Yes please :) We do have the second screenshot, though.

Not quite sure how to remove the fog, I don't think there is a way, but could you upload the first image to our gallery? I'd like the chance to put that on the homepage slideshow :)

Make sure to let us know if this helps the crashes @Achilleslastand, it may be useful for future reference! :)

That's good news - I've added you in. :)

Great - added you both to the list, hope you can make it bradley :) That's a good idea EaglePrince, it will make for a good battle indeed!

You can unsubscribe from posts here on the forum by clicking the "You are currently subscribed to this topic - Unsubscribe" link at the bottom of viewing a topic. Maybe a separate option could be better, I'll think about it.

The maps that are already posted you'll have to go on and click the "subscribe to file" link (which is above the minimap when viewing a file). Not exactly the best way to do it but better than nothing I suppose, if you like I could attempt a manual database query for you if I know what files you want to be subscribed to. If you change the option I posted above in your profile then you will be automatically subscribed for any new files you add, otherwise you'll have to manually subscribe yourself to them as well.

Well, it's been a while - and even though SHC2 is the newest, not all of us have that yet. So, in order to accommodate the players without SHC2 as of now (such as , [user]bradley0095[/user], [user]Charles of tours].etc) I've decided we all have SH2 in common - so why not give that a go! :)

File subscribing now works in the download central! You can choose to automatically subscribe by checking the "Automatically subscribe to every topic you post in." option in the privacy section of your profile. When adding a comment you now get the choice of checking the subscribe icon which will subscribe you to that topic - but you don't need to reply just to subscribe, there is an option on the file to do so too. Subscribing works in the same way as the forums; you'll be notified of any new posts to that fie by email. Also note by subscribing to category X, you will not get subscribed to all files in that category - just the category itself. If you would like to know what people say about your maps, I would strongly recommend subscribing to your files because otherwise you will not get notified unless you check when you're online - though the navigation there is getting better slowly, it still can be hard and isn't as easy to see new posts as the forum.

I've emailed PCDania and he says the following may help: As he points out, the anti-virus programs may be interfering with them. I have Windows 8, Windows Defender and Malware Bytes Pro installed. Does anyone have anything different to the default antivirus/malware programs installed?

So this is an official contest from Firefly?

Well, thanks again everyone! And thanks for the good words about the site Mathew. I'm not finished yet, so any more features you have in mind just let us know in the site questions/support forum :)

Welcome aboard! :)

Can you please tell him to forward the email to lordchris [at] stronghold-nation.com and I'll investigate? EDIT: He's also contacted the site through the main support system. Thanks for bringing this to my attention anyway @EaglePrince.

Well - it's wonderful to hear such a positive message! At least I know I'm doing something right then! :cool: I couldn't have done any of it without all your help though - you're the people who bring the site alive, day and night. Without all you, SHN would be just like HG. A thank you to you too! :)

Monitor resolutions (or screen resolutions for that matter) can often make a game crash, they've done it many a time with SH1 that I've seen on the firefly forum, maybe @Nigel could be on to something there. I've had one crash, which was today - after the end of testing @Micha!'s map. So if crashes are re-occurring, it's because of one of three things: hardware incompatibility game instability Something has been altered somewhere - just like the save-to-map trick corrupted files in Stronghold 2 which often caused a lot of crashes, something must be altered. I'm not sure whether steam modified the registry, if so it may be worthwhile taking a look only to see if anything has happened there. We could test the hardware compatibility issue by changing things such as your monitor resolution. The other two aren't really in our control.

*should* now be slightly quicker.

A very good map indeed once again - thanks for uploading it to us, and sorry about the long wait in approval, we're fairly behind at the moment :) http://www.stronghold-nation.com/downloads/file/199-crac-des-chevaliers-1vs1/

Have you tried to verify your steam cache as @Charles of Tours mentioned? This may help with any corrupt or missing files, and if it's happening a lot I'd say this is likely the case somehow. Apart from the fact you mention it happens a lot, can you tie it down to any specifics? I.E. Whenever you play a custom map, or whenever you build a church.etc Legends used to (and still does) freeze crash the game when the guard button is pressed during multiplayer, maybe a similar bug lives inside SHC2 yet to be found. Looking at your specs I'd say I doubt it's a hardware compatibility issue.

The convenient thing about Google + for me, is that it's connected directly to my personal email, and I'm always logged into that so I don't have to re-log in to post anything (the laziness of it :D ) There will be a couple of days toward the end of the month where we will need to use something, I'll see how that goes and change depending on how easy it goes with passing on info - don't forget we have a Facebook account also though.

You're referring to users in groups such as this one, right? http://forums.stronghold-nation.com/userlist/?username=&show_group=25&sort_by=username&sort_dir=ASC&search=Submit If so, I'll just change it to the same colour as other members. If it's the main members group colour that's the problem, then I'll try to find a slightly better colour for it. I have tried in the past with yellow before the ranks system came into place, maybe it was the shade of yellow I tried, but it wasn't very good on your eyes - in fact that was the same reason the contributors group colour was also changed to what @EaglePrince has now. EDIT: Probably just realised that you meant pages such as this one: http://www.stronghold-nation.com/games/stronghold-1/ as it is pretty hard to read. Thanks for the heads-up, I'll try to find a better colour for that. If anyone has any other shades of colours in mind please let me know :)

Well, thanks for the addition to the background, and welcome to the site! :) That useful info is certainly worth a rep point from me ;)

The game is made with a different engine - just like SH3, it's a pre-built one (I think) so there may not be much choice in the actual game options.

Good tip - thanks! :)

Wow, it really seems like this thing is quite troublesome, what OS do you have ? If it's different to [user]lord vetka] then is it really that likely to be in the same place? Just thinking also, could you have deleted the (un)installer at some point? I know this is probably going to the extreme now, but...
