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?

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.

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

Thanks. I'm lucky to have a wife that supports my hardware addiction.Originally posted by Gaylord Focker:Sounds like a realy nice rig you have there!
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.Originally posted by Hpt. Lisse:Just wonderin'.
Although the FX5900 I just got yesterday will leave me in Nvidia land for another year. Quite a price to pay for fog table support.

Well said ggallagher! You hit the nail on the head.Originally posted by ggallagher:...
But empirically, it is also clear that the approach is not proving to be a totally effective one, based on the now increasing number of customers who are complaining that the drivers shipping with their new systems are proving incompatible with CMBB.
Thats it...I surrender...YOU ARE RIGHT...now I suggest you concern yourself with improving your effectiveness....

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 Using outdated drivers or ALT-TAB'ing, the latter of the two is quite simple and effective.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,Originally posted by Terrapin:It apparently depends on your motherboard. WWB and others have VIA boards. I have an AMD-761 board and have no problems showing everything with FSAA and Anisotropic on. Otherwise our computers are similar, so it looks like an MB issue.
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)Anyone know what the "texture sharpening" option does under the anti aliasing page 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,Originally posted by Treeburst155:[QB]Well Jerkov, I can't use the 30.87s with WinXP...[QB]
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.
-
Sounds to me like they're not working.The beta 40.72s are working for me in CMBB...My only problem is that anti-aliasing and/or anisotropic filtering seems to totally screw up the display.
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.The GeForce is also very fast. On my system (Athlon 1.2 ghz @ 100 mhz, 512 mb sdram, Windows XP pro), I run CMBB at 1024x768, 4xs FSAA, 8x anisotropic filtering (41.03 drivers) and the game is very smooth on all but the largest scenarios.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.NVidia's never had a high rep re: the quality control of thei drivers, aparently it's worceI don't think my next card will be one of theirs
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>Originally posted by Andreas:</font><blockquote>quote:</font><hr />Originally posted by Londoner:
