MassiveBT Posted July 21, 2017 Share Posted July 21, 2017 Howdy cowgirls, I am new to CM. Over the last days I extensively played the demos and now I am about to purchase. My question is: Do I need to buy upgrade 4 to have the latest experience or is the base game of CMFB updated to the last engine? I saw a post on the "home" section of the battlefront-page stating base games are up to date. However, I am confused if ENGINE4 and UPGRADE4 are the same thing. Would appreciate clarification Thx guys DISCLAIMER: I posted this in the Red Thunder sub, too, to get an answer asap, so that I can start playing 0 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Bozilas Posted August 1, 2017 Share Posted August 1, 2017 Sburke ---- are you sure about that? A PBEM opponent and I just discovered that, even though he purchased FBlitzkrieg 3 days ago --- it came as version 3.102 (or whatever the last one was before the engine 4 update). We ran into this because he could not load a turn. Below is the chat: -------------------------------------------------- You: Good luck, hope you enjoy the scenario Oppo: funny it gets to 25% loading and just stops You: ..... uhhhhh....... thats not good..... are you certain its not on your end? If not I guess I have to remake my turn / setup. Let me know. You: like... maybe your HD where CM is installed doesnt have enough free space? .... or..... do you have Final blitzkreig 4.0 ? (latest patch, the 10 dollar one) ?? Oppo: i just bought the game so i thought it had 4 built in You: Yes I believe thats true ---- You can check , main screen bottom right Oppo: and ive 500 Gig free You: okkkk we must have a corrupted turn then --- Let me try and drop it again --- if that doesnt work, I will remake it Oppo: it always takes a while to load though You: ok well give it like.... 4 - 5 minutes, and let me know You: Cuz I think the file is probably ok I've never seen this problem (that I remember) Oppo: you might be right ive got 3 -102 Oppo: ill buy version 4 You: sounds good --- you know battlefront, they like to make the MOST money they can... the new tracer effects are kinda cool though. You: Just curious when did you buy the game? I'll put this rumor to rest on the Forums that it comes updated.Oppo: 3 days ago! You: WOW. That aint right! .... ok I'm going to post about this. 0 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Apocal Posted August 1, 2017 Share Posted August 1, 2017 Talk to customer support; when I purchased FB, it was already Engine 4. 0 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
sburke Posted August 2, 2017 Share Posted August 2, 2017 what he said - CMFB came out in April last year. The upgrade in October and if my memory cells are functional ( I make no claim they are, but IF they are) the full installer was updated in November. If you open a ticket with BF and they see the sale date I am pretty certain they will rectify it for you which you could have done right away but that must be the kind of advanced behavior that only a team of NSA / Chinese hackers could perform. </sarcasm> 0 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Sakai007 Posted August 4, 2017 Share Posted August 4, 2017 I picked up FB a couple weeks ago, and it was in it's current 4.0 form. 0 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
