Expanding Fronts is a massive modification for Star Wars Galactic Battlegrounds aimed to breathe life back into the classic LucasArts strategy game by adding various new units, features, and gameplay elements. Each of the 8 civilizations are being reworked and enhanced to make each feel more unique and authentic to the universe, while maintaining the classic Battlegrounds gameplay. In addition, the Scenario Editor is being filled with hundreds of new units, buildings, effects, triggers, and objects to allow campaign and scenario designers more freedom than ever before.

Description

A new update for Expanding Fronts is available, which should address the problems players have been experiencing with AI, among other performance issues. This patch also restores many missing icons, and adds some additional new content.

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.

Deselect the 'Window Mode' option beneath the resolution list in the configuration tool. The main menu may appear in a window regardless.

check the 'Enable Resolution patch' box and select your desired resolution. The menus may not be affected by this.

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.

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?

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?

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.

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.
