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

Looks to me like direct X problems.
WAR needs directdraw enabled...unlike CC5.
Check your direct X settings.

Type "dxdiag" into the run box or "C:\WINDOWS\system32\dxdiag.exe".

What OS are you using? If Vista you might have to change your permissions.

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....

Thankyou all for your quick and helpful help. I got it worked out - the dxdiag thing was the solution.

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.
