Thanks guys. Increased work is not leaving much time for boardgaming, so I figured I'd try these again when I had a hour here and there to play around, and figure out why I couldn't get anywhere as far in it as the original CM games.

I installed the 3.0 Updates for both CMBN & CMFI. The installs went well and activation was successful. However, when I launch the programs, I still see CMBN v2.20 and CMFI v1.20. Since Battlefront is notorious for releasing patches that freak out Norton 360, I thought that Norton may have stopped the update, but checking Norton's History I don't see any files that were not allowed to proceed. Does the 3.0 install not change the version #'s at the bottom of the startup screen? Any help appreciated. BTW, I installed from the CDs, not any download installer.

Thanks. I had noticed that so it wasn't the issue. everything OK now, as it was the AV.

Sure enough, Norton had quarantined it. After restoring it I had to reinstall the patch, but nothing is not selectable now. Thanks.

PC version. I even inserted the Commonwealth DVD and went through the install...TWICE, even tho' it was already installed, and no change. All CW battles/campaigns un-selectable. Using Win 8. With a file manager I can see that there are directories related to the CW module, but without knowing what exact files to look for, I can't tell whether the install went smoothly.

I have the CMBN game and Commonwealth modules installed, along with the 2.0 upgrade. I installed the 2.01 patch, and all the CW battles and campaigns are now un-selectable, telling me I need the module (which I have). Anyone have a clue as to what may be wrong? Thanks.

This patch has gotten rid of the problem I had of only seeing guns and helmets for the foot units. Great!

I just installed CM: Italy on the new PC I bought (Physical disc version purchased direct from Battlefront). Trying to install it, Norton 360, blocked its install, getting rid of the .exe file that starts the game. I turned off the Norton Firewall and Virus protection, and was able to install it. When I tried to move the icon for it off the desktop and into a "Games" folder I created, Norton (now active) killed it again. Is there some kind of issue that causes the .exe file to be seen as a Trojan Virus? Any help appreciated.

I bought the three CM products when they were released but couldn't do anything with them because I had a crappy PC that chocked on the games. I just got a new PC and installed all the products, in order... CM: Normandy CM: Commonwealth CM: Fortress Italy Italy came with a "Game Engine Manual Version 2.0." Does the manual also apply to the original Normandy game? Did the Commonwealth install update the game engine for Normandy? Really looking forward to finally playing these. Once the "invisible soldiers" issue in Normandy is resolved I can dive into that, but for now it's off to The Boot.

I (now using Win 8)have this problem as well. I purchased all the games/modules (Normandy/Commonwealth/Italy) when they were released but only now installed them as I didn't have a PC capable of running them smoothly. The soldiers in Normandy have always been invisible since I installed all the products about a hour ago. The soldiers in Fortress Italy are fine, as visible as visible can be. Vehicles are fine, and look damn good to boot. If this is fact a .BRZ file, or anything else, please fix it, as the game is unplayable, or at not enjoyable, watching a bunch of Claude Rains running around.

Thanks for the info. I have the nVidia 6800 Ultra, so I should be fine. The vid requirement was my biggest worry.

I couldn't find anything in the Overview for the game that lists what the minimum requirements (Video, RAM, OS, etc) are for the game. Using an older machine (XP, 256 MB nVidia GeForce, 3.06 P5, 2GB RAM) I'm wondering if my machine will be able to run this game without having to skimp on graphics settings, or even run at all.

Thanks, I'll give it a looksee. Also, I have a friend who says that AI controlled Me 110s that use their rear gunner to play a burst card against him, are playing a response card against him as well, when HE responds to the rear gunner attack. Isn't that supposed to be prohibitied? Joe Perez

Without question this bug exists. It happened again when an eneny A6M5 that was neutral to me started off its own turn by playing a sicssors. The log box disappears at the end of the game, and even tho' the "save to file" is selected, I don't know how to retrieve the log, if I can at all. Joe Perez

At the start of the game I get that DOS-looking text box. It has the button "save to file" selected already, but at the end of the game the box can no longer be called up. I'm getting pretty fed up with this obvious bug that allows an AI aircraft to play a sicssors card during ITS OWN TURN when it is in a neutral position or being tailed, when it is only supposed to be able to play it during its own turn if it is in a disadvantaged position. It's not playing it as a response to anything, simply as an initiated action. How do I save the log to report this? Joe Perez
