Even though I didn't have any scenarios the scenarios folder was created when I ran the game.

Just in Boston. In game, not yet anyway.

See the main topic at the top of this board. When the CD spins fast then slow and back again it still may start to load as mine did. But then there was the load problem mentioned in the other threads. Check those out.

I for one don't mind not having the game log in the reg or having to use the Add/Remove utility to get the game off my HD.

Create the scenarios folder and place the files in there. You are correct.

redwolf, some have not only noticed the 'milky' area but also some deformation along the edge. I have both.

Dl'ing them now. Thanks.

Your doomed.

Roger that triangle shape too.

Guys, check this thread. I always disable everything except systray and explorer when I load programs. http://www.battlefront.com/cgi-bin/bbs/ultimatebb.cgi?ubb=get_topic;f=8;t=002822

Matt, I have: BMP = 5847 WAV = 2174 No SCN files but I had them sent to me by another member of this forum. 2 files in the "OpenPlay Modules" folder both named TCPIP.dll and TCPIP.lib. Obviously missing WAV files and the disk does look a little screwed up. Looking at it again I see the water drop-like mark at the edge and the weird colored wavy rings around the center. Looks like a splash of gas in a puddle of water.

Thanks to Schrullenhaft for emailing me the Scenarios and battles. It was very appreciated. Game works but as with rewolf I am unsure if I am missing anything.

Thanks, I'm BFC then.

Not to appear too stupid but what are BFC and CDV?

Matt: CD is for Windows - PC Win98 Se 60GB HD PIII 1,000 CD: Acer DVP 1640A - 16xDVD 40x CD-Rom MB: DFI TA 64B - Chipset escapes me. 3d Card GF2 GTS Pro 32mb 512 RAM Swapfile size set by windows. Have no other PC to try it on, sorry. My pics are above in the thread (error and installer gif.) Anything else?

Manual is bigger too.

Schrullenhaft, I just changed my email addy to the correct one. If it isn't a problem could you send it to the new one when you have a moment. Thanks a lot. [ September 22, 2002, 03:33 AM: Message edited by: CJMello ]

Thats how I wound up. Even with the error and not completely loading I can still do a quick battle. No SCNs or battles were loaded. Really strange.

First time it failed on (CRC ERROR) 00005003.wav and also got the error at the end. See gif above. Second try I just got the end error and no CRC on the wav. Confusing to say the least. Any real problems happen at the end, last few seconds of loading/copying.Disk does look a little weird. Not smudges but a screwy oval pattern around the center. An emulsion SNAFU?Like ripples but not an even pattern. I'll look for a big disk to copy later but I have never had this problem before, esecially with CMBO.

I will try that next. Just might be the thing and will post the good or bad news here after the try. *EDIT* Just tried to copy and with 15 seconds left to go I get an error: Maybe a bad disk?? [ September 21, 2002, 08:25 PM: Message edited by: CJMello ]

Redwolf, check the url. You are not alone in the error category. http://www.battlefront.com/cgi-bin/bbs/ultimatebb.cgi?ubb=get_topic;f=8;t=002822 [ September 21, 2002, 08:10 PM: Message edited by: CJMello ]

I always close everything except explorer and systray when I load programs. HD was defragged last night and also a scan disk the day before. Windows/Temp folder is empty as usual. Will keep digging and see what is up. Also open to more advice and I appreciate the advice already given. Roby, demo or full version? [ September 21, 2002, 07:17 PM: Message edited by: CJMello ]

I removed one stick of RAM. Usually have trouble loading when I have both in when loading programs and running Win98SE, 60GB HD, loaded this time with 256RAM, Dx 8.1. No CRC error on WAV file just the same error as noted in the gif below. Never saw a setup.exe on the CD. Just the CMBB Installer program. It stated in the maual to click on the setup.exe but stated nothing about the installer.exe. I realize things from the final version and the manual sometimes. Thought for a second I might have gotten a Mac version. Will have to poke around with my system I guess to see what is up as I am not sure what is missing and causing the read error. I can play a quick battle and that is it, no stock battles or campaigns where installed. If anyone has any ideas please let me know. Not sure why it failed and failed to load Scenarios, etc. and only letting me play a quick mission. Nothing was written to the registery so nothing will show up in Start|Programs or in the Add\Remove programs areas. Whatever I have (BMPs, WAVs, and a few folder with the cmbb exe was just extracted. As you can see it almost finished installing. Thanks in advance. [ September 21, 2002, 05:29 PM: Message edited by: CJMello ]

Just received mine today. In Raynham. [ September 21, 2002, 01:41 PM: Message edited by: CJMello ]

I pretty much got the same error on a wav and then the whole thing failed. I will look at this more later and play around a bit. OS was reinstalled not too long ago but I will look at my RANM issue as when I have both 256 sticks in I sometimes get loading problems. WIll retry later. Also why re DL the Demo?
