    Thinking of upgrading to Version: 41.09, my OS is

    OS: Windows 9x / ME

    Just thought i would touch base if anyone has had any trouble with it before i do

    Im not a Tech head so i thought i would ask people that are

    I am using a GF4 Ti 4200. Ive tried the 41.09 but switched back to the 30.82 ( as recommended by BTS ). With the 41.09 CMBO and CMBB ( and only those, all other games worked fine ) were locked at 60 Hz. I cant stand that flickering ... :eek:

    What If?

    Sounds like " A hawk among sparrows ", neat story. Cant remember the author, though ...

    Battlefront - Do you think you can release the patch this week?

As far as I can see, I believe most people would rather have a patch released first, then add the extras in a second patch. Since I did not buy this from CDV, I do not understand why you feel you can not release the American version of the patch "now" or "when complete", and then the multi-language portions later whenever CDV gets around to it.

    I think this idea is rubbish. What about us poor euro guys, that are trying to teach you americans some tactics in a pbem ? When my dear opponents ( Hi Strider, Rhudat, Don ) are playing with a 1.1 and I must suffer with a 1.0 ?

    Incompatible PBEM files anyone ? :confused:

    New Nividia Drivers

    in Combat Mission - Tech Support

    Posted

    Hi all,

    I have another hickup with the new Detonator drivers 40.72 WHQL; on my Win98SE with a GF4200TI CMBB only runs with 60 hz. And yeah, I´ve used the direct3d refresh utility from within the driver. No go ...

    This is only a problem with CMBB, all other games run fine with 85 hz. And yeah, I´ve deleted the old CMBB prefs ...

    The old 30.82 work fine though, CMBB runing in 85 hz .

    Any hints ? :confused:

    This is your brain on drugs, Counter-Stike, or both. Any questions?

    How the hell would they support such a thing with ammo and fuel ? And wouldnt it be vulnerable to infantry ?

    I dont know. I´ve bought two german quad 20mm flak and one killed a russian plane on turn four. Place them side by side so that they got the same LOS. Seems to work.

    Family on the East Front?

    in Combat Mission Archive #4 (2002)

    Posted

    Hi all,

    interesting thread. Both of my grandfathers served in WW2, one in the german navy on a torpedoboat as a "Bootsmann". He was in Norway when it was occupied. I still have his Portopee ( spelling? ) bayonet.

    My other Grandfather fought on the russian front as an infanteryman. He was killed, when he shot down a russian fighter with his MG42, which crashed down on his foxhole. That was in 1944.

    Also one of my uncles served in the navy. He was also on a torpedoboat in the mediteran sea, was sunk and captured in egypt. He made it back to germany in 1946. He died a few years ago.

    "Stopfen!"... ???

    For the non-German speakers: The noun "Stopfen" translates as "plug" (barrel plug, butt-plug ;) , etc.) while the verb "stopfen" means to stuff ("sich vollstopfen"=to stuff oneself with food, "eine Pfeife stopfen"=to stuff a pipe with tobacco, etc.)

    Now either my knowledge of my own language's military-speak is too narrow, or someone made a funny translation error... smile.gif

    Hi all,

    when I was in the german Bundeswehr ( Pioneers )

    " stopfen " means stop firing. That was in the early eighties.

    Wie ich vor unendlich langer Zeit beim Bund war ( Pioniere ) , hiess es beim schiessen auf der Bahn immer " Stopfen ... " , wenn alle Welt aufhören sollte zu schiessen. Umm, das war zwar vor über zwanzig Jahren ....

    Der Spiess meinte damals, das käme noch von den alten Vorderladern.
