RE: cannot get game to start
Ekaranik - both A & B are the same above. Am I missing something or is it a typo?

Apologies ... what I meant was ...
Case A) jre\bin\java -Xss30m -Xms300m -Xmx600m CNAW did not work, gave same error as mentioned before.
Case B) jre\bin\java -Xss30m -Xms300m -Xmx600m -classpath . CNAW worked and the game ran ok.

No, it's best not to make assumptions based on a single tech support thread. This works out of the box on the vast majority of systems without needing any tweaks or tech support.

RE: cannot get game to start
Thanks for the reply. Can you tell me if the patches affect any of the smaller scenario's, or are they directed at the campaign game?

I can verify that, although I had to have a long chat with my AVS before I found a solution. Morman AV doesn't like W32/W.B.

RE: cannot get game to start
Some changes are scenario specific but many effect game rules or general behaviour so apply to all.

You mean Ian and Firepowerjohan don't have all the answers? My.my,my.
Too bad you waited for my review, you wouldn't have bought the game. Ask Matrix for credit toward Napoleon's campaigns. My copy of CNAW started fine. Sorry I can't be more help.

RE: cannot get game to start
Thanks for your valuable input Jim, but unfortunately it misses the point again.
Jon, there seems to be some problems with the certain machines running the Matrix version from some of the shortcuts. Erik is investigating but as they can't repeat it it's not that simple for them to locate. Can you try running the game from the start menu shortcut instead of the autorun pop up box and see if that helps. It seems to be related to the installer rather than the game. Ekaranik has found a potential work around, see above, but it requires you to type some commands in to a dos box. I understand if you're not comfortable doing that and as soon as it's resolved I'm sure Matrix will release a patch to fix it.

RE: cannot get game to start
Jon,
Please try the "Quick Start" shortcut in your Start menu folder for CNAW instead of going through the Game Menu and see if that helps. If that doesn't work, you may need to try the manual shortcut procedure above (let us know if you need help with that).
Regards,
- Erik

We have made a change to the shortcut and game menu that should fix the problem and will hopefully be available with the next patch.

Meaning neither the game menu nor the quick start shortcut works for you still?
