  1. I'm playing the Line of Defense scenario (pbem) as allied.

    I had some incoming arty allready one or two turns, but in the last movie i saw something strange:

    I saw some shell impacts (craters) and small dust cloud (very short time), but i heard NO sound and saw NO explosion graphics.

    Im sure it was NO smoke shells because i asked my opponent.

    After i loaded the movie before this one, it was normal with sound and graphics.

    Then i loaded the last one again, and i heard no sound and did not saw explosions.

    btw my opponent also saw the no explosion graphic/no sound impacts of the shells !

    Anybody had this "bug?" also ??

  2. Roger, i barely scratched the surface of all the CMBB possibilities.

    It doesn't help either i am a SLOW CM player ( i love to watch each turn several times from several levels)

    Im also playing pbem mainly so i have played not many battles but i loved them all very much and thats what count.

    Mostly that is through, but i lost some tanks when i stopped shelling some AT guns because i thought those guns were knocked out, so if you can spare the shells, put some extra on suspected places is my advice.

  4. I have bad experiences with inf. or even tankhunter teams and hunting down tanks.

    My best unit for tankhunting is the flamethrower, they kill a tank without problems when they are hidden and dont move. (you need some luck the enemy tanks cross his path but you can estimate some spots where they are likely to pass...)

    Give an arc when enemy tank is closeby and lean backward to watch the mayham smile.gif

    Needless to say those are suiside missions, the flamethrower team is dead within 1 minute normally :(

  5. In my new monster rig i use a Geforce FX 5900.

    It came default with the 52.16 drivers !

    I use now 4x AA with 4x filtering.

    CM starts without problems, for reading the text (scenario's) i have to use alt tab/escape 1x and back to CM.

    Also for password typing with pbem i need to alt/tab to desktop or typing blindly hehe

  6. Which drivers are you using NOW ?

    I think 30.82 are the best drivers for CM for your system.

    New drivers wont give a big performance increase, for that you need a faster cpu, more RAM and/or a better vid card.

    44.03 did work ok with my Geforce 4 Ti 4400, but only with antialiasing OFF or at 4x.

    If i used 2x, CM did not load properly.

    I have bought now a Geforce FX 5900 and will try the 45.23 first.

    I dont think your Geforce 2 card need those new drivers but you can always benchmark and try those drivers to see if you get any performance increase.

  7. That is really strange indeed.

    You un-installed the old drivers via the install/uninstall menu right?

    Sometimes you need a program called Detonator RIP to get rid of some old pieces of the old drivers before you can install new drivers.

    Schrullenhaft wrote about it in a thread in this forum very recently. Browse throught some recent post to find it.

    Goodluck,
