See step 5 I found mouse unresponsive and suggest my solve

I find that if I go into options after hitting escape then return to game I have control. Not sure why. I play in hard core mode also

new info above

compilation of user and developer provided hacks etc for installing and playing CTA Steam 1.017.0 with DCG CTA 5.0

1) before setting up DCG CTA 5.0 change map_full.pak to map_basic.pak in mods/campaign/xml/settings.xml

2) before setting up DCG CTA 5.0 start a game in CTA and save it I use campaign.sav, then go to documents/my games/call to arms/profiles/357865068/save/ and using I suggest 7-zip(free) extract campaign.save to same name folder. This new folder becomes the save folder for DCG in settings. Your profile # may/will be different.

3) you must have purchased and installed CTA Basic Game Steam $15, I haven't tried any other purchased CTA games.

4) run DCG setup after doing 1 -3 add MOD from workshop(i used this method, may be other) select dcg game and play. when finished save game as campaign from #2. Then as in #2 extract campaign.sav to campaign save folder from #2 while DCG is running. if everything works DCG will have gone into the campaign reults screen

5) I found my mouse unresponsive at beginning of game, it freed up once I went to CTA settings screen and went back to game. Mouse started responding.

6) I like to modify the load outs for vehicles so I go to the installed game, extract the largest pak file in game resources file then move that resulting folder to the resources proper folder in DCG CTA 5.0 I now have access to all def files to change load outs. use entity.pak in CTA resources/entity/ folder

Hope these helps let me know if you find anyother work arounds until the DCG crew can get around to fixing these quirks.

thanks to everbody who suggested these hacks etc.

enjoy

I am playing mow:as

I have narrowed it down to one map it contains two bodies of water in the near center of the map one larger than the other. Every time it is selected in a campaign the game crashes as soon as I hit space bar to start battle.

I originally thought it was associated with the 15th panzer but isn't. I saved two screen prints of the "exception error" message.

I love DCG, I have become a hermit in my home office with my headset on. Can't stop playing it.

I am in the Sicily campaign from Afrika and even after adding the 4.0 patch I get consistet crashes seems to always involve the 15 pz. I have two of the many error messages saved to a word doxc. Let me know where to send them.
