try 30.82 drivers. I get great frame rates and everything works (FSAA and fog) [ October 28, 2003, 07:54 PM: Message edited by: George-III ]

If the latest driver does not work for you try the 30.82 drivers. These have always worked the best for me. Great frame rates - FSAA works perfect - fog also works. I would at least keep these drivers as a backup incase the latest dont work. Get them here: http://download.guru3d.com/detonator/ go to page 5 and find your operating system then download. Hope this helps.

I like the 'wego' system best as well. Thats why I hope CM has good graphics in the next engine. As for moving to the general forum, I hope not, this post belongs here please. CM people would be interested in this IMO.

Battlefield Command Game is being developed by 1c, same company that made IL-2 Sturmovik. Might be competition for CM. They are going the real-time route instead of turn based or 'wego'. It sounds like they are trying for as much realism as possible. Screenshots are very impressive for a game that's still a year away. If Battlefront could combine thier system with graphics like these you would have the ultimate game. Will the new engine be capable of graphics like this? I hope so. Anyway thier game is still a year away so BFC has some time.. [ April 01, 2003, 01:09 AM: Message edited by: George-III ]

MasterGoodale Im afraid I have some bad news for you. I recently purchase a Radeon 9700 pro card but had to return it because the AA would not work with CM. The problem is the AA only works on 32 bit grafix and CM is only 16 bit. A lot of people complained to ATI about it on several forums and a couple of players here sent them emails. All to no avail. If you want AA you are going to have to use a Geforce card (hope you still have your old one). I would recomend returning the Radeon if its still possible. Hope this helps

doh... and a double post as well..just not my day. [ January 16, 2003, 04:43 PM: Message edited by: George-III ]

Try this link: Small Unit Actions Hope this helps oops... I just noticed Ace Pilot linked you to the same article. Singling is a great AAR. You should also check out Santa Maria [ January 16, 2003, 04:42 PM: Message edited by: George-III ]

You may also want to look at this thread: No FSAA with Radeon 9700

Is it possible to modify the sound files so we could have the ambient sound (wind, rain..etc..) WITHOUT the sound of off-map gunfire? Does such a mod exist? I like to listen closely to the sounds on the battlefield so I know when my troops have made contact or if a particular weapon is firing. Its very confusing to pickout the on-map sounds from the off-map sounds when 'Ambient Sound' is enabled. If the off-map gunfire could be removed somehow it would be perfect. Any ideas?

See this post: CMBB is "freezing" on me.

Thanks Chris, I registered on the Rage3D board and posted a reply in the thread. I hope all the requests will be heard. I also went to http://www.ati.com/ and found their customer support feedback page: http://apps.ati.com/cservice/webform.asp Maybe if enough people send in customer support complaints about this they will listen. *sigh* $400 bucks and I have to beg them for support......man.

Thomas, I am having the same problem you are. Random lockups. I also have a Geforce and Soundblaster type card. If I use a different video card I dont have a problem so I suspect its the Geforce. I have come up with a very unusual solution that has worked very well for me and might help you. It seems that my system is very heat sensitive. The lockups only occurred during the day when it was hot. If I took the case off and turned on the A.C. the lockups stopped. Try cooling your system down and see if it helps.

You could also try "The General". Its a free Russian game that is very addictive. Not much grafix but the concept is interesting. Download here: http://newgame.agava.ru/eng/g_news.html or here: http://www.freeglobus.com/games/game.php?g=86 Also you may want to look around at underdogs. They may have some games that you want: http://www.the-underdogs.org/ Hope that helps [ October 05, 2002, 05:03 PM: Message edited by: George-III ]

I will try that tweeker. Hopefully it will help. Thanks, Schrullenhaft.

I can't get the Full Screen Anti Aliesing to turn on. I found the menu to adjust it under the display settings menu when you right-click on the desktop. I enabled it for both opengl and directx. But no matter what settings I checked FSAA would not turn on. I reinstalled my geforce4 ti4600 just to make sure I wasnt seeing things. Sure enough, if I disabled the FSAA it looked just like what I was seeing with the 9700. BTW I am using the latest drivers from ati.com and my system is an AMD Athlon XP 2000+ with 1 Gig of RAM. p.s. I could not get FSAA enabled on BF1942 either. [ October 06, 2002, 12:59 AM: Message edited by: George-III ]

1600 X 1200 , same as the game. I am tweeking em now tho trying to figure out wtf is up with this. I think it could just be the monitor settings. If I adjust them in game I can get the models to look right but when I exit the desktop looks skewed. Very strange but I think I can live with it. Hopefully its just my system. BTS pays close attention to detail in thier games that I would hope it wouldnt be on thier end.

Im glad to hear you guys are not seing what I am seing. Maybe its my monitor settings or something but some of the tanks look very odd on my system. Oh well, hopefully its just my machine.

First of all CMBB is great. I have been playing it non-stop since I got it. All the new changes to the game are absolutly cool... however... While playing the game it seemed that the new Panther model just didnt look right. So I fired up CMBO and took some screens to compare the old Panthers with the new ones. Here are the old models: Ok here is the new model: Notice its a bit "scrunched up" compared to the old Panthers and the turret is also too large. Look carefully at this last picture. The road wheels are NOT round. They are verticle OVALS. Somehow this model got squished a little bit. Oh boy... I hope there is an easy fix for this. Because everthing else about this game rocks.

oops.. double post.. [ September 14, 2002, 05:34 PM: Message edited by: George-III ]

Why not release a "Quick Battle" demo? BTS could put out a demo that would show-off the new QB generator. All they would need to do is limit the number of options, units, map types etc... available in the game. I have found that most people play CM with QB's instead of scenarios. In fact I dont think I have played all of the CM scenarios because I find the Quick Battles so much more entertaining. IMO this demo would do a great job of appealing to the casual gamer. It would give them a better idea of why we find CM so addictive. If I were BTS, I would release this type of demo even if it meant that the demo would not be released until AFTER the game starts to ship. A lot of potential new players will be coming over here once the game comes out and this type of demo would really hook them IMO. What do you guys think?

Download Accelerator Plus or this link: Download.com Someone else recomended this program and it worked great. Got demo in less than an hour. Its free as well. (ignore adds for "premium" version). Note: After the download finished I had to rename the file to "demo.exe" to get it to run. For some reason the program saved it as just a number with no extension. Hope this helps.

I second this. Both links return errors for me as well.

*bump* nothing?

Date? Location? Forces?.... anyone know the details of the battles? The wait for this game is just killing me...
