Issues fixed

Falling through terrain

In the Steam version you will start falling through the terrain; this becomes an issue in mission 5 "Mayday! Mayday!" if you go too far north, and in Mission 6, "Ready for bear", which happens before you exit the APC.
Instructions

Crash at launch

Instructions

Cross-com doesn't work (middle mouse button)

In the Steam version, the middle mouse button does not seem to function as it should, i.e. make your soldiers execute a command. To fix the problem, you need to edit a file called ctrl_set_def.xml.

Instructions

Temporary freeze at startup

The retail version of GRAW is still looking for the Gamespy servers on startup but naturally won't get any response. This lookup causes a temporary freeze, about 20 seconds long. You can prevent this by editing the windows hosts file.

Notes

  1. 1.0 1.1 File/folder structure within this directory reflects the path(s) listed for Windows and/or Steam game data (use Wine regedit to access Windows registry paths). Games with Steam Cloud support may store data in ~/.steam/steam/userdata/<user-id>/13640/ in addition to or instead of this directory. The app ID (13640) may differ in some cases. Treat backslashes as forward slashes. See the glossary page for details.
