting in the Portuguese Colonial War, have marked me in a permanent way. I don't play games for the pleasure of competition or I don't even found much of myself on the hunter/hunted role. First in general I only play games that offer me some degree of immersion. What I'm looking is more an "extension" of what I read in the books or what I see in the movies or the TV. I'm notsaying that sometimes I don't find myself thrilled with the competition. But that's not my basic motto. -
Welcome Speedy.

Another Read for this Winter
Von Paulus replied to Rooster89's topic in WOFF UE/PE - General Discussion
Thanks! -
Interesting. ATI without Triple Buffering produces the same triangles only they are white. I'll try forcing Triple Buffering on Direct3D and sees if there is any difference. Theoretically it will be worst. These white/blue triangles is caused by the lack of speed in downloading textures on the graphic card (I think).

When the devs says Two weeks that means it will be released when it is ready. My guess is that will be released before Christmas. The devs want to give us a special gift. Actually was Oleg Maddox who invented this Two weeks thing or it's older?

Most of the times I've been playing without the compatibility XP checked and never had any problems so far. I run with only "Run as Admnistrator" checked. What I've been noticing is when I check the compatibility tab on the campaign/mission loads slower. Does anybody with Win7 feels the same? In a certain way it makes sense that the compatibility mode can slow down the access to the HD, and that can be one of the causes for the stuttering that some people report.

Thanks. Nice screens. Really expecting this addon.

Windows 7 - 64 bit compatibility with OFF
Von Paulus replied to rafvr's topic in WOFF UE/PE - General Discussion
... and "Run as Administrator" ticked in both OFFmanager.exe and cfs3.exe?
