Well that's good news then. I was worried cause I didn't see it in the list.

This is one of the most interesting Stryker variants in CMSF. Is there a reason not to include it ?

Also what happens if the trailer gets a separate hit ? Does it explode ?

I take it that we won't see a Sturm- or Jagdtiger before an Ardennes module ?

I didn't enjoy it. It once again paints a black and white picture of the Germans being honorable, with just some evil nutjobs being behind the war. Alone the idea that a few youngsters in the 18-20 yr demographic would have a jewish friend in 1938 is ridiculous. This age group was a prime target of the nazi propaganda. And the worst part is probably that the Polish resistance fighters are being depicted as almost as antisemitic as the Germans. Not saying that this didn't happen, but when you consider that Yad Vaschem has honored 6394 Poles (compared to 525 Germans) then it's kinda insulting to have such a plot (and no, I'm not from Poland but Austria).

My issue with the HOI series was always the horrible air/naval system as well as the poor invasion mechanics (landing 10 mechanized US divisions on the coast of Japan with no friendly base anywhere for 1000 miles....yeah sure). Also the game does not reflect the individual doctrines and technologies of the nations - HOI3 does not even have assault guns. Another example: tier IV heavy armor is the same technology for every nation, no matter if you play as Germany, US or Russians. There is no way to decide if you want to build fewer and more expensive high quality tanks or if you want to mass produce a standard model.

Off topic: but is that some tree mod in Oddballs's picture ??

I cannot find the 7,5 cm leIG18 in any available formation when starting a quick battle. There are some available as artillery, but there is no way to change them to "on map". They also don't show up under Specialist Teams (as they do in the scenario editor). Is this intended or was this gun no longer part of the OOB of German formations in 44 ?

Awesome patch. This is like it should have been from the start. Allahs Fist is smooth as silk now, with all details on. Core 2 Duo E6600 2Gigs DDR2 Pc800 Ram Nvidia 8800 GTS 320 Win XP Pro

With the paved road tiles I had less issues than with the Highway tiles. Anyway, thanks for the help m8.

You mixing paved road and highway tiles to do that ?

Having similar issues as Kilo. Im currently making a scenario of a town near a diagonal highway with 2 exits. But so far I either get pieces with the wrong texture or weird angled stuff. Another thing I want to create are realistic looking huge blast craters in middle of a road (but that for later). [ August 13, 2007, 09:19 AM: Message edited by: Dowarisch ]

Is it me or is it a huge pain in the A to create a realistic looking diagonal highway, I just can´t seem to get it right. Can someone please explain me in dummy-speech which tiles to use.

That hangar idea is great, damn genius.

Just blow up the whole roof with a Javelin

Im fooling around with the scenario editor and it seems the AI doesen´t grab their javelins once they disembark from their ride. Any way to tell them to do that ?

What about the Core2Duo&Geforce 8800 low fps issue ?

Alt-W to turn off shadows. I had a weird issue recently where I had not shadows at all and Alt-W turned off infantry. But my card has 320megs so Im not sure if its related.

As you know the AT3 has a minimum range of 500 meters. I already had 2 Quick Battles on small maps (less than 500m) where I received an AT platoon exclusively equipped with these missiles. I was not amused.

But with a warehouse full of computers I could finally build my Doomsday Machine Anyway, I think I noticed something else. It doesent seem to matter much which settings I use, the framerate is ALWAYS around ~10 on Allahs Fist, no matter if I run it on lowest details with AA, Vertical and Aniso off or on higher settings with some of these options on.

Completely fresh install to get rid of the shadow problem I had as posted here http://www.battlefront.com/discuss/ultimatebb.php?ubb=get_topic;f=70;t=000058 Shadows are ok now, but the low performance is still there ~10 fps on Allahs Fist when looking from edge to edge. Everything with lowest settings under 1024x768. [ July 29, 2007, 12:11 AM: Message edited by: Dowarisch ]

Im sorry Madmatt, I got a bit carried away since this is THE game I was waiting for this summer and with all my performance issues I get barely any playing time. I did the screenie right after pressing Atl-W on purpose, so people can see which is which. Ok more pain: After getting the shadow issue I first tried to use a registry cleaner to get rid of any entries that the demo might have left. Since my license on my old cleaner had run out I went and grabbed a free one from Chip Online which is a well know site. Big Mistake: The damn program ruined my Msoe.dll (a common problem with Outlook and a huge pain in the A when it happens). Before trying to fix the problem I ran Shockforce again to check if the registry cleaner had done anything....no luck. So I get out my WinXP install cd and went for a repair routine to get rid of the Outlook bug and fix my registry for SF. After installing and updating with SP2 I still have the same problem, no shadows. Finally I decided for a night session, made a backup of my data, formatted my boot hd and did a full clean reinstall of WinXP. Updated XP, dl´ed all the latest drivers and I finally got shadows again. But what it didnt fix is the horrible frame rate on my system. On the Allahs Fist map I still get ~10 fps with low settings and all options off when I point the camera from one edge of the map to the other. Intel Core2Duo 6600 2 gigs of DDR2 800 in interleave mode BFG Nvidia Geforce 8800 GTS 320 Creative Labs Soundblaster Audigy 2 ZS Asus P5B with latest Bios Logitech G11 Razer Diamondback ...all of it running on a freshly installed WinXP with latest drivers.

Moon, yes it was after one another. Full download version first, demo much later. Wolfseven, if YOU had read the hot keys menu you would know that there is no way to mess with the shadow hotkey since it is hardcoded and cant be edited in the hotkeys file.

This is the Battlefront version. I tried the demo because I wanted to check if it gives me the same low fps as the full version. I installed the demo into the default folder and my retail on another hd. I have uninstalled both and then reinstalled the retail and still get this bug.

Isnt that completely insane ? This one again proves not to buy from a small company that doesent have the funds to run a decent QA department. Combined with the performance issues I have Im really fed up by now. Is there any chance to send the preorder box back once I receive it get and get a refund ?
