Point of clarification from a historical perspective - the "Hell on Wheels" sig was added post war and was not part of the patch in WWII.

Great stuff.

Very nice.

Great job GAJ.

Welcome back Tom! I must admit that I came to CMBO after release and before I even starting played it I went to your site and "mod-slutted" every damn thing. You had great stuff on that site. BTW, I recognized that map immediately. Great job.

Just got mine about an hour ago. Nice box. Nice manual.

Thanks Jerkov!

Well, they rode tanks in "Kelly's Hero's" - I saw it! Cmon BF, put some realism in CMBN.

Heard there was one. Which is it?

Best quote from a movie chock full of good ones. It was Telly's finest role.

No e-mail for me but my order status shows shipped ( ) and I ordered on 03/11.

A common issue w/ ATI cards and W7 64 bit. To fix upgrade your drivers to 11.5.

Since I spent about 2 hours doing this I thought I would share the results for two reasons: - Many have had questions about eking out FPS and the impact of this setting or that setting - I know I love to steal others settings that are proven to work so I figured I could return the favor System specs: AMD PhenomII X4 965 Black Edition Quad-Core CPU (3.4Ghz) MSI 770-G45 AM3 770 Chipset CrossFireX Support DDR3 Socket AM3 ATX Mainboard 6GB (2GBx3) DDR3/1600MHz Dual Channel Memory Module Windows 7 Home Premium 64 bit 600 Watts Power Supply (XtremeGear SLI/CrossFireX Ready Power Supply) ATI Radeon HD 5670 1GB DDR5 16X PCIe Video Card [DirectX 11 Support] DX 11 & DX 9 installed - Running game on a 23” Samsung monitor at 1920x1800 rez Benchmark approach: - FRAPS (many insist that FRAPS itself steals a bunch of frames from CM games – don’t know if that is really the case or not) - Saved a turn about 2 minutes in from the third battle. - Replayed 60 seconds of the next turn w/ FRAPS over and over again at the same view level w/ the lead tank locked up. (Note: was impressed by the variations in results each turn.) Game graphics settings that I am now using: Display = desktop (1920x1800) Vsync = Off 3D Model = Improved 3d Texture = Best AA/Multi-sample = On High = On ATI = On Shadows = Off Frames Time (ms) Min Max Avg 2288 60000 24 53 38.133 Observations: - Shadows KILL FPS as can be seen by comparing the first two benchmarks (low settings/shadows on to low settings/shadows off). So goodbye shadows – sigh. - The 3D Model setting has an effect on FPS as well – and “Improved” (coupled w/ setting Texture to Best) looks the same to me as higher settings so “Improved” it is. - AA/Multisample has the largest effect on GFX quality – duh! – so must be set to On - Turning the High Priority setting to On gave me a +5 FPS boost and did not seem to effect anything else so…set to On. - All CCC settings were set to their lowest level or application controlled. I did do another round of benchmarking consisting of turning these all on or up high and found they had NO effect on GFX quality but most hit FPS – so I’m keeping them at the lowest settings. The settings above give me the best balance of smooth game play and GFX quality. Of course, your mileage may vary.

That's Capitalism baby!! The little engine that provides the greatest amount of goods and services for the least money. Martin, Steve and the gang gotta get paid. But, in return they give us gooey game goodness with a rich chocolate center.

Someone piss in your Cheerios this morning Fritz? It will be out this week. Hey, I'm ony on my 10th turn of the first Demo battle so I have a ways to go. Perhaps that's why I'm so calm.

Believe we have to give Moon some credit here as if the game was to be released next week he would have stated - "not this week." But he did not state that at all and therefore I am thinking later today or tomorrow appears likely.

+1 for Target armor arc.

I think I read where BF has a game coming out real soon. REAL soon....

It's the "Sticky Fingers" of games.

Got it sorted. Thanks.

Me too. Same issue and 11.5 fixed it.

Tested CCC based AA - not only does it look worse but FPS went down. Advice for ATI users - set AA in game to On and set CCC AA to the lowest setting = Multi-sample

I did some benchmarking w/ my ATI card and had the issue when AA was set to Super-sample. It could be in conflict w/ the in-game AA setting. Here are my settings that I found to give me the best combo of speed and nice GFX: Game settings: Display = desktop Vsync = Off 3D Model = Improved 3d Texture = Best AA/Multi-sample = On High = On ATI = On Shadows = Off CCC settings: SV HD Anti-Aliasing = Use app SV HD Anostropic Filtering = Use app Tesselatiom = Use app AI = Performance (disable) Mipmap Detail = High Performance Vertical Refresh = Off AA = Multi-sample Open GL = Triple Buffer Try these and perhaps they will work.
