  1. Thanks Matt!!!!!!! The 2cpu problem is gone and the game really runs great now. The backup of vehicles and waypoint/checkpoint add on features really change the game. You can actually create your movement orders for individual elements or group them as a squad or platoon with the checkpoint command. This feature in my opinion dramatically changes the game since most real world operation order grahics do the same. This is so significant that I am going back and refighting all my previous battles. Hope everyone has good luck with the new patch. Iam off to discover and enjoy all the new goodies and defend Moscow.
  2. "Amen to that brother" I am enjoying it also. Get the patch when it comes out and things should be even better.
  3. I am still looking for someone to try an online game with. I have read so many posts saying that Lan would not work and it actually works better than a lot of other games we have tried to hook up and play. My Lan hook up has less speed than my online connection and we have no lag playing on the Lan TOW setup. Check your Readme file in the game about settings for online connections this may help you. Just dont give up. I have spent many hours trying to get a games to work in multiplayer and it is usually a config problem preventing it.
  4. I have seen so many posts saying multiplayer online and Lan didnt work at all that I had to try for myself. I loaded up a 2nd computer on my wireless Lan network and multiplayer Lan is excellent. Both computers found each other and load times better than average. Gameplay during the multiplayer sessions so far are lag free. System Specs are: Computer 1: Core 2,@1.8, 2Megs of Ram, Nvidia 8600GTS, Windows Vista Computer 2: Pentium 4, 2.4GHZ 1Meg Ram, Nvidia 7600GS AGP, 56K Max speed hook up on wireless network, Windows XP With my 2nd computer connecting at only 56k max and playing lag free, I dont see why a broadband game online will not work. If anyone would like to hook up just drop me an email.
  5. wow!!! fifty cal you get it. Its a shame more people dont understand this game. Fighting down on the ground level and using the terrain is what seperates this game from the rest. Combat Arms Schools spend lots of time teaching terrain analysis for planning mission orders. I have seen officers chewed out repeatedly for failing to use the terrain correctly. If they get the multiplayer working better I would enjoy meeting you on the TOW battlefield for a friendly challenge.
  6. I guess Iam easy to impress. The fact that I can jump from an overhead RTS like strategy view all the way to the Tank Commanders view gives me flash backs. When all your tanks are moving and your looking around from the TCs point of view it actually reminds me of the real thing. I am even impressed with tha AI in this game and would rate it as one of the best. I am not getting paid for this endorsement. I paid my money just like everyone else. I just love this game!!!!. If you dont like this game go and purchase "WarFront turning point"and let me know how you like that mainstream wargame. It will be sacrificially burned in my fire place this winter.
  7. New to your forum and game. I have read many of your kudos and the complaints/problems. I have too many WWII PC games to mention. I also have many coffee and drink coasters after playing the pieces of junk. Some have been very good and many not. I purchase or demo anything WWII I can find and this is one of the best. Sure there are some problems but they are mostly offset by the first of its kind Unit detail and realism of tactics in this size of 3D model. I have spent lots of time doing real military tactics and wargaming in the field and this game is one of the best for serious tactical strategy of platoon/company+ size elements of the WWII era. Company of Heroes is not an accurate depiction of anything other than a fun game with WWII vehicles and troops. I hope Theatre of War continues to progess and continues to gain players who appreciate a more serious wargame. Have Windows Vista and the game works great first time everytime. Would like to try a hookup with anyone on Multiplayer to see for myself if it works or not. Contact me at j-harkness@hotmail.com and I am on Central time USA. Looking forward to visiting this forum and with its members and who knows maybe some multiplayer games.
