You do realize you can go to any of your games on the Steam client and exclude them from automatic updates. If you want to stay on a older version of a title you can no problem.

It's not remote desktop. It just streams the video to another client. Like the old days of linux where you would direct your video output to another device.

Can't believe no one has brought the following up. Right now I'm streaming Close Combat from my main gaming rig in the office to my laptop connected to my 65 LED TV at 1080p via the Steam client. The gaming rig drives the game and the laptop is nothing more than a thin client in the end displaying the game on the tv. Lets just say it looks darn nice.

Little confused here. I see CMBN won the community award for gold for 2011. I assume that's the award the community voted for and the editors of Wargamer.com choose Panzer Corps for gold.

Know exactly how you feel. CM1 is still my favorite game that let me simulate about any encounter I could dream up. CMBN looks good and the only drawback, well a big drawback is the very limited scope of the game. Get the feeling that Multiman Publishing is involved.

This is one of the reasons I'm such a big fan of steam

Didn't realize they now had a console version of CMSF

I'm not completely sure about the sales figures, but Steve has a reply in another post that says the opposite of that. http://www.battlefront.com/community/showthread.php?t=86541&page=3

You might want to try installing Microsoft Virtual PC 2007 on your Vista machine. You can then install a Virtual XP client and most likely play CM1.

The scenario designer that designed a move through your lines and into the rear of your position all while you were on the advance has a future in scenario design as well as fortune telling.

I can run both games fine under Vista with a ATI video card. But I recently had to replace my video card in the XP box and the card I picked was a Nvidia 8800. Since then no CMBB or CMAK, but CMBO does work.

But won't I still know the plans of the AI.

Doesn't going to all that trouble kinda kill the purpose of a QB. I mean now more of less I know what the enemy is going to do to a point and the area he is going to setup in.

I completely forgot about the Video card being the problem. Like Abbott I'm running a 8800 as well and no CMAK for me.

No luck, but CMBO will run.

And they wonder why the game is criticised.

For a lot of us its still the best and only game in town.

There is no DX10 for XP and DX10 fuctions on the newer video cards wont run under XP. I have two machines that I use for playing CMBB and the one that can't play CMBB anymore is the XP machine with a Nvidia 8800 installed. THe VIsta machine plays CMBB like a champ with integrated video..

I'll pass on that offer, thanks anyways.

I believe your best bet to get DEM into a game of this design would revolve around Hieght Maps. TOW uses Hieght Maps as well as Matrix's upcoming title PCK. You'll need to download the required DEM data then convert it to a Hieght Map via MicroDEM. http://www.wooblelab.com/command/show/67-3d-height-map-from-usgs

As I recall an in-game screen was promised a while ago. It's one of those simple fixes that would be worth much more than the time expended on it. </font>

This may work, but it's just plain crazy that you would need to resort to this. Area fire with AP rounds is about the craziest thing I have ever heard. Kinda like catching a fart in a wind storm. HE rounds I can see, but AP.

Me to, interested in this other dark place where the real nasty posting happens.

SlyBelle, It all comes down to the amount of micromanagement you feel comfortable with. I myself really dont like to micromanage anything so this has really limited the game for me. Not a fan of RTS at all, but I figured that hell Id su8pport battlefront.

it's what you do on a beach! </font>
