I've been buying quite a few of the direct download HPS titles to add to my existing HPS games. I've noticed that some of the DD titles have not been patched in a while and as a result, still suffer from the NVIDIA graphics bug which causes corruption of the graphics in the hex info area. It's not a fatal bug (clicking a couple of times on another hex usually clears things up), but it's pretty annoying. Campaign Eckmuhl was my most recent purchase and it suffers from the bug whereas the France 14 title does not. Some of the Early American War games suffer as well. I had thought I found a fix using an application call 3DAnalyzer, but alas I was mistaken.
I understand that the these older games will be patched eventually, resolving the bug but there's heaps of games, so I am assuming that this is going to take a while.
My question is, would you be willing to accept a volunteer developer (i.e. me) to implement this graphics fix across the older titles.
Appreciate the offer Mark, but there's more than just graphic fixes that go into each update. Additionally, we have to test each update. So there's no quick & easy fix to this. If you would like to discuss further you can email me at Support@johntillersoftware.com

I tried your 3dAnalyzer suggestion on SB Vietnam, but it only reduced the map corruption issue slightly. It was a good try and I thank you for the effort to finding a solution Mark.

Guys, just in case youa ren't aware of it, we are in the process of rolling out updates that *should* resolve these display issues for you. I am conducting public testing on the updates before they go live on these forums:
After some delays over the summer we're back on track with updates...got Jena & El Alamein in testing right now...Modern Campaigns games are being worked on too - so if you want to test drive any of these visit the forum linked above. So far all have been solid.
