  1. Yah, I'm seeing that now in a few of the videos. I'm still debating this one or Cold War. I'm leaning towards Cold War.
  2. What drew my attention was the fact that it always takes so long on this site to update these things. So, I will do me...bro. As you can see from my low post count in 21+ years, I don't spend all day on here like many do and use the home page to get my news.
  3. I see that the bundle is out now...not June. I'm thinking along your lines a bit though. I really have no interest in more urban combat because of the points you make.
  4. Uh, I don't think it's that unusual when you're selling something to accurately display the availability of the product on the homepage, and especially the product page? I don't think I ever see it anywhere but this site. I do realize however that this is the 1950's bizarro world where websites and marketing don't seem to matter...
  5. Why does it still show pre-order on the home and product page? Does it take that much effort to change this?
  6. Yah, I'm in no panic...it's spring, time to get outside anyways.
  7. Makes no sense until I own RT, that's why I'm waiting for the bundle. Even at $80 USD for a bundle it's going to cost me over $100 CAD.
  8. So, I assume this is only released to those who pre-ordered? It still says that it's a pre-order on the product page, and there is also still no bundle available.
  9. I will wait and see. I'm only interested in bundles. I didn't even realize it was still pre-order. There's no way to tell on the product page. Yes, I know it says pre-order on the home page, but you'd only know that by scrolling down the page.
  10. I don't see any bundle discount on the product page for RT? Is there going to be one, or should we just wait for Steam release?
  11. I posted this in another thread about AMD load times, and thought it fit better in tech support: Not to drag up an older thread, I didn't see a need in rehashing things. Did you ever figure out optimal settings for AMD cards? I recently picked up a 5700xt, and CM is giving me issues. I noticed the long load times right off the bat, but it will also freeze and CTD after 30 secs or so. I disabled everything in the forced settings in adrenaline and that solved the crashes, but wow did it ever look and run better on my 1060 3GB (with NCP settings applied). I think it was the OpenGL triple buffering causes the crashes, but I need to test more. EDIT: Ok, so like many, I was quick to blame AMD I could not get CMBN to work at all, no matter the settings. It looked and ran like garbage, and would just freeze up and crash right away in a game. So, I installed SF 2 (Steam). No issues, ran great (for CM), all mods, looks even better than it did with my Nvidia cards. I was able to put all the settings back on in the profile (Supersampling, AF, Triple Buffering, etc). I then installed CMFI big bundle. No issues, all settings, runs great, all mods installed. CMBS, same thing. So, figuring it was CMBN, I deleted it all and reinstalled. Voila, works like a charm now. I don't get it, but obviously something got corrupted? I have the all-in-one 4.03 installer. This is on a brand new install of Windows 10, new B550 MB, R5 3600, and the 5700XT, so it wasn't old files or anything interfering. There is still the issue of some of the games not keeping shaders turned on between starts and battles. SF 2 is having this issue right off the bat. CMBN was fine, until I put my mods on, now I have to turn on shaders ever time. More testing required...maybe the mods?

  14. So this is a bug? I am having to do this every single time I load a battle, save game or new.
  15. I sold my 1070 and am back on my 'lowly' 1060 3GB so I'm playing this again as it runs very well on it, even at 1440p. While I wait for the video card chaos to die down, I picked up the CMFI Big Bundle. I'm just wondering which campaign is the best to start out? Or should I just do as I did in CMBN and start at the top?
  16. I'm noticing this right now in the Dutch campaign. I'm on mission #3 and so far, both have ended in very early surrenders where I hadn't even cleared half the map. I am seeing the opposite on Mission #3 however. I've seized the bridge approach and am now just sitting there waiting for the time to tick down.
  17. Yes, Steam users are people too believe it or not There's just a lot more of them, which is naturally going to increase the % of boneheads. Locking it down would be a bad move as most people (myself included) like to use the forum where their game resides, not have to create another login at a different site for every game.
  18. Yah, I noticed this too. For instance the Big Bundle with the game shows $118 CDN for me, even though I already own SF 2 (and have it installed on Steam). Individual modules are $39.99 CDN each...$120 for all three?! Or, I can get all of the modules on the BF site for about $99 CDN. This could be the same thing that ED attempts to do...get people to avoid Steam and buy off of their site (which I do now as they also give reward $ with each purchase, and the price is roughly the same). So, is this whole Steam move just a PR stunt to get CM more exposure? I can't imagine a sensible person buying the game on Steam for those prices.
  19. I'm sure the crew on here will trash me for it (so be it), but this sort of seems like an elitist thing to say, does it not? You care about the cash but not the customers on Steam, many of whom will not want to come over here to these forums? Will you have someone over there doing 'PR' at least? I've seen the vitriol on Steam with DCS World (and many other games) when they ignore Steam over the ED forums.
  20. I'd like to know this too. To me, this is the biggest benefit to having the game on Steam as the current process is a royal PITA. I see the prices have been discounted here enough now that it may entice me to buy at least one of the modules. Seems there's no benefit to getting the bundle as the price is the same now. Will the bundle be available on Steam at some point?
  21. Yes, and this is where the biggest complaints are going to be on the user reviews on Steam. Gamers have come to expect modern graphics, and the CM games aren't it. I've heard all the arguments why..no need to rehash it here again. I think this is a big reason why I can't justify the price these days, and the same reason I don't play Falcon BMS much...it's a turd when compared to DCS, even if the dynamic campaign is light years ahead of any content in DCS. In any event, more cash, better game engine, we'll all be happy.
  22. So will this new arrangement be similar to DCS World in regards to sales (on here and on Steam), etc or has that much been worked out yet? I think getting CM on Steam is long overdue. More exposure to a much larger (and likely much younger) audience, access to the 'impulse' buying behaviour of Steam sales (I have 140 games on Steam...most of which I don't play), and better pricing for those of us not in the US, which has stopped me from buying anything past CMSF 2, CMBS, and CMBN...$90 CDN for a single game is very steep. Hopefully it results in more cash for BF which can go into modernizing the game engine.
  23. I was thinking of getting the CMFI Big Bundle now that RTV has been released, so I d/l the demo and tried to launch it but the above happens (hit Launch and it just goes back to desktop). I have went in and added the demo .exe in exceptions in Win 10 firewall settings, still doesn't work. I don't use any other virus software. I also checked and nothing is running in the task manager list. Ideas? EDIT: if anyone else runs into this, I had to add the file to the allowed list in the security settings under ransomware protection (I have it enabled). Runs fine now.
