Units not moving on campain map
Hello!
I have enjoyed playing CoW for years, so today I bought the game since the copy I used to play got lost.
I'm now playing on a different computer with windows 8 and I can't seem to get the units to move on the campain map at all. I assign them to where I want them to go, and nothing happens, the hourglass comes on and the game freezes. Anyone else who has experienced this?
I really hope this can be fixed so I once again can enjoy a truly amazing game which I have not seen the like of since.

I have installed the extra 1.21 or something like that as said in another post. This does not fix the problem...
Re: Units not moving on campain map
Have you run the patched exe as an administrator?
Open the game installation folder. Locate and select a file named CoW_1.2.1.exe. Press the right mouse button and select Properties. Click on the Compatibility tab. Tick the option Run this program as an administrator. Click on Apply and Ok. Double click on CoW_1.2.1.exe for running the game.

Re: Units not moving on campain map
Hello Delle,
Is the game currently installed to Program Files? If so, please can you try uninstalling the game and reinstall to a folder outside of C:\\Program file, e.g. to C:\\Slitherine and see if the issue persists.

Re: Units not moving on campain map
Hello !
I have the same problem. But change the game folder name or its location do not solve the issue.
Can you help me please ?

Re: Units not moving on campain map
Try the following:
Open the folder where you've installed the game. Locate and select a file named “CoW.exe".
Press the right mouse button and select "Properties". Click on the "Compatibility" tab.
Tick the option "Run this program as an administrator".
Click on "Apply" and "Ok". Double click on "CoW.exe" to run the program.
If the issue persists, then I'm afraid I'm out of ideas.

Re: Units not moving on campain map
Thanks for your help, but the problem is still there.
If you or other have something to purpose, don't hesitate.
If not, is it possible to be refunded ?

Re: Units not moving on campain map
have you asked for a support ticket?
as we are here to support, if you still are having an issue with the game, please open a new tech support posts with a report of your pc thanks,.
How to get a DirectX Diagnostic file:
1. click on "START"
2. click "run"
3. type in "dxdiag" and click "OK"
4. check through the tabs and perform all tests
5. click "Save all Information..." and save the text file to a location of your choice
We prefer that DxDiag files be posted as message attachments rather than pasted into the body of the post.
once the report has been made, just attach it to your post with first adding the file to a zip, which is then permitted to attach to the forum
and we will try and look a bit deeper and see if it's something we can fix or sort out for you, unless it's a hardware or software issue on your end, which we hopefully will be able to tell with a report or more information asked etc...

Re: Units not moving on campain map
I'm having this same issue Which is really sad because I love this gem. Worked fine on my old pc, but now I can't move units. The game freezes with an hourglass symbol when I try to move any units,
Windows 10, using the 1.2.1 patch and the game is not on my main windows partition.
Anyone have a solution to this? I have tried run as administrator and various compatibility modes.
