Just when I thought things couldn't get any worse, I'm now getting an 'Out of memory' error half way through my first email game! Any ideas? Windows Vista 2.2 intel duo 2gb ram Nvidia 8600GT

Hi all, Yep sorry to say but the 8xxx series cards don't run this game properly. I've spent hours and hours trying to get this and all of the other CM games to work properly and they don't. I'm running the said card with vista, 2gb ram, and a 2.2 dual core. This is well enough to play this game but the performance is pants.

It gets worse!!! Not only do all of my Combat mission games play rubbish if at all (ok its supposed to be a Nvidia problem), Battlefront have removed one of the greatest features the Combat Mission series has. Why for god sake? I think that's the final straw for me. I'll be paying Matrix games a visit for some new titles, funded by the sale of my Combat mission games. A sad day.

Hi all, I've managed to get SF running on my 8600GT. Its slow, infact very slow, but usable. I'm now in the process of starting a SF email game with a friend. Thing now is unit selection. In previous versions of CM games you had the option of building your army prior to any email battle. This added much more tactics to the game and didn't restrict either side to a set, preselected army. Can anybody tell me if I'm missing something or I need go about things in a different way to achieve the same result? I'd be very disappointed if the option has been taken out. Thanks

Hi all, Just thought I'd add myself to the growing number of people upset by Nvidia. I've been a Combat mission player since the start and I'm STILL delighted by the PBEM and turnbased system. I have all three earlier versions and recently purchased the fourth. Unfortunately I've recently made the mistake of updating my PC for a gaming laptop. It comes with Vista and a Nvidia 8600m GT card, which plays Medieval 2 and EVE beyond what I expected. Unfortunately NONE of the Combat mission games work (CMSF plays at a snails pace but works the best out of the lot). To be honest I was close to returning the laptop as I was so frustrated that my one and only turn based PBEM (cant find any others, can anyone help there?) wont run on it. It also upsets me that the games I'm currently running via mail with friends are useless. Is there anything I can do to may be help push Nvidia to fix this problem? Thanks
