Well, I have just downloaded the full game again, re-installed it and...surprise! it is still v1.02... As I cannot install the 1.03 patch for some reason (Battlefront's people couldn't tell me why) I will have to wait until the full game will be updated to v.103. Anyway, it's my fault, I placed the question in the wrong place. Cheers, P.

Tx, I didn't know that, all I saw was the news about the patch itself. cheers, P.

Any hint about when the main game will be updated to v1.03? I can't upgrade it from v1.02 despite my efforts, have to re-install it from the start... Cheers, Panta

Tx, Budge4, that's precisely what I have been advised to do by the friendly and helpful people (this is not an advertising!) of the e-license department. As soon as the downloadable version is updated to 1.03, I'll do it. I tried everything, like de-activating the antivirus, but it didn't work. Quite odd, actually, since the game itself (1.02)installed smoothly and runs very (very!) well. Tx, Panta

Now I see that I should have waited a little more before downloading it, it would have spared me a lot of trouble getting the patched version (I got 1.02)! Cheers, P.

I downloaded it directly from Battlefront online store. The first time I tried it, from one of the servers, it gave me a "file corrupt" error, the second, from another, the problem reported above. Cheers, P.

I have just downloaded the game, thinking that it would already come v.1.03. It did't, so I downloaded the corrsponding and tried to install it, several times. It didn't work, giving me every time this error: AppName: cmsf_v103_battlefront_patch.exe AppVer: 0.0.0.0 ModName: cmsf_v103_battlefront_patch.exe ModVer: 0.0.0.0 Offset: 000030dc Now what do I do? Best rgds. Panta

Pete, Congrats! Your map looks very realistic and full of tactical possibilities. Are you planning to post it somewhere? I would like to give it a try, I am not too fond of flat desert terrain... Or else if you can post it to me: panta@netgate.com.uy I promise to give you some feed back and eventually create some setup (No AI, it takes too long, better play e-mail). Cheers, Panta

Actually I found a picture that may help, but I don't know how to attach it to the forum's message. Cheers, Panta

Fellows, I am sorry to disagree with some of you about Syria's topography. I traveled from Amman, in Jordan, to Damascus by land (by colective taxi, with a couple of bedouins in the back seat) and from Damascus to Palmyra and back in 2000. The Syrian landscape is quite variated, depending of its proximity to the coast, but there are deserts nevertheless. Moreover, it was winter, so it snowed when I arrived in Damascus and I also saw the desert covered by a thin layer of snow along my journey to Palmyra (several hundred klicks). Unfortunately, I was warned not to take photographs from the bus, so I cannot illustrate my words. Actually you can find everything you like, except lush vegetation. Cheers, Panta

As I said in the other thread with the same topic (sorry, there was an internet problem and I ended up repeating it), I didn't buy I yet, but plan to do so soon and I want to know which version is more suitable (if any) for the purpose explained. Tx & cheers, Panta

I didn't purchased it yet, I have been collecting info, and so far, the game plays very well in my systems, excepted for a minor luminosity problem I referred to in another thread, so I am almost decided. But I want to know about my portable disk and what version to purchase (either electronic download, disc, etc). Cheers, Panta

I have the games I play by email (CMBB, CMAK and TacOps) installed on a portable Toshiba 100GB hard disk I use to carry my photo files back and forth to work. It saves me disk room and keeps all the files together. And I can play it either at home or during spare time at work. Is it possible (because of the electronic registration)just to install CMSF in that portable disk but to be able to play in different computers without having to un-install and re-install the game each time? (I have several computers at home and at work, only need one to play but I cannot say in advance in which one). Cheers, Panta

Absolutely not. The screen changes abruptely from one turn to the other (while playing the night scenario in the demo)to a point that I can't see the units at all. I hope that I won't have to buy myself a night scope in terms to play the game!

I employ a 100GB portable disk to take archives from work to home and viceversa. Therefore, I found quite practical to install several games (CMBB, CMAK, TacOps)I use to pbem play at the office in my spare time directly into it. I launch them directly from there and the office's computers remain clean. Is that compatible with the electronic registration? I mean, if I install it first at home, then on my portable disk, will I be able to play it from the latter in different machines without having to uninstall CMSF from my portable disk and re-install it every time? (two installations in total)
