Welcome!
The following guide includes many fixes to problems that occur commonly in the AC series. All information in this guide was taken from The Hawks' Club website: http://www.mastersofthefield.com/ . All information I supply here is supplied in much more detail there. It is currently the biggest, and longest lived AC club to date.

Our club plays mods for ACFB, made for perfection and historical accuracy. The current one that we play the most is the HEW mod (Hawks European Warefare), but new ones are planned to be released in the near future.

If you love to replay historical battles, or simply love the AC series, please check out our website: http://www.mastersofthefield.com/ . It was put together, and is constantly updated, by fans of AC just like you!

Currently we use GameRanger to play online and we play battles almost everyday of the week, and even more on weekends which sometimes include, 2v2's, 3v3s, and even sometime 3v4.

Hope you visit our website, but even if you don't, feel free to use any of the information below!

Wacky Graphics... what to do?
With new OS coming out every other day, more and more problems accur for our favorite old games. One of the most common errors for the AC series is, weird graphics. When I say weird graphics, I dont mean totally black screen. Bad graphics is when you can still play the game but it is super hard to see because the screen looks all fuzzy.

Luckily for all AC fans, this problem can be easily fixed. Once you start the game, if your graphics are bad, simply quit explorer.exe. If you do not know how to do this, either download Explorer.exe Manager, or go to the following link to our website and it will tell you how to quit it manually.

DMCR.exe missing!
If your DMCR.exe is missing after installing the game, it is because your anti-virus thought it was a virus and deleted it. You can get a new one at our website on the forums.

As with all errors, if you need more help, feel free to ask more questions and I will be happy to help.
Black Screen Error.

I was able to fix the DMCR error and get the game to run, put about 13hrs in and now the game is crashing as I’m trying to teach the British a lesson and capture their stone fortress… with about 3k units on my side on the map… I’m so close and can’t bear to restart. Any ideas?

I have a problem with my game. It starts but freezes apart from the mouse cursor when I start a mission. Any fixes?

How about European warships not being able to fire? I always make sure I have enough resources and there's never friendly units in the way when this happens.
