Hi! Im looking for some good campaigns to download and play and would be happy for some recommendations. I've downloaded the Perdition minicampaign and it looks like an astonishing piece of work but my computer gets the hiccups when i try to run it. I guess its because of the sheer size of the maps and number of units so if you could point me in the direction of some smaller ones i would be very happy! I do prefer red on red but anything goes! /Mattias

Remember that "bluebar" in CMBO, CMBB and CMAK when the turn was resolved? There is no such bar in CMSF the action starts directly when you end the turn. Someone said in another thread that the turn is resolved in real time (or something like that) and I for one rather watch that than that hideous bluebar that sometimes took minutes to resolve.

@steiner14 ive got a ATI Radeon X1900Xt

Im pretty sure its a Vista/ATI related problem. I had the exact same issues and decided to install xp on another partition and now im running the game like a charm. Just a clean XP and latest catalyst drivers, nothing else, not even the windowsupdates. oh, forgot that i have to manually turn off one of my cpus when playing otherwise i get the teleportbug.

As reported above I have the exact same problem. Running Vista with an ATI-card on a AMD X2 Dualcore. As an experiment I installed a clean copy of Windows XP on another partition and now the game runs without trouble when selecting units and performance is great...until the "teleporting units-bug" strikes after about 2 minutes. So game is still unplayable but maybe this can help narrowing down the problem? Ok, further testing this i disabled one of the cpu's and now the game works as a charm! This is with just a clean install of Win XP, no microsoft patches or fixes, no amdcpu drivers or coreoptimizers. latest drivers for my ati x1900 from ati.com [ July 28, 2007, 06:43 AM: Message edited by: KnockOnWood ]

I'll pitch in here...Running Windows Vista Ultimate 32bits. ATI X1900xt, 2 gig ram and a AMD 64bit x2 4200 processor. Same thing for me. I can start the game and give some orders then after about 30 seconds the game freezes and the windowscursor appears and i have to ctrl-alt-delete out of the game. Tried every ati driver from 7.1 and upwards and no change, fiddled with the settings in the controlpanel with no luck. Tried the dualcore-optimizer and no change. Reinstalled directX and no change. Installed the game on my girlfriends computer. Pentium 4, 2,2gig, 1024mb ram, ATI 800 videocard and also Vista Ultimate and got the exact same problems there. Im going to drink myself to sleep now and dont work yourselves to death fixing this. /matte

Latest catalystdrives x1900xt, vista ultimate 32bits, 2046 mb ram and a amd 64 x2 4200 prcessor and one hell of a mouse to that! I'll post in the techforum as well.

i get the same wierd problems with the mousecursor freezing and then my desktopcursor appears and i have to ctrl-alt-delete out of the game...thank the gods someone started to brew whiskey or i would have blown a fuse over this, hughh!

Ive got almost exactly the same specs as the guy above except i run on vista ultimate 32bits and i get the same crashes. Got the optimizer and ive tried disabling the the second cpu even before i looked here but it still doesnt work. Im going to investigate further... /matte

Installed the drivers that came with the card (2183) and everything works just fine...feel pretty dumb here . Isn't 2311 supposed to be the "official" drivers? Anyhow everything seems to work alright for now...wonder what comes next

Already tried all of the above, Im going to try to "downgrade" my nvidia drivers and see what happens.

Hi! Just bought a new graphiccard (Pointofview geforce 3 Ti 200) plugged it in to my system and tried to run CMBO...It runs fine! Problem is with Operation Flahpoint, when I tried to start it the screen just showed gray, but I could hear the game in the backround. Tried to reinstall the detonator drivers 2311, same thing. Tried to reinstall the game, same thing. So I tried to install Ghost Recon, that I bought at the same time as the GF 3...surprise same thing there! Any suggestions what could be the problem? I can run CMBO and the Medal of Honor demo just fine, but I can't run Operation Flashpoint or Ghost recon? Got a 1ghz Amd, epox 8kta3 mainboard and plenty of ram

Very nice! But how on earth am I supposed to go back playing CMBO now when I have seen this?

I'm 25 but seems to get younger every year

When you install Spwaw you will find it includes a soundmap in the Steel Panthers World at War folder (soundmap.pdf). And you can get a soundmap for CM if you download Ncrawlers soundmod 1.6 from www.combatmission.com (already emailed the soundmap to the adress in your profile).

Glad you liked it! BTW if you find any good pictures of american or free french TC:s please let me know because I had a very hard time finding any so I just filled in with that poor bare headed guy for the moment.

This picture WILL work! (I hope) And now that I got some reliable webspace I might as well offer these startscreens for download to zipfiles here startscreens- http://hem.bredband.net/matteg/startscreen.zip portraits- http://hem.bredband.net/matteg/unitportraits.zip [ 11-24-2001: Message edited by: KnockOnWood ] [ 11-24-2001: Message edited by: KnockOnWood ]</p>

Sent them! And for those who can't see the picture: direct link http://community.webshots.com/uploads/25771476.jpg?5862

A while ago James Bunnelle released a great compilation of black and white unit portraits (available at combat-missions.net). I liked it so much that I decided to try to do one myself and this is how it turned out: I don't know about releasing it to the public would be legal since some of the pictures are from other games like Rising Sun and East Front but I don't think (correct me if I'm wrong please)it's illegal to email them to anyone that would be interested.

I've been working with some new unit portraits tonight and I found some very good sites with interesting pictures that I thought I would share with all. If you know any other sites with good content please tell me http://webpub.alleg.edu/student/p/paynes/eto.html http://www.nara.gov/nara/nn/nns/ww2photo.html

Thanks for your help, i'll give it a shot now
