Hi! I am having some trouble with my raven shield planning map screen. For some reason, every time I click anywhere in the map, all that happens is this: the level (floors) changes. I cant seem to lay waypoints or anything. I am new to the game, so please tell me what I may be doing wrong! If not, how to fix the problem. Thank you much

Is it a stock map, or some custom-made? If custom, it means that its author didn't adjust planning floors (or something is wrong with them).

well, if i understand you correctly, my answer is that it is a stock map (regular, default, whatever you want to call it) that comes with the game as a regular mission (first one too, no success in the past)

OK, so then it's not a map problem. I would suggest check .u-files in /ravenshield/system/ folder. May be some of them corrupt. You can try to take files from another PC with the same version of the game.

I have this problem as well, and it really ruins any ability to play the game unless you load the default plans, which takes away half of the gameplay.

Clicking on the map causes a 3-5 second pause, then it jumps to the top level. I find if I zoom all the way out, I can start plotting, but it still pauses before each placement. It get's more annoying, after about five or so points, clicking to place another makes the selection jump back to the insertion point and it won't take any more waypoints.

Hope this doesn't come across like a thread hijack. The problems seem to be the same.

Do you run it on Vista?

XP here, and without Athena Sword. AS might have some bug fixes but I don't want to buy a game I can't play.

Have you updated to the latest patch? What is your game version?
Try to make a clean install (export [HKEY_LOCAL_MACHINE\SOFTWARE\Red Storm Entertainment\RAVENSHIELD] section from the registry into a .reg-file and remove this section from the registry). Install the game from another distribution that is 100% working (to exclude that it's corrupted itself), run the game without any patches applied, then install all patches, run it again and compare the result.

Forgot to add: install it into another directory. Until you restore original data from the .reg-file, you'll be able to run the game from this new directory.

omg i came accross this thread while searching google for this very problem!


a week ago i decided to re-install rvs after 4 years and absolutely everything worked fine.

then i reformatted and thats when the planning stage suddenly stopped working. reinstalling did not help a thing.


now tonight i've reformatted my computer again and to my horror the planning still does not work!



The problem is the same as the OP's... whenever I click to set a waypoint the floor level changes.


Bloody hell please someone give a solution!



EDIT: ok the solution is to turn off your GPU's AA setting because the game can't render the waypoints with AA on.

google only seemed to cache this thread regarding this problem and not the many others here on ubi.com so if someone is trying to fix the problem via google searching like i was.... here you go!
