  1. Just to add a sour note. I thought the movie was lazy rubbish from T. He didn't move himself forward in any direction, I thought. Just tedious w%^& that I've seen in more entertaining earlier efforts. Looking forward to his next step forward, or is his bag o' tricks empty and we'll just get rehashes like this sad thing. I resented him taking my money. Half price for seeing more or less the same stuff would have been fairer!

  2. Thanks.

    Of course, nothings ever easy.

    I've DLed and installed the 1.04 patch, licensed it, and not watch Vista advise me that the program won't work at all. *sigh* Back to the drawing board.... Actually, in the new year, back to XP I think. Like so many others, I got a new computer and => got vista. But, it's crap and I don't need the problems it needlessly presents me with in using this and other games. *rolls eyes*

    I thank you for your help.

  3. I dl'd the CM1.04 patch hoping it would fix a CMAK graphics problem I have ' that the edge of the map has suddenly stuck in a repeating frenzy whenever I play.

    Zone Alarm warns me that:

    "Trojan.Win32.Agent.decc was found in C:\Windows\mmfs.dll on 22/12/2009 1:30:42"

    That's not great news. Is ZA losing the plot or is there a trojan suddenly on the BFC download?

  4. I've just purchased an HP Pavilion dv5 Notebook PC; X86-based PC with an IntelĀ® Core2 Duo CPU T9400 @ 2.53GHz, 2534 Mhz, 2 Core(s), 2 Logical Processor(s), so the 'system info' tells me. It's got an NVIDIA GeForce 9600M GT graphics card with 512 MB. It came with Vista Home Premium OS.

    I've just put CMAK on it and it is spastik! The graphics go to hell soon as I pan.

    Is this some sort of Vista disaster or is it just too juiced to run CM properly?

    Currently I'm guessing the former option. Would I be better off getting Vista shot in the head and installing XP instead? (Running CM, and soon Les Grognards, are the priorities!)

    Cheers

  5. I haven't bought the game but prolly will buy Normandy when it arrives. HOWEVER, I'm hoping that mulitplayer in CMSF means more than 2 players, or is that it.

    I also expect that multiplayer in Normandy should mean - as it will in Les Grognards - the ability to play PBEM games with more than two players where we don't have to work-around the limitations of the engine. ie. several players can simultaneously plot moves and send them to a central processor - the 'key' player - who's puter will take all the input and produce a next turn for all to view or plot or view+plot. Ideally it would also link to the email program to save the fiddle inbetween.

    Am I behind the times? Has this been already solved in CMSF? Or am I still awaiting the next step in PBEMing?
