Gave me a chuckle, too, since every bug I have ever found when testing, save one, had already been reported. mjk "Least Efficient Beta Tester" Any other scenarios you find them in, add a save file to the mantis report. Not sure if Charles will need it, but more data never hurts. 0 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

CMFDR Posted April 10, 2016 Share Posted April 10, 2016 mountains west [winter snow].bmp seems to cause an issue if one is using a replacement "horizon" (skybox\mountains) as that file looks to overwrite both mountains west [winter].bmp and mountains west [snow].bmp pictures. (For mod users : a temporary fix is simply to duplicate your modded mountains west [snow].bmp and name it mountains west [winter snow].bmp). Love CMFB's atmosphere, great job devs! 0 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Seriously though, do you have a save file of that? One file right here. https://onedrive.live.com/redir?resid=33A7989A62CBA6C!22725&authkey=!ADNOUIXcIup987s&ithint=file%2cbts 2 player TCP/IP turn based game, I was the host, my opponent (the german player) set up the trenches. Immediately after the setup phase, I saw all of his trenches flying in the sky, he saw them properly placed. Later, we took a break, and when we reloaded, the trenches were flying for both players. That's when we tried to have the flying trench fight in the video. If you look, you'll also find 2 trenches which are about 50 meters deep, (near chateau). This is not the first time I've seen this. Trenches in Red Thunder and Black Sea also do this, although this is the first time we've tried interacting with them. Like the flickering video, this is something that has been seen by my group of friends several times (much more frequently than the flickering). Also of interest in this game is the minefield at the Hotel VP. After a ridiculous fight to get into the point, I ran a platoon into the vp. ~20 men entered the vp and stood their ground, then we saved. When we reloaded, I ordered the men to leave the objective, and that's when I learned the hard way that my opponent had setup a large minefield on the vp. None of the troops tripped a mine on the way in, but most hit mines taking the same route out, suggesting the mines did not have any effect until the game was reloaded. Finally, I played another game Saturday where the moment setup was complete, the 3 trps I set up all moved dramatically, 2 moved to be practically on top of each other in the middle of no where. A half dozen of my opponent's foxholes appeared in my spawn in this game as well. I've documented that and will post it later. 0 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

von Luck Posted April 11, 2016 Share Posted April 11, 2016 To add to what Hate has posted here. I consistently, across every CM2x platform, have issues with minefields. I play TCP/IP turn based exclusively and I am typically not the host. Issues with minefields are consistent - once placed the mine placards stay in place, however, the mines themselves seem to end up in different parts of the map. On one occasion my opponent discovered my AP mines in his spawn. As hate has described in this game though is a first. We typically play our games in one session and I so consistantly have issues with mines I rarely bring them. However as he described here once the save file for the game was loaded my AP mines across the Hotel area immediately began to take their toll whereas prior to the load they might as well not have been there. Please take a look at all of the "fortification" type objects as we consistently have a variety of issues. Thanks, von Luck 0 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

para Posted April 11, 2016 Share Posted April 11, 2016 (edited) two things i noticed 1 I was unable to move a scout team to any point on the map..this was well into a solo game. 2 Not sure if this is a bug but German soldiers were able to get within feet of my men without being seen. Literally right next to them and in front of them.

bram1979 Posted April 11, 2016 Share Posted April 11, 2016 Perhaps I missed it but why are there no Commonwealth forces in CMFB? I was planning making a Overloon scenario (now with the prober timeline) but I need British forces for it. 0 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
PanzerMike Posted April 11, 2016 Share Posted April 11, 2016 Alas Bram, no CW forces in the initial release. I was looking at an Overloon scenario for the release too. Instead I made Meijel Mayhem. This depicts the fighting around Meijel during a short German Counter offensive in the Peel Marshes. The US 7th ARM division was active on that sector of the front. You can still do an Overloon scenario if you restrict it to the US 7th ARM Division, before it was relieved by the Brits. Or, you can take the Meijel Master Map included in CMFB and design additional scenarios for the Meijel battle. That would be great 0 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

They would indeed be great but my field of expertice lies to the East (regarding the Dutch SS units in Russia). I don't know much about US actions after Market Garden .

PanzerMike Posted April 11, 2016 Share Posted April 11, 2016 (edited) Well, a great opportunity has just come up to fill the gaps in your knowledge, it seems! What better way to showcase that new found knowledge than a scenario Really, I never heard of the Battle of Meijel too before I started work on it. Arnhem yes, Overloon yes, Meijel???? But it is a great subject for scenarios (a campaign even)! Ow and sorry for derailing this thread.....
