  1. I reminded you just the other day not to post here, Mum.
  2. yeah, cmx2 PBEM files can be huge, in the "email not the best way to transfer reliably" way.
  3. "My Panther! My beautiful Panther!"
  4. For a reason only known to themselves, battlefront insist on supplying the 8 year old game manual with their downloads, which is not the latest version that includes instructions (basic as they are) on how to use PBEM++. You will need to contact helpdesk to find the updated manual, which is hidden within their labrynthine files system. @BFCElvis
  5. create a new ticket, it's unlikey anyone has read this thread https://battlefront.mojohelpdesk.com/
  6. eek! I'd think twice before visiting a site with 'warez' in it!
  7. the slitherine servers can be unreliable. Use dropbox to remove slitherine from the equation.
  8. Exactly. Right now, this company has a distinct 'boys club' vibe, at the expense of the product itself.
  9. It may also be worth refreshing your install of Microsoft Visual C++ distributable 2015-2022 as the game relies on it since the latest update. https://aka.ms/vs/17/release/vc_redist.x86.exe
  10. I believe, as we are all paying customers, and most of us I suspect have invested some hundreds of dollars here - can feel somewhat justified to provide some feedback of sorts. Normally, well lead businesses will ask directly for feedback as part of their daily transactions.
  11. The bug was first reported in early 2020. It took at least 2 attempts to fix later that year. Although, in some titles at least, it's only just been fixed in the latest release. eg CMFI 2.20 patch notes (patch released Sept 12 2023): "FIXED: Infantry no longer flees toward enemy." Rando
  12. Apologies, I should have explained what I meant by 'prove'. As the honcho I would have thought he would have the final word on game releases and updates. You know the kind of thing - send it up to the boss for final approval before retail release. And so Steve would be practising due diligence by looking at the releases and ensuring they are of merchantable quality, amongst other things. And yet, we see in the latest round of game updates eg CMBN, CMRT and CMFI: 1. No mention of the requirements to have Microsoft Visual C++ 2015- 2022 Redistributable (x86) installed in Windows for the latest patches that include PBEM++ to even run. Not even on the website (to my knowledge). 2. No inclusion of the updated game manual that tells you how to actually play said PBEM++. It's out there, somewhere, but the one you receive with your updated game is dated 2015 and hence has no mention of the feature. 3. Continued releasing of patches in the past that fail to address say, inf breaking cover and heading towards enemy, although patch notes state that its fixed. It's small details like this (yes, they are small, but to my eye, important) that lead me to believe that people who represent the company are not paying close enough attention to the game itself. So when I see said people spending their time on unrelated topics and rarely discussing the games themselves - and the above items (and more) are still not addressed - raises my eyebrow. I'd like management to roll up their sleeves and prove that they are 100% behind their product, by ensuring their product is as good as it can be. But that probably won't be read either. From one rando to another
