The patch fixed pretty much everything except for the crash that happens after about an hour or so. Kudos to these guys for making this mod! Look forward to your future content.
By the way, love the new content for the Scenario Editor. I did, however, find a glitch with this Imperial Cargo Transport when I loaded my troops in it. It showed its side overlapping with the animations of the sprite itself.
Thanks for bringing 768 resolutions to the configurator! Now I can play in widescreen :)
same problem. Nothing happens when you run. To run on another pc win 7, everything worked. I start to win 8.1, nothing happens.
Sorry for my English))
WOW The new scenario is F@CKING AMAZING!
Thanks!
How do I get the game into fullscreen? I've tried as much as I can and there are no guides on how to do it. Its starting to **** me off.
Deselect the 'Window Mode' option beneath the resolution list in the configuration tool. The main menu may appear in a window regardless.
Heh. I meant Wide screen, sorry. A **** up on my end. Do you know how to get it into Wide screen?
check the 'Enable Resolution patch' box and select your desired resolution. The menus may not be affected by this.
I tried that first thing when I downloaded the mod, however I get an error screen saying " Resolutions lower than 1024V are not supported ". Also thanks for taking the time to try and help your fans :)
That problem should be fixed by this patch.
Really? I must of downloaded it wrong somehow...
I just reinstalled the patch and that seemed to fix everything, thanks for the help!
Sadly didn't fix my problem.
I am able to run version 1.0 perfectly fine but 1.1 and this recent patch (which I was hoping would fix this problem) won't run at all for me.
I click the .exe in the folder and I get "- has stopped working" regardless of running in administrator, switching capability and so on. I'm kind of at a loss here. I don't know if anyone else is getting the same or if this is just me.
Running via steam and using windows 7 with a 1680x1050 resolution.
I was having the same problem. I got my version of GBG's on steam, all I had to do was verify the integrity of game cache. ( Side Note: Some antivirus's will mistake Player.EXE for a Trojan. This is a false positive, don't worry.
ERROR
The verify did repair something but it is still giving me the error.
any changes about the random freezes some are experiencing?
Yes
but it will lag a little if you put a disk in while playing
it will not lag while its in only for 25 seconds or something
My Deathtroopers have the same stats,but i download the patch.The new units no appear?
I have a problem when I play my window appears cut, I can only see the units and the menu appears cutted almost completely, what can I do? My monitor is 1920x1080p and I have the resolution patch enabled

I'm getting same issue.
So i open the installer, enter my game path (C:\Steam\steamapps\common\STAR WARS - Galactic Battlegrounds Saga) and it says invalid game path. What am i doing wrong?
I installed the patch in two different computers. The icons of "aggressive" "defensive" "stand" and "don't attack" as well as the formation icons do not show in one of the computers. In the other one it works perfectly. Both are Windows 7 64 bit processor. What can I do?
Press the "+" button next to the minimap to activate the advanced command menu.

Game path error when installing the 1.1.1 patch/not found. What is going on here?!
I installed the patch , and then all the EF units and buildings were gone.....
Overall I like everything because they all seem to be nicely done. But I have one problem or maybe two. First I can't find the configurator. It's nowhere. And I can't play the custom campaign too :( Any help?
I open the game and it gives me and error saying 'cannot load efpatch.dll. Check installation integrity' do you know why I am getting this error?
Is it at all possible to add a General Grievous hero and/or Ahsoka Tano hero for the Confederacy and Republic? They are just two things i feel need to be there.
is anyone have problems with sound? I am experiencing no music in game but in the menus I can hear it and also when I select units at times there is no sound for them as well
you need the disk version so that means you have the GOG Or the Steam version
Have the disk version, and same problem, theres no music.
Did these things in order; Installed CD game, installed Mod, Installed patch.
EDIT:: Looked around and discovered that the music files that usually play from CD were deleted, its possible that the mod or the patch deleted them.
i cant install the game... :c
hey im just reporting a bug and its that the imperial pilot has a graphics issue i think it was when he was shooting while looking away from the cam
periodic lag and no music
also trade federation troop transport could not pass trough gate. checked and gate was open.
Can the computer ai do up to 1000 pop or only 250?
i was wondering if there was a list of AI/Per file commands that was added into this mod. i would like to update my ai files for compatibility with this mod.
i've notice the computer AI does not make farms? for some reason.

Well I tried the mod and loved it but suddenly, it gave me a direct draw erro not being able to initialize and then when I restarted my PC it didnt load the mod, just plain GBG-CC
Ok so I restarted my PC and quit the compatibility options on windows. I managed once more to play. Will report if anything else happens. It seems I just needed to restart my video drivers.
