We Build We Fight

I too have FRAPS but as noted huge AVI files. I do a lot of sports video taping/production and none of records in AVI. Has anyone here used a MP4 based game recorder? Nice high def, much smaller files. One such piece of software is MOVAVI. Another is Mirillis' ACTION. Would be interested in any MP4 recording information.

I'm running Windows 7 64 bit and BB & AK work just fine. I did not reinstall, I completely copied the entire game folder from old HD to new HD. Works great! What setup are you using?

It's still a limit, just a large one ;-) . If you use it with large forces just be ready for amazing file sizes! 64 bit a possibility?????

So the game is designed for smaller battles but as Steve pointed out others may press well beyond those. BF has allowed this to some degree by limiting the area to a large 4K by 4K. It's up to customers to upgrade their computers to deal with it, if they choose. Looks like my GeForce GTX 470 will handle the load well. Any chance the game moving to 64 bit so more RAM can be applied?

Absolutely! How about a larger force on the biggest map possible.......?

Looking at 57 this July. Started with Avalon Hill boardgames (France 1940, Third Reich, D-Day, Stalingrad, Midway) vs my step-brother about 1969-70. Still have 3-4 of them. Went through the whole electronic progression from Pong, Atari 2600, Intellivision, Bally Astrocade, Atari ST to my first computer a Gateway 386. Started out mainly liking the sports games on the game consoles then played games such as Empire-Wargame of the Century, Silent Service, Their Finest - Hour Battle of Britain, Knights of the Sky, M1 Tank Platoon................... Now about 4 years from retirement, looking forward to more playing time then. No plans to stop due to age alone!

I found posts on ROW III, IV, V but not I or II. The search continues.

Please add me as a returning ROW player looking for combat in Normandy! Is there a location showing all the ROW game results?

To bad they didn't build a 64 bit version too, for more applied RAM.

You were absolutely correct, thank you. Comodo has a disable slide switch and a deactivate checkmark. The checkmark with restart allowed CMSF to start instantly. I'll have to figure out what that portion of Comodo does, I do still have its virus protection and firewall. I'll reinstall SuperAntiSpyware and Malware, one at a time, and hopefully be done with this episode of Computer Incompatibility. Thanks again Schrullenhaft!!

I also completely removed SuperAntiSpyware and Malwarebyte just to be sure, no help. I'm off to eLicense (hope that's a brand name) and see if there are diagnostic tools available.

It doesn't say to reboot to make it effective but I tried it, disabling all three portions, and rebooting. Same problem, no game. I did look elsewhere, Control Panel, eLicense Control (32 bit). When I attempt to open this I get an error message: Explorer.EXE This file does not have a program associated with it for performing this action. Please install a program or, if one is already installed, create an association with the Default Programs control panel. I'm using Firefox to access the internet. When I opened Default Programs I don't recognize an eLicense file to attempt associating with CMSF.

I've tried turning off all portions of Comodo, Virus protection, Firewall, and Defense+ but to no avail. Windows 7 needs to notice that an application has been attempted to start and having failed, provide immediate notification on why there was a failure. It should not be this hard. Guess I'll go bitch at MS, Comodo and eLicense and see if there are other options.

Yep, you're right, purchased 1.21, installed and loaded 1.31. My problem now is the game won't start. When I double click the icon, Windows 7 rotating Blue Circle appears for 10-15 seconds then disappears. I set the program to run as administrator and I tried the two DEP options but CMSF just won't start. Comodo Internet Security Premium, SuperAntiSpyware & Malwarebyte are used. I only ask that the elicense be improved. Perhaps there is a way a built in troubleshooting program could oversee program execution and identify what is stopping start up???

The license is part of the sale from Battlefront for the v1.31 update! It is listed in the online order but is not found in the emailed receipt.

I'm trying to reload Shock Force. I purchased the Paradox CD years ago. I reinstalled it on my Windows 7 64 bit machine and updated it to 1.21. It started just fine. I then purchased the 1.31 update but now it's asking me for my license number. I don't seem to have anything in the old packaging with a license number. I thought with the disk I was fine. Can anyone direct me to my next step?

What you put in the game with the additional year was QUALITY. Would it have sold the same? Maybe. Would it be considered as well today as it is? Probably not. All that could not have happened without the additional quality you built in. The work on tournaments today is greatly enhanced because of these details. Not willing to pay? Who said that? I have all three CMx1 games (CMx2 too!) I would be willing to pay more for the type of detail you put into CMx1. When you play games and tournaments for years after the initial investment, paying more for this enjoyment is easy. Paying $135 for games played over 7 years is what, $1.60 a month? Come on, charge me double, triple but give me what I want. When a customer lays down your asking price for your product, that buys a little respect. The totally obnoxious posters must be ignored. When you respond angerly, you're just lowering yourself to their level. That does you no good. Don't placate the jerks, ignore them. It's been your outbursts from time to time that is your weakness, not a strength. You've lost some CMx1 players already and stated you expected it. There's a chip on your shoulder about the way you dismiss it that rubs many the wrong way. I just don't think that was necessary. I will say I still have high hopes for CMx2. I don't care much for the SF world you've built and that's OK. I believe you'll continue to improve the game to the point where I'll enjoy it a great bit in a WWII setting. I'm even hoping for a post WWII - pre 1960 battle set where we can imagine all sorts of Soviet-NATO action (hint hint). Thanks for pounding out the patches and keep in mind I've got more than $1.60/month in my pocket for what I want!

Steve is THE Developer Charles is THE Coder So are you suggesting Steve fire himself ? </font>

Trust me, the feeling is mutual. Steve [/QB]

I downloaded the Paradox 1.07 patch from the link on your site to FileFront. Now I'm stuck with a hidden exe. that randomly plays rap crap when I start CMSF. After the music stops multiple error messages can appear saying: jCarousel: No Width/height set for items. This will cause an infinite loop. Aborting... Any ideas on ridding myself of this?

I just PrtScn too then paste into Power Point. I can then frame it anyway I want, add arrows, text, other photos, anything. Then I hit Power Point Show to see a full screen version of my final product, hit print screen and save as jpg with Microsoft Photo Editor.

This is for the FTP software, any free FTP servers available?

I don't know, but you're obviously a Seabee. I was in NMCB 5, you? </font>

How long until 1.08? 8^(

CM:SF was never going to be popular with the CM1 crowds for many of the reasons stated by Steve. Subject matter is totally different and of little interest to those gamers as a whole. What was hoped was a new better model, not one with stripped away features. Not one released over a year before it's time. If you wanted to break away from the CM platform it should have had a totally different name. No, we were looking forward to CM2WW2 someday, a much more powerful, visually enhanced game, with even more features and innovative controls than CM1. We weren't expecting to be ridiculed when we told you of our disappointment. Sure some folks get downright over the top but you don't have to take the bait. We don't need to know everything you're thinking! Ignore the crap, stop with the insults, fix the game, tell us the truth of where you're taking it and keep moving. I too bought the game out of the chute from Paradox through Amazon. Certainly glad I saved some money compared to Nemesis! I'll play this game for a diversion once you fix it. Hopefully I'll be able to play some PBEM with the few folks who could enjoy this period. If you never make a decent WEGO WW2 game from the engine, someone will and those of us caught waiting for you will welcome them with open arms and wallets. No worries..........go have a beer!
