Downloaded and fired up the demo today, but I'm getting something like 1 or 2 FPS, even in the menus. This has had to have come up before, but I can find very little about it. I tried the original CMSF demo, and it worked fine on my machine, so I don't know what the problem is with this one. It's an older machine, but should run it: Athlon XP 2800+ 2 GB Ram Nvidia 6600 GT SB Audigy 2

Ummm... Bump. Anyone????

I think they were just telling us the info they would need to diagnose whatever issue we were having, not necessarily to post it in that thread. bump Georgii

Hi fellas. I've got an Acer 5610 laptop: Intel Core Duo 2.0 Ghz Intel graphics/sound 2Gb RAM Windows Vista Home Premium. I've tried the 'affinity' fix already, and vista won't allow me to install the intel power management fix for XP. Graphics, sound, pointing device, and CPU drivers are all up to date. When I fire up the demo, it takes me to the menu screen, where all the text is whacked out. If I alt-tab out, and come back in, it's better, but still corrupted (I don't know how best to describe this). In any case, when I fire up one of the scenarios, it loads, the bottom half of the screen comes up (the interface), but I don't get any 3D graphics up top, it just remains as whatever was up before (the loading screen). Any help? I've searched, but didn't come across this particular issue (There were similar issues, but none of the fixes for those issues worked for this one) Thanks, Jeff

OK, I lied. Download Accelerator plus opens 4 connections to the FTP server, but the first connection it makes never gets past 39Kb. Hence, my download got to 75%, then died. DAP splits a file into 4, then downloads them all at the same time, but the first 25% won't get past 39Kb. (I hope this makes sense to you guys) Any Ideas? Jeff Ital St. Louis, MO

I'm not sure what's the matter, but every time I try to download the demo, it gets to about 30Kb, then dies. I've tried with both the standard IE downloader, and also with the "getright" program. Same on both. Is there a mirror somewhere where I could fetch it? Update: I just downloaded and installed "Download accelerator plus", and it seems to be working. No need to reply here.

I have been an ASL player for about 5 years now. When CMBO first came out, I really considered selling all of my ASL stuff (A LOT!), but in the end, I decided there's really no substitute for it. Sittin in front of a computer monitor just can't compare to sitting across the table from someone and whooping it up when you get a shock-kill on their King Tiger with a 60mm mortar (OK, so it's gamey, but it's fun). There's a visceral thrill and anxiety playing ASL that I just can't seem to find with CMBO (and I imagine CMBB, as well). So, alas, I shant sell my ASL stuff, and, although I don't play as often as I used to (I admit, it IS tedious) I will still attend tourneys and such on occasion (1 straight week of ASL @ Oktoberfest is pure heaven, although you're pretty brain-fried by the time it's over). Well, I'll stop my babbling now, but I'll always play ASL.... Jeff Ital St. Louis, MO

Any "in the know" ASL player would know that you only need to take a PAATC (pronounced "patsy") when advancing into close combat with an AFV or when participating in reaction fire! NOT when firing a PF! MUAHAHAHAHA! Georgii

Tamiya are alway great kits. I'm sure they make a hetzer. Not sure about the plastic tracks, though, I think they still supply vinyl (?) tracks with their older kits. You can go to www.tamiya.com and see their stuff. Another good brand is Dragon (DML), they would have the plastic tracks that your looking for. Georgii2222

No, no. As I said before, many months ago, that's actually St. Louis Rams Quarterback Kurt Warner. Look at him! Gotta be. Coincedence? I think not! El Jeffe St. Louis, MO

I was under the impression that the AGP aperture size was supposed to be set to <= half of your total system RAM. Was I mistaken in this assumption? El Jeffe Georgii2222@hotmail.com [This message has been edited by Georgii2222 (edited 07-24-2000).]

Thanks, Mark IV. I'm in the middle of this scenario now, and had no Idea the Germies had such stuff. Oh well, chalk it up to aerial recon or something El Jeffe Georgii2222@hotmail.com

The question I pose is this: Will two crews, the same experience level, in identical situations, have some kind of randomized "sub experience level"? i.e., is there a "lower teir" regular and "upper tier" regular, is there anything like this? I just notice sometimes that one vehicle of a given experience level will do squat, but the other, same type vehicle, same experience level will be super-M10, super-Hellcat, what have you. Granted, not the EXACT same situation, but I was just curious. El Jeffe Georgii2222@hotmail.com Jeff Ital St. Louis, MO [This message has been edited by Georgii2222 (edited 07-09-2000).]

Uhhh.... No. Actually, It does, but I don't see what reason you would have to do that. You can rotate the map freely ingame, so I can't see a need, unless I'm reading it wrong. El Jeffe Georgii2222@hotmail.com
