Known Issues:

  • Occasional FPS drops in the Ajdabiya mission.
  • Sound may desynchronize on occasion during the Ajdabiya mission. Setting Audio to Low and restarting the game may help reduce this issue.
  • Some visual discrepancies on vehicles (charring, attachments, tints, tracks not animating, etc.).
  • Mortars cannot be picked up from the battlefield.
  • Anti-air gun in the village is missing its asset.
  • Recovery Vehicle may be able to recover targets from further than intended. Certain trucks cannot be recovered as intended.
  • Famo Recovery Half-Trak's self-repair ability is passive despite its tooltip saying 'Click to Activate.'
  • A British 2 Pounder Anti-tank gun in the mission has a fixed position and will not rotate.
  • A building in the final village cannot be completely destroyed.
  • Flak 36 88mm cannot be towed when both towing vehicles are destroyed.
  • Unit call-in abilities do not display Manpower cost.
  • Air call-ins display incorrect target area. Ability only affects one side of the target area.
  • Withdraw ability can target the Flak 36 unintentionally.
  • Unloading infantry from tank-riding may not display the correct animation.
  • Vehicles do not traverse trenches as smoothly as intended.
  • Units may unintentionally abort a retreat order.
  • Reinforcing the Flak 36 causes a grey progress box instead of a proper icon.
  • Tank riding Panzergrenadier squads don’t follow their leader once they disembark the tanks without further instructions.

Black Italian uniforms and gas masks on a scorching desert sun are gonna leave a thorn in the eye for everyone. Pls fix that I just can't look at it. It's so out of place.

the game needs graphic improvements
there are bugs, for example, the soldiers climb on top of a tank and are seen sitting on the outside, as if they were floating.
the game bears a strong resemblance to company of heroes 2
when capturing a tank, you should see the emblems of the country you captured, and not the emblem of the enemy, it seems that the enemy tank is your ally.
Cheers

I followed all the steps to activate the alpha mission, but when I start the game I get an error message. (Screenshot)

Can you tell me what is the cause of the problem and how can I fix it?

Game crashes 2 seconds after starting. To bad, was super hyped to play it! Hopefully it gets fixed soon (at least before the alpha closes).

Downloaded the mission, when starting it, i get a full-black screen for about 5 seconds, then the game crashes...

Is this because my GPU is GTX760, so the game can't run?

While playing the first mission, my FPS dropped from 60 FPS to 3 FPS[(latency 110) with RTX 3080m and AMD 5900HX ... xD] and the game remains in this state, it is currently unplayable. It doesn't matter what settings I have, it always comes up while playing, disappointing.

Why do I have to sit through the entire "welcome to Mission Alpha" video every time I start the game? Why does ESC or spacebar or mouse click, etc not allow you to get past that? It's lengthy and I've already watched it.

For those of you who had their game crash in the first few seconds of launching it. This might be because you need to update the software of your videocard or the drivers. I had the game crash while launching, but resolved the problem this way.


Good luck and have fun!
