    As Zatoichi correctly said, these issues have been addressed probably 6-7 months ago. If these were your main issues, you may wish to try the game again.

    I just got the game LAST WEEK, and am having the boarding issue -w- the 1.07 patch.

    I was not aware that the keys were user definable, but i stand by my statement that there is no good reason to have made the hot keys different in the first place.

    I will download the 1.08 patch and try again, however at this point i'm burnt out on CMSF so it will have to wait.

    I was only back at the BF boards looking for a way to play CMX1 on my new computer and figured i would pour some gas on the fire over here due to the attitude i perceived from the BF staff on the CMX1 boards.

    I really don't understand all the hostility, are you angry that you made a game series so good that people are still playing them after all these years? From my perspective CMX2 is sort of like the "new coke" if you remember that.

    Here is why i stopped playing CMSF after a dozen or so attempts.

    1) In the tutorial campaign i have never been able to get all my guys into their vehicles at the same time. There are always 1 or 3 stragglers milling about their vehicle while they rest of the squad is mounted up ready to go.

    2) the ridiculous interface with N for move S for reverse or what ever. It appears that you were trying to make the hotkeys as different as possible from CMx1 as possible just because you could. I can think of no good reason why you would not try to keep the hot keys the same as much as possible.

    I'm just grateful i waited and bought the game off ebay for $13 instead of buying it as soon as it came out like i did cmbb and cmak; back when i had a sense of loyalty to BTS.

    i am having a similar issue with the newest nvidia drivers on 2k, it will lock up but if i wait it will come back, or i can alt+tab out after a few tries

    is this the case with you as well bjorn

    let it sit and see if the game doesn't start back up

    don't think its heat due to happening when comp first booted sometimes , sometime after its been on all day. also doesn't always happen but when it does it will happen to cmbo and cmbb

    off to do more testing

    HELP

    using version 1.3.326 which i just downloaded

    it worked fine until i tried to convert a game to trusted/secure, then i got

    "Error while executing CMBB.VBS statement: Main

    Error: Unexpected quantifier

    Line: 737

    Text:

    Error 5018: Unexpected quantifier (Microsoft VBScript runtime error)"

    now i get that whenever i try to play a game, PBEM Helper opens but if i click play i get the error.

    uninstalling reistalling doesn't help

    you should check out the blitz while you're there its a good ladder, i've gotten a lot of good opponents there.

    A condensed version of the BaBaDcond turn randomizer for CMBO

    This is a program that doesn't make CMBO turns variable like in CMBB just randomly decides if you are both going to click cease fire in a certain turn. Helps avoid cheesy flag rushes in turn 19 of 20. the original program was over 5MB this is a gutted version that does not self install or register file types, but is fully functional and is 507KB zipped. Includes vague instructions which should be all you need."

    i got it, now the dilema

    anyone have any idea who or where badco is?

    the domain has been taken over by spyware, nester or some such redirect nonsense

    the file as it is, weighs in at over 5mb but the actual working part is under 1mb

    the rest being the installer which registers .ber files to the program, and puts it into c:/program files/badco

    this is totally unnecessary at the 4 mb toll

    so do i rip the guts out of the exe and make a zip of it (makes sense to me) or keep it intact, or do nothing until i hear from badco, all the directs of badco now are dead links.

    the program itself says it is freeware donate $2 to badco if you like it

    i just don't see the point of using 4mb of my space to host the file if i don't have to

    interested in hearing your opinions, eventhough i've pretty much made up my mind.
