    AT LAST!

    in Combat Mission Archive #4 (2002)

    Kudos to you! smile.gif

    So, if we don't hear from you again soon we can safely assume that you have:

    a) died from a happiness-overload induced cardiac arrest while looking at the unopened package?

    B) hurt yourself gravely because you where ignoring all safty precautions while tearing open the package?

    c) slowly wasted away due to food consumption failure while playing?

    Happy gaming man! :D

    CMBB and CDV

    in Combat Mission Archive #4 (2002)

    Well, I hadn't really tought that I was going to write a "Woohoo, I got it!" post, but I thought perhaps it might be interesting to know that I finally found it here in Norway the other day, only about a month later than the release date... :rolleyes:

    My copy has a sticker saying "Not for sale outside Scandinavia" on it. Can't spot any features that should set it appart from the version released in e.g. England, so I can't say why. One of these days I'd really like an explanation about why CDV sees the need of segmenting the market. What do they gain from it (appart from annoying some of their customers)?

    Oh well, perhaps that's not given us mere mortals to understand...

    Going back to CMBO?

    in Combat Mission Archive #4 (2002)

    Posted

    Just another feeble attempt to get this thread back on-topic:

    Thanks to CDV, I can still only play CMBO. After I get CMBB, I think it will be a long time before I return to CMBO. There is just so much more to select from on the Eastern Front, in terms of equipment, terrain etc.

    Anyway, just my 2 c.

    Why are bombs in lbs?

    Or, as Terry Pratchett and Niel Gaiman said in "Good omens":

    NOTE FOR YOUNG PEOPLE AND AMERICANS: Two Farthings = One Ha'penny. Two Ha'pennies = One Penny. Three Pennies = A Thrupenny Bit. Two Thrupennies = A Sixpence. Two Sixpences = One Shilling, or Bob. Two Bobs = One Florin. One Florin and One Sixpence = Half a Crown. Four Half Crowns = Ten Bob Note. Two Ten Bob Notes = One Pound (or 240 Pennies). One Pound and One Shilling = One Guinea.

    The British resisted decimalized currency for a long time because they thought it was too complicated.

    :D

    Anyone tried the brand new NVidia Drivers?

    in Combat Mission Archive #4 (2002)

    Posted

    Uhh, 30.82 is still the latest official driver, right? The later ones are still beta versions as far as I can tell.

    I have installed 40.71. As I don't have CM:BB yet (thanks to CDV) I don't know the status there. However, I haven't had any infinite loops in nv4_disp.dll after installing it. If Nvidia has finally managed to crack that one, I'll be a very happy camper! smile.gif

    BTS Isn't it about time you opened a CDV whine forum??

    in Combat Mission Archive #4 (2002)

    Posted

    Oh, but they do! They have a web page and a forum for CM:BB. Unfortunately, I'm one of the few who don't speak German, so I'm unable to glean any info from it. :rolleyes:

    And I don't think BFC is going to create a forum where the sole purpose is bitching about their partner... I'm as fed up with CDV as most europeans outside Germany, but even I understand that doing so would be a bad move by BFC! :cool:

    Those of you that have been here a while know that most here are serious gamers who don't blindly follow the pipes. So, until BFC has convinced everybody that the deal with CDV is a beautifull thing, there will be the occasional growl from those feeling left out in the cold.

    If that is to much for someone to bear, I suggest they simply ignore any such threads.

    I really hope CDV keeps their promise and releases CM:BB no later than October the 11th though. If not, it might get a tad hot on this board...

    Why?

    I would have though that when you have a 3D object (e.g. a shell) in a 3D space, it would be possible to attach a viewpoint to it. But then, I'm no 3D programmer! smile.gif

    Mace

    Perhaps because CDV don't answer emails, except with auto-generated "Oh, we're so glad you wrote us!" emails! :(

    And Mace, who do you think is responsible for the deal with CDV? BTS is ultimately calling the shots here.

    BTS has stated time and time again that they are very happy with their arrangement with CDV and I'm sure it helped boost the sale of CMBO quite a lot. However, it feels pretty frustrating when there is no official communication from CDV regarding CM:BB in english. All I know is what I've been able to read on this forum, and the rumours among the local retailers.

    There are of course quite a lot of people that pre-ordered from BTS and hasn't received their games yet either, but no one is questioning BTS effort and capability of supplying their customers with their products.

    CDV on the other hand, could be suspected of ignoring the market outside Germany as there is no info in english what so ever on their web-site about CM:BB. They don't, of course, and I'm pretty sure they have good reasons for delaying, but it would help tremendously if they just could provide us with a little official info! smile.gif

    Cheers!
