There's a whole slew of new stuff cooking for Pro Deo et Rege over at TWC, feel free to check us out its Hosted Forum (http://www.twcenter.net/forums/forumdisplay.php?f=437) there.

@socal_infidel,

I´m stuck and in need of assistance m8. DL PDER 1.0 king.edit plus the patch, installed it and did all the unpacking etc stated in your thread at . Started the game up - no sound and the game freezes when I try and start a campaign so I went back to the boards trying to find a solution. I found a eng.sound file and dl:ed it, installed, sound is working fine BUT when I try and start a grand campaign the game freezes again. After about 5-10 min of waiting I press esc and suddenly I´m in the campaign???? Everything looks really weird like the buttons are just white squares. Obviously something is not working properly. What do u suggest I do?
