Asia Week - Modern Campaigns & Panzer Campaigns 4.04 Updates

Hi All,

We are continuing to update the Modern & Panzer Campaigns series to version 4.04.


This week we move our focus to Asia. Following on from the recent European and Middle East ‘67 upgrades we are releasing a further two Modern Campaigns and three Panzer Campaigns titles with the new 4.04 version. This is the same version as the recently released title, Panzer Campaigns: Spring Awakening ’45 and our games of the week, Panzer Campaigns: Sealion ‘40, Modern Campaigns: Middle East ‘67 and last week’s Cold War in Europe – Modern Campaign titles.

The five titles updated today are Modern Campaigns: Korea ‘85, Modern Campaigns: Quang Tri ’72, and Panzer Campaigns: Philippines ’44 , Panzer Campaigns: Japan ’45 and Panzer Campaigns: Japan ’46.

 

Please note, these are full installation builds. The reason for this is to align to the upgrades we started to release back in March here. There is no patch from the prior version available. If you already have a copy of any of these five titles, the latest game build should be available now in your store account on the WDS website. You will have to uninstall any existing versions and then install the latest to be up to date. If you already own the Quang Tri ‘72 Demo, there is no need to order a new copy, the new version in your store account will work with your existing key.

With the move to version 4.04, here are the following changes beyond version 4.03:

Full Release

Bug Fixes

  • Fixed a crash due to registry setting for the classic toolbar (which no longer exists).
  • Prevent Windows 11 CTD by replacing MCI audio with DirectSound on the Splash Screen.
  • Fixed a crash to desktop and game corruption when playing Network Direct Play.
  • Fixed a rare crash to desktop when Auto-Save was not selected.

Enhancements

  • Units are not penalised with night fatigue when moving by rail.
  • Dynamic NATO counter drawing on the Hex Info display. This is the same as the Panzer Battles implementation and the NATO counter on the unit card will highlight when appropriate.
  • New unit boxes to improve legibility of text.
  • New Unit box Back image to improve legibility of text.

We expect to follow-up these five Asian titles with further games very soon.

Here are a few sample screen shots:

    Big thanks to Rich! For some reason my downloads of Japan 45 & 46 weren’t showing in my account. I emailed this to the support address last night and this morning he emailed that all was fixed,,, and it was!

    Excellent support, excellent selections of historical periods, campaigns, battles, etc., and a good engine that’s constantly updated. I can’t ask for better than that. Thanks Rich, thanks WDS!

    Dynamic NATO counter drawing on the Hex Info display. This is the same as the Panzer Battles implementation and the NATO counter on the unit card will highlight when appropriate.

    Sorry but I’ve no idea what this means? Can you explain or illustrate this?
