#1: Help!! Panicking!! Can't Play Author: Doodlebug, Posted: Sun Nov 16, 2008 6:17 am Hi Guys,
I figured this would be the best place to try out this cry for help
I downloaded WaR and the patch as well. I installed them both, even monkeying with my virus protection settings like they told me to during installation. But when i click to play, i get a "Close Combat Error" It simply says: "not available"
What gives? Has anybody seen this issue before? I cannot imagine what the problem would be. Someone please tell me if they've seen this. I 'd be very grateful for the help.
Yours,
Doodlebug

WAR needs directdraw enabled...unlike CC5.
Check your direct X settings.

What version of DirectX? It requires DirectX 9.0c.
Have you tried going to the game directory and clicking on the CCE.exe? Maybe it is a path issue with the short cut the icons have....

Off to playing (and getting spotted from way too far away by the Germans (
BTW, Squadleader - thankyou for finally bringing the Gurkhas to CC. I can't wait.
