It wouldn't have helped if you had. You brought to my attention that the wrong manual is with the Steam CMBN installation. It doesn't have the PBEM++ information in it. I grab what I posted from the manual that installs with Cold War.
-
Correct. As with the Battlefront version, when you install the game everything is installed. The license keys "unlock" the content. From the how to get your Steam key post:
-
In Steam, right click on the game in your Library. In the dropdown menu that appears move the cursor over Manage and then select "browse local files". From there you will see the Game Files folder to put scenarios, saved games, etc in. You will also find the Data folder to place your mods. You have found something that needs to be fixed, without even intentionally doing so. The Steam game manual is not the most current manual. We need to correct that. If it were the correct manual it would say this on page 30: .

Steam Strategy Fest Sale 2023

Whenever Matrix and Steam have had sales we managed to stamp down our greed long enough to match their pricing. -
Steam Strategy Fest Sale 2023
BFCElvis replied to BornGinger's topic in Combat Mission - General Discussion
Yeah......It has definitely been discussed. Not necessarily for Steam but updating all of the demos. What keeps getting in the way is that there aren't enough hours in the day. Heck, the Cold War demo hasn't been finished. Does Steam do demos? None of the games that I ever purchased on Steam had them. I also have access to every Slitherine/Matrix title and, although I haven't been through them all, I haven't seen any demos in those games. -

It sounds like they (finally) sent the initial turn of your second battle. PBEM games for CM, both PBEM++ and regular PBEM battles, the first file each player gets is to only ceare an ingame password. -

Have you opened a Help Desk ticket? If not, do so here: Help Desk -
This is all fantastic news!!!!!!!
-
I've gotten a bunch of confirmations that 23.4.2 has fixed things for the players. Give it a try. You can always roll it back and let me know if it doesn't.

Only use the license keys for activation. For installation, use only your 4.0 Big Bundle purchase for those games.

Joe, I used your forum email address to see if I could find your account in the store. I think that I see what is happening. I only found 1 account and all of the early orders that I found were "mail only" orders. Back when we had the option of "mail only", "download only" or both the mail only orders had the license keys on the CD cases. That is why they don't appear in your account. They are on the physical CD cases.
-
If you're looking in your account and not seeing the other purchase then the chances are that you have more than 1 account (more common than you'd think). Open a Help Desk ticket and we'll get it sorted out for you: Help Desk

Yes, that is the glitch that Lethaface saw and Probus and GeorgeMC saw in the Cold War tournament. That will (should) self correct. Maybe tomorrow ...maybe when the next turns are played. We're looking into it but I'm not super concerned about it at this time. My #1 concern is that the in game end scores are what appear on the leaderboard when a battle is finished. My #2 concern is that, during most of the tournament, players have a loose sense about who has dealt out more causalities. The glitch that you're seeing could be somefink that the game is pushing out or could be somefink that the Slitherine servers aren't processing correctly. There have been a couple sightings of it but in all cases it's fixed itself. -

That makes sense. Does the score go out as soon as both people watched the movie? Or after 1 person has watched the movie? Or the turn after both people have watched it? I don't know. The thing that I can the absolute most about is that the end game AAR screen scores match what the leaderboard has once a battle is completed. The rest is only a loose idea of who is causing more casualties than the other. And that rarely is a reflection on who wins a battle, once other victory conditions are added at the end. -

@IanL as the person who is seeing the battles from the other side......Is this how it has played out with what you see on your end? Or are you seeing casualties that maybe Andrew isn't? Driving me nuts? It's a short drive to drive me nuts. -

That's the plan. The next will be Normandy. Before we start it we want a good idea how the new scoring system is working. -

BFCElvis replied to BFCElvis's topic in Combat Mission Shock Force 2
Wow. You got a perfect score in one battle. Well done! You should definitely have seen the end game AAR for both battles. All of the testing I did resulted in getting them both. I suppose that it's possible that he didn't complete the last turn that would have generated it for you. It's the surrender game that you didn't get, correct? I'll make sure to check that as well. Thanks. -

My man over at Slitherine/Matrix is planning to reach out to the tournament "no shows" tomorrow. He has access that I don't have. -

You played it? Or tried to play it already? I'm back in....the servers are up. My opponent still hasn't played their turn. -

Coolio!!! I'm out of position for checking it. -

Funny you should say that. My guy at Slitherine just sent me a message with the same screenshot. I was able to duplicate it by trying to log in through the game. Our best guess is that the servers are down. They are checking into it.
