Entranchment - small map only?

http://img6.imageshack.us/img6/247/sosee.jpg

Hey,

 

everytime I launch Entranchment extension, I only have the choice with a small random map 2 players. Is this normal? or did I miss something? (need to do something)

I've been looking on boards and else but I cannot seem to find anything about this issue

 

check  the extrenal link to  see what iis on my screen when launching a new game

there should be a list of maps to the left of the picture & description. BTW sins NEEDS 1024 x 768 resolution display settings and I have no idea why you are having the problem. it might be a good idea to email support at ironcladgames.com and ask for help

1024x768?  why is that? I play at 1680x1050 and works fine (in small map ofc)

he meant it has a minimum of 1024x768.

Try validating your sins install in impulse.

There is a button to cycle through the map sizes (small, medium and large etc...)

It should be at the bottom of the list of maps when creating a game

I have the exact same problem. The map list isn't there, exept for the mangled scroll bar. You can still select the small maps by scrolling with the arrow keys up and down, but changing to medium or large maps doesn't seem to work  :-(

However, I encountered this problem after updating from Sins 1.15 to 1.16 (just a few megabytes) without also upgrading Entrenchment from 1.01 to 1.02 (100+ megabytes, I only have a dial up connection). Thought it was related to that fact. Validating and/or updating both Sins and Entrenchment to the latest version seems like a good idea :-)

Bravenue,

 

your advice already helped. In fact you can tab. When it looks like the "selection" disappears, it's in fact on the map size

Press enter and you can change the size of the map

 

I will try to reinstall Entanchment as soon as I find a reliable internet to see if the problem is with the installation and let you know

I am glad that you are able to work arount the problem, and bravenue's suggestion of verifying the installation is a good one, but if it does not work the next step would be to email support at ironcladgames.com as this sort of thing should not happen.

Is it on the developer side of original sins, cause I am having that poblem because of the latest update and ironclad hasn't updated the devleoper yet so it is like that

and the developer on entrenchment won't work also

I am currently in contact with helpdesk

so far:

It would seem that the user interface layout values are not being interpreted correctly. Are you running WindowBlinds or any kind of desktop customization software?

 

In my case it isn't the issue though

It is probably the developer, it is messed up because they changed the galaxy folders and so messed up developer
