So, the basic CMRT with with the latest upgrade and upgrade and no ekstra modules purchased is 17 GB. It has no more scenarioes than CMFI and yet still is 17 times larger. Almost as much as the newest AAA titles. Shrullenhaft is likely correct that for every new version/patch, a completely new brz file is created. Why not just delete the older brz files? Frankly this is pissing me of - out of principal. I payed myself for my hardware. what if all gamedevelopers where this indifferent towards their customers computers?

I just recently started playing CM2 again so i reinstalled CMFI and CMRT. I purchased the upgrade 4.0 for Red thunder and now the game takes up a staggering 17GB !!! on my hard drive while fortress italy which is still just engine 2.0 just takes up about 1GB Why? when i look into CMRT's folder there are a lot of giant files for every update since the beginning. It makes no sense. Regards, Thore

c3k's explanation lies closest to the truth, i guess. Since it ,in this case, was game breaking and very unrealistic, it must be a bug. Not just a feature, like so many other odd behaviours in the game (like my example of the other stug not seeing the t34 15 meters in front of it.)

there might have been vegetation in the way, but not much. The STUG was able to see both targets most of the time during the turn.

the distance to the t34s was about 200m, and they where maybe 50 meters apart. It sounds plausible that my stug tried to aim at both tanks at the same time with terrible consequences.

I dont have a save file - had i kept a more mature demeanor i might have at least saved the game for that specific purpose. All i thought of was how to find some sort of screen capturer to record the happening, but since I was in the middle of the game I dropped it and exited the game.

I just started my first red thunder game playing as the germans in the Tankovnyi Desant. One Stug got blown up from afar without ever firing a shot, even though it was sitting still in the middle of the road some ways back in the forest with an excellent view down the road towards the other side. Commander was out looking around. But hey, this happens. A bit later a t34 was 15m in front of my right hand stug in the low trees on the edges of the forest. My stug couldn't see it, but i never found out how this little engagement turned out because i ragequitted after the following event, which happened in the same turn and which is definitely a bug: My left hand STUG had a mediocre view over the crossing points and the road, but since I the turn before noticed that some t34's where rolling over the crossing point area unmolested, i decided to move the stug a bit forward to get a better view. The next turn the stug moved slowly forward through the small bushes and trees and after just 5-10 seconds had a much better view of the side of two t34 moving west. Great, i thought, but then the stug spend the rest of the turn, not stopping and firing, but turning left and right, left and right, while sitting on the same spot untill the t34 finally spotted it and killed it. I then rage quitted and started this thread. Is this a known bug? I have played all the former cm titles (all of them) and never seen this before.

One of my friends is waiting to purchase Combat Mission until Market Garden comes out for the Battle for Normandy game.

I currently trying to survive the 3rd tutorial mission. My MGs are from the beginning very low on ammo, and i noticed theres a jeep full of ammo at the house. How do I get the ammo distributed to the two mg teams? Do I use the acquire order (whatever that is) best regards Thore

If that is true, that GOLD just need vanlilla installed, and doesn't use any of the files, it's just plain dumb. Can someone please clarify this? Oh and by the way, i usually enjoy listening to radio over the net while conquering europe, but i'd like to hear just some of the sounds of the game. Could it be possible to add an volume configuration somewhere in the game instead of the on/off switch? Thanks

I've noticed that GOLD installs itself in a different folder than the "vanilla" global conflict game. Is GOLD in fact a stand alone expansion? It appears that way when I inspect the content of the two game folders. Can I uninstall the vanilla global conflict now that I have GOLD ? regards Thore

Hi I was wondering wether it would be possible to buy this game as digital download only. I live in Denmark, and I guess it will be more expensive then 10$ to ship the hard copy overseas. best regards Thore

Great Idea!!! Thats is exactly what i had hoped would be in the game from launch. I hate having to look over every single unit and their destinations every single round. What about a 'view all destination-lines' hotkey? The lessening of user-fatigue is paramount for a game of this type.

That's is correct, sir

My guess is that it stops the moment it wants to write. It connects to server then says error downloading data/images/attack-icon.bmp It worked with the last patch, sortof. But I had trouble then as well. Had to restart several times. it stopped half way through alot of times before it finally was able to go all the way. When I look at properties in the EOS folder it has the attributes read-only, and this is unchangeable. that is, i change it but it doesnt register when i check properties later
