Oh my! We are graced with the presence of the great Eric Young. Aren't you supposed to be busy working on the greatest "not an RTS yet not a wargame either" there ever was?Originally posted by Eric Young:It is most likely John Ashcroft's fault.
Really, I think it is.

BTW, your choice of beta testers has left you with one less buyer. I was fully intending to purchase GI Combat but the continuous digs by an immature beta tester have really soured my opinion of the game and that community in general.

I think people who are buying multiple copies to send to Europe should contact those people and ask permission to test the disks before shipping them out. It would save them the trouble of paying for shipping twice.
I ordered 3 copies (1 for me, 2 for a couple of friends) and tested them all out before I gave them their copy. Good thing too as there was one bad disk in the bunch. Fortunately we could copy another disk and they are set until I get a replacement for them.
Just a suggestion to save people some time, money and frustration.

GOT 'EM!
Delivered by UPS (not USPS) this afternoon. Anyone with more than 2 copies will probably have it delivered this way.
Kinda bad timing. My mom's birthday is today and I'm taking her and the rest of the family out to eat. Some things are more important.
Sometime tonight I'll be driving across the steppes or slugging it out in Stalingrad.

GOT IT!
For those who pre-ordered (or ordered) more than 2 copies, expect a brown vehicle (UPS) in front of your house today or tomorrow. That's how mine came and explains the delay.

Self-serving BUMP.
Gary, you out there? Get your copies yet?

jonp,
Cedar Rapids, Iowa. Town of 150,000 very close to Interstate 80 and a fairly large airport (jets access).
:confused:
Frustrated mainly because people halfway around the world are receiving copies and people in the US are still waiting. Something screwy.

More importantly, why no CD?Originally posted by Dirtweasle:Why no answer?
I pre-ordered early 9/7 (3 copies) and still don't have it yet.
Keith

Nothing here today (9/25).
I really like seeing all these posts about "WOOO! I got it in Outer Mongolia!" when I pre-ordered early and live in the US and still don't have it.
I've got a bad feeling.
Hey Gary! Man the bilge pumps!

I don't think I could bring myself to do it. Besides, I might want to go West once in awhile. However, removing CM:BO and all the mods I've downloaded would literally save me Gigs of disk space.

I just installed a Geforce4 Ti4600 (for CM:BB) that has this feature. According to the "What's this?" help tooltip, 4xS is for Direct3D only (which CM:BB is) and is supposed to be an enhanced FSAA (better looking) that might be slower. I've been running the CM:BB demo with it on and it works fine (30.82 drivers). Haven't noticed a large difference between 4x and 4xS. No real speed change either but it might be a factor with larger scenarios.
Hope this helps.

Absolutely fantastic!
Thank you sir. A nice hit until my full on addiction arrives.

I'll add my thanks as well, Abbott.
I too am one of those suffering and waiting. These screens were some of the things I was most interested in.
How about a screenshot of available German armor in mid 1943 or mid 1944 if possible? I'm curious about Big Cat rarity factors.
Thanks.

Typo I guess.Originally posted by Clinton:Then why is the keyboard shortcut listed in the manual???

Just use Sound Recorder. It's usually installed on every Windows installation. Open the WAV file with it, increase the volume by 25% (Under the Effects menu) how ever many times you want (4 times = 100% = 2x the volume of the original). That's all I did for my MG-42 sounds I did for CM:BO.Originally posted by MrNoobie:well if these are actual gun sounds then im not going to change em....how do i make em louder? i wuold like to fill the room with the sounds of war!!
If you go too far either way it can start to distort the sound. So play around with it until you are satisfied. As always, backup before you start.
If you're on a Mac, I can't help you. But I'm sure there is a similar program installed.

After reading what you went through with CM:BO, I don't even want to think about it. :eek:Originally posted by kump:Keith,
Since we are the same (same day ordered, in the 80,000) and we both ordered multiple copies (5 copies), and we are both still waiting (though later orders arriving), I hope we don't wind up in the same boat (sinking).
Let's hope so. I was thinking it would probably be a small box. Maybe multiple orders are taking a bit longer to process.Maybe they needed to send out for some bigger envelopes
Amen.Here is to receiving both at the same time tomorrow!
And good luck.

Well, you'll have a long wait.Originally posted by MVPD 43-80:hey, anybody with a 93000+ order number receive theirs yet? im a little anxious hehe......or anybody within the midwest states espicaly iowa?
sorry cant spell!
In Cedar Rapids myself. Pre-ordered on 9/7 with order number in the 80,000s (3 copies) and haven't seen it yet.

Thanks.Originally posted by catnip:I really hope the rest of you get the game tomorrow or by Thursday at least. I know it is hard reading about everybody else having fun and not having the game. Hang in there.
Guess it doesn't matter when you pre-order. I ordered on 9/7 (about 9:00am or so) with an order number in the 80,000s. That doesn't really matter because it's just a random number any way (I hopeBy the way, my order number is 90,2XX and I ordered on 9/14. Good luck and see you all on the battlefield in the future!
).Note to self: Don't knock yourself out to pre-order CM3 or CMII or whatever it's gonna be called.

That's where I'm at as well. I'm a bit farther inland though. I won't worry until the end of the week.Originally posted by kump:catnip,
My order number is 80+++ (ordered September 7) and I did not get my copies today either, even though I'm on the east coast (NC).
Still a bit too early to be concerned
Bad story. Hope you no one has to go through something like that this time.

Nope. It's USPS only.Originally posted by CupOHemlock:Hmm I live in VA and your statement makes me think that "standard shipping" must mean UPS after all. Here is to hoping I see it when I get home.

You're edgy? Think how I feel!Originally posted by Prinz Eugen:Frustrating ? Really ? Nah, it was a bit difficult day for me, I'm a bit edgy today. Sorry if I hurt anybody's feelings !
No harm done. I just didn't want to see another unnecessary flame war start. Too many of them as of late. I think everyone is a bit on edge.

Order number in the 80,000 range. Pre-ordered it on Saturday at about 9:00 am CDT (about maybe 6 hours from the initial pre-order announcement maybe?). Don't know. Maybe the horse died on the other side of the Mississippi or somefink.

Nothing here in Cedar Rapids. Another day.

Prinz Eugen,
If you don't have anything positive to add to a thread, please ignore it. Telling people to "shut the hell up" is not called for. As it is, many in the US who preordered may not receive their copy until 9/30 and BTS is based here. Very frustrating when people half way around the world can get a copy before you can.
