It worked for me yesterday as well.

I tried the fix and I'm still getting the error.

You make that sound like a bad thing... ahhhh, the good old days... As for the rest of it, now I'm doomed to wishing it were Monday. It's like a nightmare I can't wake up from.

Yes please!

Very excited about the patch... but didn't see anything about an MP lobby. Is that going to be in?

Thank goodness! Very good news. This game has more untapped potential than any I've seen in ages. That said, I'll add to the 'is this in' list: Anything on the 'end game'. Still sometimes struggle with the 'hunt the enemy to the last man' thing.

Second that! A lot to love about this game... just needs to some TLC.

Had the same problem here: Voices overlapping Hangs shortly after that. Removing the AMD optimizer fixed the sound issue and makes the game playable. Still hangs intermittently. AMD 64 X2 3800+ 7600GT XP Pro SP2

Just loaded up the demo... running AMD X2 3800+, nvidia 7600GT, XP 1gig RAM, experiencing all kind of weird problems (sound issues, visual artifacts, etc.), installed the above fixes... runs like a dream. Thanks! Leaves me scramblin' for the credit card.

I believe that Rune covered this in some detail. You may want to do a search for his recent input. What you're being told here is correct... the encyclopedia is less accurate than actual game calculations.

I agree with your take. Smaller battles would be very cool and the game does seem ripe for 'em. I've been playing the full game some and so far the scenarios have tended to be fairly large. I think once the modders get cranking the trend will be smaller. Also, there may be smaller battles in the full game that I'm missing.

I'm basically with PSY. I'd prefer WWII but really any other modern conflict (from say the Spanish Civil War forward), aside from the current Middle East setting, would be great. I'll buy the game as soon as it's released but I'm still a bit disappointed with the subject matter of CM:SF. Just a little too immediate.

M Hofbauer: In the case of one of the posters (Billybob) there was a threat of violence. Sounds bannable to me. As for the others, I think there was a clear pattern of abuse. I'd read all their posts before judging too harshly. As a long time lurker, I've seen some heated debates but it appears that the demeanor of these posters was unusually harsh by Battlefront standards. I'm not sorry they're gone. They were given PLENTY of rope.
