Per the subject line, and TIA!

UPDATE - both problems fixed. Apoc's suggestion worked, I went into Control Panel/Mouse/Pointers and chose Windows Standard. That seemed to fix the box-behind-mouse problem. Switching to Single Chip in the 3dfx Anti-Aliasing setup fixed the text corruption after escape problem. If I switched to FSAA 2X or 4X, the text would be corrupted after returning from being minimized. So it seems the choices are play with Single Chip and escape all you want, or play with FSAA on, and don't press escape.

XPAV, I have the V5-5500 too, and I have all the exact same problems you do, box-behind-mouse, and when I press escape and come back the text is all garbled (did you say you found a fix for that issue?)

I don't know if anyone brought this up, as I admittedly didn't read all the responses here, but we could just as well ask "How do Americans feel about slavery, NOW?"
I don't see much difference. Both involved stealing the lives of the innocent. America is no saint either (I'm American). The whole friggin' world is bent toward evil.

Murfreesboro TN here, got mine yesterday!

I just got the full version today, and I'd like to list all my complaints here. Man! Where do I begin? I'm so steamed right now. Ok, here's my list of complaints.
1.
2.
3.
4.
and furthermore,
5.
6.
And there you have it folks. That's a list of everything I've found wrong with the game. There better be a 0 byte patch soon
-
I'm actually considering purchasing a second copy to support them. This is a great operation. Here's hoping they don't get bought out by Microsoft!
-
I got the full version today (yeah!) and I"m having a few graphical annoyances. First,in the menus, the mouse will leave a square block where I clicked last. Second, while in the game, if I press Esc to go to the desktop, then return to the game, it badly distorts the text on the screen. I don't know how to recover it, except to exit the game and restart it.
My specs:
P3-650
Voodoo5 5500
384 MB SDRAM
Intellimouse Explorer
nothing overclocked. I've tried disabling the Intellimouse software, and tried changing the windows color depth from 32 to 16 bit. I have all the latest drivers for everything (I'm stickler on that stuff).

I would like to second the comment about the great manual. It's very high quality. It's a shame the "big" publishers don't have the same standards. What a great job, not only on the game, but the manual too.
Hats off to the troops at BTS.

Hi all, what a great day, CM has arrived! Now, since I'm kind of new to these boards, I was wondering if someone could tell me the best place to get the best scenarios. I've already got the Mad Dog Mod Pack, but I'm looking for scenarios too. I saw where one guy said he already had 73 MB in add-ons!
Thanks for any suggestions, and happy gaming!
-
Madmatt, WAY TO GO! Thanks for the mod pack, I also got CM today in the mail, and can't wait to see the mods!
Keep up the good, make that great, work!
-
ME TOO! WOOHOO ... Murfreesboro, TN! God Bless BTS and the USPS!

thomasj, am I understanding you correctly to say that 3DFX verified that there is an installer problem? and the fix they give you worked? Reason I ask is because this fix has been floating aroung the V5 boards for a few days now, and some are scoffing it at it. I know it works, because I tried it, and it sped my V5 up a lot.
-
Check your bank accounts, folks! I only preordered about a month ago, and they've already processed mine! Hoping for Monday!!
-
I saw that too
I think it's a good thing too, because his site gets about 10,000 hits a day. Hopefully, that'll translate into more sales for BTS. -
The V3-3500 is a little faster than the 3000, and it has TV out capability. IMO, it compares evenly to the TNT2.
Also availble now are the new Voodoo5 5500's which has Full-screen anti-aliasing ability, and this translates to smoothing out the jaggies on the CM battlefield. I have one and it's awesome.

First off, everyone should sign Teach's pledge not to make copies of CM. (See the thread "A final plea ..."
But I would like to make another pledge and hope folks will sign it, too. I pledge to SPREAD THE WORD about CM. As an example, it was days after the CM Gold Demo was released, and Avault still had nothing about it up at their site. I emailed them and described what a great game it was, and told them about the demo. The next morning, I woke up and whaddya know? the demo was posted at Avault. Spread the word, write to game mag and website editors and tell them how great CM is. Games marketed like this need a grass roots effort to make it really take off, and we all want this game to succeed so there will be others like it in the future. BTS deserves a huge success on this one, and so let's do our part and help them out. It's games like CM that make computer gaming a great hobby.
SELL IT BOYS!!
-
I hereby sign the pledge too. No copies here. I love this game, and I love the type of dedication and hard work that these guys have made towards this effort. Best wishes to BTS, and a great big thank you.
(total newbie) where are the best mod/add-on sites?
