Vista 64 Ultimate and no problems here.

Crocky, Thanks for your input. Ron

Ber, Thanks for your reply. I have noticed a great deal of Soviets already. :eek: We have started to use tripod to pass the files. Actually a pretty good system. The last file unzipped was 5.1 MBs. Ron

wbb_99, Thanks for your reply and efforts on the side of this matter. Ron

Well Redwolf, your attitude is snotty and you need to come down off that high horse or it sounds like you have had some bad opponent selection in the past. Sorry I never had that problem. It must be a karma thing. I have played CMBO from the very beginning, hell I purchase 10 copies of it so far. I have played tiny, small, large, huge games with more armor and smoke going off then in the game mentioned above. I have a QB that is much, much bigger going in CMBB and there is more action (I have more tanks on the board than the Pop Guns and Elephants Scenario alone, not even knowing what my opponent has brought to the table) going on, but the file size is a modest 350kb. There is a problem. People might want to accept that is how it is, but I would prefer not to. I don't accept it in my professional life and prefer not to accept it in my personel life. I suppose in the end I will have to accept it, but I suspect it will be a item that will be quietly patched. I didn't want to voice this, but I suspect CMBB has slipped in the quality department (code optimization) because of the 20th Sept deadline that CDV put out there. The reason I haven't voiced this thought until now is that it will be preceved as a trolling post. It is my thought at the moment.

Poor attitude Redwolf. Anyway the "open question" is for Battlefront. Actually a huge concern and I would like to see a comment from them about the larger PBEM for such a small scenario. If the larger PBEM transfer is here to stay, then so be it, but I suspect it is a little bug that didn't get squashed. I don't buy your answer wolfy boy. The bump is to keep to the top of the list , and I will bump until the topic is locked or I get some response from Battlefront.

BUMP

Kahking, Welcome to the cult of Combat Mission. Winzip only gets it down a little ways. Right now me and my buddy are passing 1.6 mb files compressed/zipped. Multiplayer is a blast btw. Don't hesitate to play it. Ron

Gentlemen, Thanks for the replies. I guess I will have to watch the scenarios and file sizes after a while. The scenario we are playing is actually quite small to be honest btw, but if that is how it is, that is how it is. I feel sorry for the broadband challenged. Ron

Bewary, Thanks for your reply... I think there is only six tanks involved. I suspect CMBB has some issues with this since in CMBO I could play huge games that never got about .5 mb movie files. I can't imagine that many changes in CMBB that would require such big PBEM movie files. Ron

Me and a buddy are playing Elephants and Pop Guns PBEM. We are barely into the game (7 files) and we just noticed we are passing 2+ MB files???? Tell me something is up. Lucky for us we are broadband folks, but I can't imagine that 2+ MB files are the norm. Ron PS. Yes 2MB after zipping. :eek:

I recieved both TacOps V4 and CMBB Monday. Durango, CO [ September 24, 2002, 06:40 PM: Message edited by: Catgh ]
