    Graphics card without fan?

    in Combat Mission - Tech Support

    Posted

    I run CMBB With the GeForce FX5200 with no big problems. Though there was one time when it did wheez when I added 50% extra troops for the Huge 'Operation Zitadelle', but that was the only time

    I am running a dual xeon, 1.5Gb Ram system..

    Some mentioned the Ti card's I have to say that struggled with CMBB, (chequered board display, it would appear due to warm weather) surprising when it handled MOH and Return to Castle Wolfenstein with no problems

    Tactics

    in Combat Mission - Tips and Tricks

    Posted

    Hi

    Just wanted to share some 'real world' tactics that I have found work well in CMBB

    When in defence:

    Place heaviest weapons first (from armour/88's to HMG's)then build infantry positions around to support/protect them

    Depth - place units so they are not in a 'thin line'

    Arcs - all arc should be interlocking

    Mutual support - all unit positions should be able to support one another

    Concealment - hide until the last possible minute

    Reserves - always keep a reserve (even if its half a squad) to counterattack onto a taken postion

    Offensive spirit - be prepared to counterattack once you think you have beaten off the 'coup de main'

    General

    Armour works best in pairs - tanks on their own are more vunerable then you think

    APC's are not tanks best used in a stand off position and used to 'fire in' an infantry assault

    Probably been cover before, but I hope that helps

    CMBB Crashes my system

    in Combat Mission - Tech Support

    Thanks guys, to be honest I had tried switching off all background apps initially, but to no avail

    I took the sides off and I was able to complete a battle (Royal opponent) with it crashing 3 times. Looks like it was over heating of the graphics card. It is rather warm here in dear old blighty

    Thanks again for taking the time to respond

    CMBB Crashes my system

    in Combat Mission - Tech Support

    I installed this truely brilliant game 2 weeks ago. However, the last couple of days my system

    crashes after a few minutes of game play (loading a battle/operation). What happens is that the

    monitor displays a checkerboard pattern (alternating horizontal and vertical lines) or just goes

    white or sometimes black. My PC is then unresponsive to keyboard commands (alt/backspace even

    Ctrl/Alt/Del) I have to reboot the system with the main switch. Any ideas as what the problem

    may be. I have reinstalled the game, graphics/sound drivers etc to no avail.

    I have also installed all the pateches for the game now at 1.03 ver
