BCT commander glitches under XP

I am sorry you are not enjoying the game.

If you look far enough back in these forums, you will find a number of disussions offering suggestions on scenario setup. But, ultimately, this is a sandbox game. We didn't lock you into any particular setup positions so that you can experiment at will. In that regard, as you pointed out, it is just like ATF.

As for the issues you described, they are architectural. They cannot be 100% corrected without starting from scratch, which we did when we built ATF. There are, as you mention, a number of easy work arounds.

I am sorry I can't be more helpful.

Thanks for the answer. Unfortunalely I can't afford ATF. Should've buyed this in the first place, but BCT was simply cheaper (but after trying the ATF demo, I must say it's definitely improved, although I also didn't get it completely, but with a manual, I'm sure ATF is better). I think I'll read the manual completely and try again, 'cause the tutorial scenario was fun (but I didn't manage to set up other scenarios yet). I wanna play this, but it's hard to get into.

I think I've figured out how to set up my troops now after trying a few other scenarios.
I've got a tip for all Win XP users that maybe also works under Win 7: Try compatibility mode (Windows 95), and disable visual styles etc. This causes the game to run full screen and lets the task bar disappear, which is great. Way better than fiddling around to remove it.
