  1. Same here. First go round I saw they framerate displays were slow and glitchy even on the briefing screen. Camera controls were laggy.

    After my CPU overheated and my machine rebooted I tried again without Fraps. Much better. I am trying out the 1.01 demo first. Does it get a patch?

    Is anyone else having overheating problems? CMSF must be a monster, I played Oblivion for hours on end with no shutdowns, but I am sure Oblivion is more graphics intensive rather than pure numbers-crunching. Should I just put a bowl of ice in the case or what?

    Athlon 2800+

    Leadtek 6600GT

    1 GB Ram

  2. I feel the same way Dryfear. Every movie and sceenshot I have seen for this game seem to be of the same fields, same trenches, and same trees.

    Does terrain every change in this game?

    I need a demo check before making a purchase on this one.

    I did not care for the Company of heroes Demo either, but I love the game.

    Also glad I checked this forum prior to buying the new Silent Hunter game.

  3. I've glanced at a few threads today and was wondering where Mr. Dorosh is? Is he on Vacation?

    3 Day drunk? What happened to him? It must post to every thread, I believe it;s in his contract.

    I'll wait and see how CMSF is received, wait for reviews, etc. Then I'll probably purchase the next WW2 installment whenever it comes out.

    No whining here.

    I don't like most TV, but I don't email the networks. Although we need to do something about all the advertising before/after/during the programs. It is ridiculous.

    Viva La DVD!

  4. Man, you guys must be bored.

    I haven't returned because I never left. Just been lurking. Took a break from SC and CMBB for awhile and just reloaded them last month.

    It's like Christmas all over again.

    I was shocked to see my name on the thread, I thought someone had stolen my identity or something. I guess this resurrection would also explain the mysterious email I received stating,

    "I have returned you to your rightful position on the S C board."

    Carry On

  5. I wish there were some sort of turn counter. The dates are ok, but I want to know exactly how long I have to complete Sealion.

    Example: Turn 5 of 40

    That way I wouldn't have to try and keep track of the summer/winter dates. Time seems to get away from you thru the winter.

  6. How about the sound of papers shuffling?
    LOL That's a good one BB!

    Seemed all HQ did in the Army was paperwork and drink coffee. Maybe some sipping sounds?

    I have no idea how they fought WW2 without Powerpoint briefings/AARs.

    Good idea SuperTed. I'll look into that.

    And of course I have CM! smile.gif

  7. No, I don't have one, I want one.

    Any suggestions?

    That crazy radio when the HQ moves is the only sound in the game I am already sick of.

    I'll change to a new wave, just was wondering what might be good?

    I was thinking cavalry charge or something.

    Any ideas are welcome.

  8. I played a full game as Allies(default settings with FOW on) and the Italians took Paris and Yugo. I thought that was odd.

    Very little activity in the West. The East was a different story. Germany attacked USSR but never capped a city. I outproduced them and fought a static line for awhile then the dam broke and the Reds drove all the way to the Atlantic.

    Game over end of 43, I think I got a 161 score or something.

  9. Back when all we had to meddle with was the demo I remember reading a thread how a player would let Italy have all the caps and see what the poorly led Italians could do with the extra income. Now the AI is doing it.

    I am playing the '39 campaign now as the Allies and the Italians have taken Paris (Feb 2 '41) and Yugoslavia (May 11 '41). The Germans had better jump in there soon or they will be hurting for MPPs in the next year or so.

    Amazing how many threads with interesting AI behavior have cropped up already. Reminds me of the CMBO days when people would post,

    "Did you see the guy lob a grenade at that tank!"

    Having a blast with this time-killer!
