I see that you joined the forum in 2016. If my memory is correct, that is about the time the 4.0 Upgrades came out. Chances are pretty good that every base game that you purchased was using Game Engine 4, so that's a fair observation but to those who've been around for the whole thing there were big changes from Game Engine 0 (that's what I consider CMSF1 and the Afghan game) and Game Engine 1 (CMBN) and then the 3 engine upgrades after that. Steve has announced that a 5.0 Upgrade is in the works. The point is that, unlike the original 3 CM1 games, what you're asking for is what we've been doing. In other words.....your idea is a good one. That's why we do it. This is actively being worked on right now. The original goal had been to release it with PBEM++ but that was being held up long enough. More detailas as they become available. I don't think it's too much of a stretch to say that some modules require the same amount of work as base games. Do, almost. The 2 most recent modules come to mind. Rome to Victory and Fire and Rubble were both huge time and resource commitments. Did I deliver?

Perfectly said, Pelican Pal. I hope that @Simcoe takes this advise.

There is an official Discord: https://discord.com/channels/740556521724706876/740556523134255218 And an unofficial one: https://discord.com/channels/750359959237034206/799303603029278760 I'm only going to touch on one of the things you mentioned: Price: We've been around for 22 years. That's a long time in the gaming business. One of the reasons is because we know what we need to do to survive. We are able to anticipate with the number of sales for what we release. And we know how much revenue we need to keep the doors open, feed our families and live "normal" lives. From there it's a matter of maths. "We're gonna sell about X number of units and we need to make Y total dollars. So, Y divided by X will be the selling price." That said, now that we have a few of the games on Steam the X number is different and the maths change. For instance, we do have sales from time to time now. Such as CMSF2 and Black Sea which are both currently on sale.

We will probably run it indefinitely like we do the Big Bundles for the different games.

They will be when the Steam patch goes live.

A fixed version of this campaign can now be found on the Patches page. https://www.battlefront.com/patches

I have created a download for a couple of reworked campaigns. One was broken with the 1.03 release the other on @The_Captwanted to tweak. When the next patch is released we'll put them in the patch but, for now, you can get them on the Patches page. https://www.battlefront.com/patches

I thought that it was going to be today. Possibly tomorrow.

Let's everyone bring down the personal snipes a bit, ok? And I mean everyone.

See if this is the issue: https://battlefront.mojohelpdesk.com/help/article/136663

Yes and yes.

I can dig it. I feel the same....And I don't even have a Mac

They have it as of yesterday. Monday maybe? Tuesday? I don't know for sure. Once it's out of our hands it's out of our control.

This is very important! Mac does not get PBEM++ and will not. It is a Windows only app.

Already done. I'm moving the old ones out now. So if you see 2 go for the new one.

HHmmm....It just worked for me. Give it another try.

Whatever link that you have for the upgrade is what you need. Here it is so that you have it handy: https://battlefront.sharefile.com/d-se19f6c4b10ad4e7b83e544b267fe4a98 Hopefully, this will get you fully installed and give you different results when you go to activate the game.

The patch has just been released. It's a fairly big patch. The Battlefront version skipped the 1.02 patch but it is part of the 1.03 patch. Here are the patch notes from the ReadMe: https://www.battlefront.com/patches ******************************** v1.03 PATCH NOTES ******************************** PBEM++ FIXES * Version check added to Steam version * Added ability to delete a player's own Challenges * Brackets with number at the end of Challenge names have been removed * Login button in Options has been renamed ******************************** v1.02 PATCH NOTES ******************************** NEW FEATURES * Slitherine PBEM++ capability has been added. The game engine manual (found in game install directory) details this system on pages 30-31. (Windows only) QUICK BATTLES * Adjusted point values of most tanks and tank hunters. Purchase cost was increased by 15-25%, depending on the specific model, with more modern models tending towards the higher end of this range. * Thermal sights on a vehicle contribute more to raising purchase cost. VEHICLES AND EQUIPMENT * Tanks without laser rangefinders are battle sight zero'd to 1200 meters. * TOWs should now cause major suppressive effects / injuries if fired indoors. * Fixes to minor artwork issues with BMP-2 / BMP-2K. TO&E AND FORMATIONS NOTE: Most of the changes listed here will not be reflected in scenarios created before v1.02, and will only appear in newly created scenario files using v1.02. * Added x2 rifles with grenade launchers to US Engineer squads. * Changes to US Infantry Company Weapons Platoon: - Weapons Platoon HQ now has x3 men (a platoon XO and a radioman added), and a Jeep with driver. - Added a driver to the jeeps of the mortar teams. The jeep also stocks extra mortar ammo now. - 60mm Offmap option will now properly have x3 mortars. - Weapons Platoon now has the option to use 81mm mortars instead of 60mm mortars. * US Infantry Battalion Mortar Platoon now has option to be either M29A1 81mm mortars, or off-map M107mm mortars (was previously just 81mm mortars). * US Bradley Mech Infantry Rifle Company fire support team's Bradley swapped for an M113. * Added US fire support formations for sections of x3 60mm mortars and x3 81mm mortars. * Added Soviet 2S3 formations equipped with cluster ammunition. BUG FIXES * FIXED: Some minor flaws in the logic that assigns team equipment. * FIXED: M113 series vehicles were seeing through smoke. * FIXED: Various crashes.

Hi Hafer. Any Combat Mission game that you have that uses Game Engine 4 has only 1 download that is needed to install the entire game. You never have to do the convoluted step by step installation process ever again. In the case of CMFB, the only thing that you need to download and install the entire game is the Upgrade 2 download that you have listed. It will install the base game, the 4.0 Upgrade and every patch right up to 2.03 patch. Then use the Activate New Products utility and enter the base game and 4.0 keys.

Badger must be the ticket that I got on the Help Desk. I have only gotten one. My initial suggestion was to check with Steam since it works on the Battlefront version but not the Steam version. I was actually hopeful that they already knew about the issue and had a fix. They directed him back to me. There are people that are running it with no problem on Windows 11. It's possible that it is a different issue that has nothing to do with Windows 11 and others without Windows 11 are experiencing it too. My daughter has been playing it on Windows 11 without a problem. So, it isn't a problem that affects all Windows 11 users. The Battlefront v1.02 patch will be out very soon (yes, I said very). An hour or so ago I left it with him that we'd see if the Battlefront version still runs once the v1.02 patch is installed. So, that's where it's at right now. 1 ticket and we're trying to figure it out.

I remembered that I had one of these tickets the other day. I just matched up the email addresses and it's the same guy. He's up and running. All is right in the world.

Are you sure that nothing is running? Weird story with this one.....There was a guy and I that beat our heads against the wall for a long time with that message. By chance he noticed a sound suite program running in the background. He didn't even know the suite was on his computer, let alone that it was running. He turned it off and BOOM. the message went away. So far, we've only seen this would sound related programs running in the back. I've gathered a list of know program but there may be other not yet discovered programs. Here is the list of programs that we have seen cause it: Realtek HD Audio Manger Asus ROG Sonic Studio Nahimic Sonic Suite II RivaTuner AI Suite 3 If this guy hadn't stumbled on it we might still be trying to figure it out today.

We just released a new new thing on Tuesday. Can we get a week or month or somefink before the calls for somefink new?

Have you been holding off on Combat Mission Shock Force 2, Black Sea and Cold War until you could get a deal on all 3? Well, now is the time to get them. Here are the details: Combat Mission Super Bundle I

Oh. See that. Learn somefink new everyday.
