MadMatt, Thanks for the update. I cannot wait to play the full game. -misery

Gordon, Let me be the first to say, "Thats a nice King Tiger and I want it".

Uwe, Did you do anything special to transfer your campaign? I've yet to move from 1.00 and was wondering if you have any tips? misery

Master or not the Excel workbook you created is a marvelous tool. Glad you like the coversheet, it fits perfectly into the clear front cover sleeve of most 3 ring binders. The screenshot is just from a random QB, my current core force is a platoon of Pzkw IIIe fighting their way through south USSR. Thanks again. misery

THANK YOU SO MUCH! Robert, Your campaign rules are awesome and you are a master of Excel macros. Thanks so much for making them available to fans of CMBB. My wife made a coversheet for my RobO’s Quick Campaign rules binder, which is linked below if anyone else would like to use it. Thanks again. Sincerely, misery RobO's Rules Coversheet

Thanks Oddball_E8, I use all the FoN Soundmods and love em. Thanks for your hard work. I'm gettin'the move mod now.

Thanks. I'm lucky to have a wife that supports my hardware addiction. I just wish ATI would fix the issues with CMBO/CMBB.

No luck Lisse. Cat 3.7 still has the white text problem in CMBB with 2x, 4x, and 6x AA.

Well said ggallagher! You hit the nail on the head.

I'm curious... do you know, off the top of your head, of another game that was so affected by nVidia's transition from 30 series to 40 series? Of course other games have graphics issues I'm not denying that. It's just that I've seen two issues (white text & FSAA) that neither Battlefront nor nVidia seem willing to address. OK the white text issues seems to be gone but it took a while for nVidia to fix it. As you correctly stated there are solutions. Using outdated drivers or ALT-TAB'ing, the latter of the two is quite simple and effective. I'm just wondering if something could be done by the developers to address the issue, since the graphics card manufactures seem to ingnore our cries for help. Are the game's developers at the mercy of nVidia and ATI or is it simply that it would take so much work and run the risk of breaking something else in the process?

It is odd that the ONLY games I have problems with are CMBO and CMBB and I play A LOT of different games. Hummm... anyway. Since it seems unlikely that neither ATI nor nVidia are going to fix "their" driver issues. Is there anything that can be done with the code, as a workaround, to correct the graphics problems. Has any effort been made, short of saying "The drivers are broken?"

Terrapin, I have an Intel 845PE chipset motherboard with a Geforce 4 and I still have the video problem described by pcelt. So I don't think it's a motherboard issue. It seems to be a GF4 issue.

Thanks wwb_99, Too bad it didn't help, I figured it was a long shot.

Since it's officially out (and haven't tried it since I'm stuck at work) I was wondering if just maybe it helped with the GF4 (40.xx & 41.xx drivers) and XP missing text problem. I kinda doubt it will make any difference.

Havermeyer, You're longing for the same detail one sees when a main gun round causes damage, huh? I've often wondered exactly what damage was caused by close assault on armor, but hey as mike the wino pointed out, revel in your success especially against a KV.

Now see this thread did turn out fun after all.

Wow Seanachai you have a lot of unresolved hostility! If you find his post worthless move along, lest you waste more of your apparently quite precious time. But, humm... no you took the time not only to read his post but to ridicule Mr. Pollock and point out in detail your perceptions of how his post fell short of your stringent guidelines. Whatever.

Texture sharpening effectively doubles (I know you can't double zero) the current level of Antistropic filtering. i.e.: 0x = 1x 1x = 2x 2x = 4x (only GF3 & GF4Ti) 4x = 8x (only GF3 & GF4Ti)

Thanks Hubert.

Treeburst155, Here's a link to 30.87 for 2k & XP if you still need it. Haven't tried them so I don't know if they will work. 30.87 Download

Sounds to me like they're not working. The "old" 30.82 drivers work with 4xAA, but not 2x or Quincunx. So I guess they are broken too, just not as broken as the 40.xx series.

JC_Hare, Do you have issues with pre-game menu text using the 41.03 drivers? I have virtually the same setup and cannot use the 41.03s because the text disappears. Thanks and sorry bout the off topic post.

nVidia produces great drivers, frankly the only games that have ever given my probs are CMBO and CMBB. As for their competition ATI has serious problems with drivers just look at the Radeon series, great silicon with oh so crappy drivers. They have amazing IQ but are always buggy. FYI - I use Omega's drivers omegacorner.com , they are based on nVidia' 30.82 drivers but optimized for IQ. On my Ti4400 they work great with 4xAA and 2xAF.

Unsurprisingly, CMBO runs like a breeze on Apple Powerbooks and iBooks. No overheating. So the answer is, if you want to get a laptop, get a decent one, get an Apple.</font>
