Weirdo error in PTW
I have re-installed, un-installed, tried everything I could think of... but when starting PTW (Conquests works fine), all text gets screwed up... Here's how it looks after starting a new game:




Anyone who's got any clue on what could be wrong here?

Looks as if one of the files in the Text subdirectory is screwed. Are you sure it's installed and patched properly?

Copy all of your save games to another directory, then uninstall the game using the OS to uninstall it. Then delete the directory. Then reboot, then reinstall, then patch, then put your save games back where they were.

Certainly reinstall from the scratch should fix it. I've seen screens like this when I edited these text files for a scenario (after copying them in the scenario's own directory, of course).

After having uninstalled/reinstalled the full game tons of times during the last couple of weeks, I'm not ready to do another full uninstall/reinstall... but I'll try to do simple reinstall of PTW, hoping it'll fix the problem...

And no, I haven't changed any files at present time...
