Did you change the game we were playing to a JTS game it won't work with a HPS game.
Clifton, I am sorry that I did not reply to this sooner, as I misunderstood what you were asking of whom. I did post a reply to one of the other threads - if you have the HPS version of a title, don't ever try to apply an update for the JTS version as one of the things that it might do would be to convert the HPS version to the JTS version -which causes a problem, in that the JTS version will all of a sudden want a serial number from you -which you won't have.
As an aside there is at least one issue with the JTS version's campaigns -basically it looks like one of the campaigns got duplicated and overlaid another campaign (this is in the update being tested). I don't know that they will put out an HPS version for testing until whatever it was that did that in the JTS version gets corrected. It doesn't look like it ever impacted the HPS version however I imagine that they are wanting to check that out in order to make sure. So it probably won't be out as quickly as Wagram was. Fwiw I did not find anything else with Jena -so hopefully if will be out soon -even so you may not want to use that in competitive play since the point of testing it is to make sure there are no issues. Some things that have happened in the past with other titles (probably won't happen with this one since it applied more to titles where scenarios were reworked -and that I don't think is the case with Bill's titles- he looks to have done this earlier iirc)... artillery would not fire (caused by pointing OOB weapons to a line on the weapons.dat file that I think got deleted by accident -effectively meaning that the weapon code in the OOB file did not exist any longer ... things like this is something that you don't want to be dealing with in an ongoing game ... so if it were me I would not apply a test version, in any case, to a title where I had an ongoing match -just to be on the safe side.
