GDS_STARFURY

Ah ha....there were some things I left out of my problem description. I erased the demo before installing and tried both the latest patch and unpatched versions of the game. Both ways resulted in random lockups. I defrag the hd religiously and use nortons for most maintenance and anti-virus. When running SC I closed all these programs and most things running in the backround including the anti-virus. In fact all I have running is the systray and explorer and roughly 85 to 90% of system resources free. To be extra sure I have the needed memory I also defrg the RAM with memturbo before playing and then close that to. The last piece of info is that O/S is WinMe with all the latest upgrades and patches including DX-8. Other games on the hd include Close Combat2,3 and 5, East Front2, Homeworld, Medal of Honor, SPWAW, War in Russia, and Independance War2. All these games have their own full suite of mods and patches and no problems with running any of them. Those god damn russians are getting frisky on my border.I need to invade NOW!

I was wondering if some smart soul could help me out here. With both the demo and the full game I keep having lockup problems at random. At first I thought it might be something in the demo. At times I was able to finish the full amount of turns and other times it would lockup. When I got the full game I installed and patched it and still had the lockup problem. After reading through the forums and seeing other ppl having similar issues I tried several solutions. The sound and video drivers are all up to date (fyi: someone posted that the 30.82 drivers were current for Nvidia, they arnt, the current set is 40.72). My monitor drivers are also up to date. I reinstalled the game without the newest patch and still had lockups. Twice I checked for and found excessive heat over the video card. After cleaning all the fan blades this seems to have stopped. The side of the tower is kept off always for cooling regardless. I also tried resetting the .ini file numbers to 1 for both refresh rate and sound. Nothing seems to work. Ive been all cracked out on the demo for 2 weeks and NEED to play the full game. System specs are as follows: AMD 1.2ghz Asus motherboard 256meg RAM 40 gig harddrive Soundblaster Live Desktop res is 1024X768 at 16 bit color Thanks for any help

Hey Jeff I got some news youll love to hear. Gary Grigsby has started a new company and guess what..... He hired Ron Gretz as project coordinator, zonbie, future and GI Jonz!!!! Talk about your wargame dream come true. Also as far as KwazyDawg is concerned hes more or less responsible for the 310+ custom maps weve been able to mage for the CC series. Damn his map program rocks!! As for turning to the dark side Jeff, I fear that is not the case While CM is a cool game its not real time and that tension is what I like (non command & clone types of course). As for the tank colors everyone seems to be debating the reality is quite obvious. They are dark grey with washes of off white stripes. There are more then enough scale model sites with reference material to prove this. Any white should also have a tint of yellow in it. Why? Easy...German paint at this time was made as a paste and then thinned with whatever petrolium based solvent was handy, gas, turpintine ect. This is were the yellowed tint comes from.

Ah so this is were everyones been hiding Panzertruppe Vol 1 adn 2 can both be found at Borders or ordered from them. They are noticable by the red or yello jacket and $70 price tag And Jeff Im still waiting for that map.
