Redwolf Posted July 31, 2009 Share Posted July 31, 2009 Installed in C:/MyGames/Battlefront/Combat Mission Barbarossa to Berlin List of scenarios in the Scenarios folder Worth noting that before I apply the Vista patch and add the three files I can open the game and all those scenarios are listed to play, as soon as I apply the patch it's only these. Where does it get the Biderman from? I notice that the two others visible as existing twice in the directory, one with commas in the filenames and one without. Nuke those. Any effect of the *.dll? 0 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
pixelbaron Posted July 31, 2009 Share Posted July 31, 2009 Took out the files with the commas, still only lists those three scenarios. Took out the ones without the commas and left the ones with the commas and there are no scenarios. Took out all six of the files, there are no scenarios. Removing the *.dll doesn't help, still only those three scenarios and that's it. If I replace the new .exe with the old .exe all the scenarios come back, but according to the developers the new .exe isn't doing anything with the list. 0 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Redwolf Posted July 31, 2009 Share Posted July 31, 2009 And you are sure this isn't some Adminstrator versus mortal user issue? 0 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Eigenmatrix Posted August 1, 2009 Share Posted August 1, 2009 Hi, I just purchased the vista upgrade for CMBB. I successfully entered my key, and the game launched. Unfortunately, once I'm in the game, all of the information text fields are solid white with no text! It is also more difficult to move around the map. Any help is valuable. -Eigen 0 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Piledriver Posted August 2, 2009 Share Posted August 2, 2009 OK I deleted that dll file but still crashes. Then I did a new clean install, started the game without patch with no problem. Installed the patch and this time it even didnt asked me to enter the license number, it immediately crashed. Anydody with Vista 64 for whom this patch worked? If so what game version do you have? Anthology, CDV stand alone or download from Battlefron? 0 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Redwolf Posted August 2, 2009 Share Posted August 2, 2009 The next step is to isolate the problem to determine whether Vista64 (maybe in combination with just ATI or just NVidia) or CDV's CMBB version is responsible. I don't recall "works for me" confirmation for either. But a Vista64 incompatibility would now make an easier target to explain things. 0 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Piledriver Posted August 2, 2009 Share Posted August 2, 2009 OK, in summary: Vista 64, Geforce 8800GTX (newest driver), CDV version of CMBB, crashes at startup 0 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Sandeu Posted August 2, 2009 Share Posted August 2, 2009 I run all the CM games on Vista 64. First turn off UAC "User Account Control". Second, install the game in either C:\Program Files(x86), or in there own folder. Don't install them in the "C:\Program Files" directory. Oh and run as Administrator. If you are having the white out text and slow performance in game, I'm guessing you are running a ATI graphics card, there is a user fix for the text (I can't remember where, but I know it is here), but the poor performance is a ATI driver issue I think. 0 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
SargeFry71 Posted August 3, 2009 Author Share Posted August 3, 2009 Sandau, I have UAC off and CMBB is in a distinct folder in x86. Still doesn't do a thing. 0 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
malfuriouspete Posted August 4, 2009 Share Posted August 4, 2009 I have the CDV version, I patched the game to 1.04 and it works fine for me. I am also running Vista 64bit I just did what the patch install readme said to do and when I played the game the first time, I right clicked on the .exe icon and "ran as administrator" to be sure. The game is installed in C:\program files (x86) directory 0 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Instead, tell us what the bloody thing said. 0 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
SargeFry71 Posted August 4, 2009 Author Share Posted August 4, 2009 Not to sound like a "Me, me, me!" type but does anyone have any more ideas on the original issue? I have given all the info that there is to give and I am at a loss here. I rely on the forum as customer service has been ignoring my email for six days now and I hold out little hope. 0 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Redwolf Posted August 4, 2009 Share Posted August 4, 2009 What we need is a larger scale poll where everybody, including those people for which it works (that's important, too) give all the info. Should be a fresh thread with a "everybody who tried the Vita patch successfully/unsuccessfully please post here" title. You should also p.m. every single person who reported problems if they don't post on their own. Since this forum is set up to not have polls and no editing of your own posts I don't feel to lead that effort. What we need to knows: - OS? - graphics card? - graphics driver and DX version? - CDV or BFC? - if CDV, the anthology with no safedisk or the single-game version? - specific problem symptoms (crash, scenarios missing?) - if error message, the contents of the message (duh) Maybe I'll start later but since I never bought Vista myself (I just want to keep CMx1 alife) I might not be 100% suitable. 0 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
