    Email file not showing up

    in Strategic Command Tech Support Forum

    Posted

    Hi

    After alot of work (and some great help from the support team) my buddy and I finally got both our SC2 WAW games updated to latest update and ready to go

    He played the first turn of the Barbarossa scenario, emailed it to me, I played my turn and saved it (can see it saved as Email-2 in my email save file under his Email-1) but I cannot locate it in the file out of game

    We both followed the basic rule of play the entire turn then save, as you can't save email games mid turn last time I checked

    Is there another place I should look??

    We are both running win 10 systems and both updated to latest patches of the game

    Another thought, is there a similar game that i a newer version of this one which may be more win 10 friendly?

    Thanks

    Chris

    Hey guys

    Started playin pbem w friend, first game in years

    Reloaded onto win 7 computer/vista patch

    Initial set up of 'Moscow' scenario

    Tried to save during set up as I didn't have time to finish

    I see the saved files in 'saved' file of Cmbb but it won't pull up the saved set up

    Can you save during setup?

    Is the save file in wrong locAtion?

    Thought the old stadArd was they save to pbem folder

    Thanks

    Moved the game from my xp machine to win 7

    Can't find lic key

    My other games like SC2 & cmak have it on back of book but I noticed sc1 is on the cd case...which is possibly lost

    Any way to look it up from game installed on my Xp machine

    Or do I need to buy another?

    Thanks

    cease fire

    in Combat Mission: Barbarossa to Berlin

    Posted

    thanks king

    but was wondering if i decide to try cease fire and do not know if my opponent will immediately agree and hit cease fire.................will any 'plots' i make (on the same turn i hit cease fire) take effect, or does cease fire nullify my moves (assuming my opponent does not immediately cease fire)?

    tech question for cmbb

    in Combat Mission: Barbarossa to Berlin

    Posted

    thx for the input

    i bit the bullet and just uninstalled then reinstalled, now it runs fine again, other than having to do the alt-tab when text doesn't show up in boxes

    probably had something change the video settings or corrupt the program

    as a sidenote it seems like you don't have to 'unlicense' the software if uninstalling and reinstalling on the same computer because i accidentally didn't and it reloaded fine

    thanks again

    tech question for cmbb

    in Combat Mission: Barbarossa to Berlin

    Posted

    hi

    i have been playing cmbb through a couple campaigns with no major problems although i still need to alt-tab to minimize the game when text doesn't show up

    this seems to be different

    i tried to open the game for a campaign in pbem that we are almost done with and the game starts up either with a black screen playing some music or a screen with very large text on the initial start up screen

    and it sometimes says the 'game requires at least 800x600'

    playing with xp system sp 3, ati radeon x1950 pro video card, intel core2 duo cpu E4600@2.4 GHz

    i was thinking of just uninstalling and reinstalling but thought this may lose our pbem game

    thanks

    pbem problem(s)

    in Combat Mission - Tech Support

    Posted

    hi

    having some problems after installing cmbb with the pbem and white out of scenario screen

    for the pbem files i can attach the file but when it is sent it also has a pbem data (gibberish) of 100s of characters in the subject line. is this avoidable

    also having a whiteout on the scenario screen when starting (until i alt-tab and return) which brings up the text (just annoying)

    also when i try to save the pbem that are sent to me it doesnt allow me to save it directly to the pbem file but just sticks it on the desktop so i have to copy and paste it to the file........going in through my computer

    playing on xp computer, ati radeon 9800 vid card with latest catalyst driver (and i tried the radeon fix in other posts but still get whited out scenario text) and using mozilla (which may relate to the file saving issues

    thanks

    Missing graphics on new install, Win XP

    in Combat Mission: Barbarossa to Berlin

    Posted

    hi

    i just came back to cmbb after years off

    even downloaded the new game (v1.30) and am having the same issue with missing text in the scenario/campaign, the alt tab thing works but what a pain

    is there no other fix for this, i tried reloading the but this did not help..........however when i first downloaded the game, licensed and started the scenario screen was readable

    currently running win xp syst with ati card (i think 9800) on a fairly new machine

    i also found that on my first pbem game when i tried to finish my second turn by hitting GO there was no action and it just went back to the main screen (eg new game, join tcp/ip,etc). my opponent saw no action on his turn too as well

    i will try the fix someone else mentioned

    thanks

    in Theatre of War

    Posted

    my friend downloaded the demo and said it ran kinda slow on his high end computer (he runs and xp system with the latest nvidia card and plenty of ram as he builds computers for a living)

    is this an issue or could it be the demo just runs slow

    sounds cool

    thinking of buying this game for me and 2 friends

    multiplayer sounds cool in that more than 2 players can play a game and can coop against the ai.............does it work well over cable /dsl connection

    can you play via email? like combat mission??

    we've all played cm and this sounds like a cool upgrade

    thanks

    global campaign and invasion

    in Strategic Command 2 Blitzkrieg and Weapons and Warfare

    Posted

    just started playing the global campaign for sc2 blitzkrieg hvs h

    any one that played this one know if it is possible to invade the different island fortresses or if it is like trying to take malta in normal sc2 blitz?? because there are so many island fortresses and without land air units it seems near impossible to take these areas as allies.

    also in my first game, i took Benelux and Indonesia (on pacific front) turned into axis controlled Dutch East Indies............was planning to invade these areas as Japan but seems like it would be smarter to wait until later (like just before usa enters war). does anyone have any experience of invading these areas as Japan and the timing. i know this is mostly a strategery decision but just fishing for general strategy

    thanks

    amphibious assault and leadership

    in Strategic Command 2 Blitzkrieg and Weapons and Warfare

    Posted

    haven't been able to get an answer for this one on related posts

    for units prepping for amphibious assault, does leadership matter??

    for instance, if you are prepping American troops to assault Sicily from North Africa having a leader nearby will usually get them supply of 6 or 7 but without a leader the supply suffers. Will the supply when they hit the beaches automatically go to 10 for the first turn (if the transport only takes 1 turn), or is it the same supply value as what they were at before loading into the amphib boats??

    reason i ask is it is hard to get a group of units (eg 3-4 armies) up to 6 or 7 even with a leader nearby, even with control of Gibraltar and Malta. so is would be nice to know if amphib assault troops automatically default to supply of 10 on their first turn off the boat for staging purposes

    thanks
