I was ahving the same problem after ustalling OS8.6. It was wrking fine with OS8.5. It seems as though there is a conflict with a combination of ATI/OS8.6/CM. I had to disable the ATI resource manager for the probem to go away. The game will run but the graphics appear a little more primitive. Hopefully a repair patch can be worked out soon.

Basicaly it boils down to a very cluttered screen. 'nuff said...end of argument.

Coffee and DingDongs at night (to saty awake) and for daytime it popcorn and ice cold soda.

I think the name says it all. (Although I have dual citizenship)

I doubt very much that the delay is the fault of BTS or USPS. i'd have to say its probably with Customs. Sometimes those Customs officials tend to go on a headtrip. Whenever I fly up to visit the biggest pain in the rear is with customs. The immigration officers are usuallt pretty decent.

<BLOCKQUOTE>quote:</font><HR>Originally posted by Big Time Software: CommanderC, please read my last response above. There are many reasons why we do not have an interest in a downloadable option. The market is small for such a feature, and therefore we would have to duplicate our services. I live in the US and only have a 28.8 modem connection. I'll be damned if I buy anything that takes 30 hours to download since I would get disconnected before that time period is up. And I don't have to pay for every minute I use the phone like most of the rest of the planet Earth. And like the VAST MAJORITY of our customers, I want my manual in print. The first lesson for staying in business is knowing your customer. While there are some that would like a downloadable version, the vast majority do not. So if we chose online only we would have to survive a ****storm of Biblical dimensions. No thanks. Steve<HR></BLOCKQUOTE> Well put. 'nuff said.

Its only a couple of weeks away.

Good Job, Cris!!!

Playing on a teal iMac....Mac version of course.

Just thought I'd give your spirits a lift. Lately I've been having only a 3-4 day turnover on cards I've mailed from North Carolina to Calgary. They're just greeting cards sent regular airmail so CM should be getting there rather qucikly...unless customs sticks its nose into it.

Although I'm not actually living in Canada right this minute....I DID GET MINE TODAY!!!

I made my way to the mailbox about 1215 and it looked like it was pretty full. All of a sudden the cloudy skies parted and a ray of sunshine showed me the way to the "Holy Grail" ,It had arrived about 2 days sooner than i thought it would. I had only pre-ordered anout June 4. It must be all that clean livin'. The game has more than lived up to my expectations. ( although the wife cant quite figure out what all the excitement is about)

<BLOCKQUOTE>quote:</font><HR>Originally posted by aka_tom_w: I'd love to hear from the first Canadian to receive their copy of the game. How long is customs likely to hold us up? Anyone who has seen their Visa bill: What was the total price in Canadian Dollars? How do we arrange to pay the GST ? any thoughts on this? Thanks I suspect some of us should see the game by the end of the week.... -tom w <HR></BLOCKQUOTE> whats the current exchange rate? GST is probably collected the same as any other mail/email order. I cant tell you how they collect as I headed south long before the GST went into effect.

<BLOCKQUOTE>quote:</font><HR>Originally posted by patboivin: My VISA was billed on June 15, yippeee! I have never been so happy to add something to my VISA balance. Now all I have to do is wait after USPS to send it to the border, then for Canada Post to send it to me. How long will that take, do you think?? <HR></BLOCKQUOTE> Unless the postal unions take a most inopportune time to strike....Naaah. They do that at Christmas.

With Canada Post it could be longer. ...And if the postal union finds out how popular CM is they just might strike like they always do at Christmas.

<BLOCKQUOTE>quote:</font><HR>Originally posted by Renaud: Lanzfeld: I have to agree here. Many vehicle crews also carried other weapons besides pistols such as a SMG. There was some problem with that don't remember what. In any case crews, whatever their weapons, should probably be pretty useless once dismounted for realism purposes, so this omission doesn't bother me too much. But it would be nice to bail out with a smg or carbine or 2 and use them to hold some building as a last ditch! Come to think of it I believe crews of 88's had a single light MG42 issued as well as rifles and smg's. Not that they would be able to fire them while serving the weapon, but after abandoning they could be quite useful (if rallied). Also IIRC you can voluntarity abandon a crew served weapon in the full version or am i imagining things? If that were possible you could spike and abandon the gun if you knew it's time was up, then use the crew as very light infantry. Ren ps bonus points for knowing where the term 'spike' in this usage originated!
