I was wondering when someone, would start a 'My uber-tank isn't uber enough' topic. There is a common misperception that the Abrams is totaly invulnerable to anything shy of a tactical nuke.

sorry double post.

This worked for me in conjunction with uninstalling the ATI catalyst software, unfortunately I have to set affinity + priority every time I start the game up (is this normal??), but at least Im playing!

Forgot to mention, I say 'SEMI stable' because every so often I get little hangups, where the screen will freeze for a split second the the frame rate will build back up in a sec or two. Im sure with my previous setup would have resulted in a crash.

Well after further playing around I have found a SEMI stable configuration.. -I uninstalled the ATI catalyst software after trying the 7.8 beta version with no luck. -uninstalled the AMD optimizer. -run on one cpu and priority one above normal I managed to play 10 QBs and get thru the part of 1st campaign mission that was always freezing on me without a problem. This compared to 4/5 times crashing with 3/4 of the time requiring a hard re-start.. Madmatt, hope this helps you narrow down the gremlin(s), if you want me to try some things out for you let me know.

Im stuck on the first campaign mission because when ever I use arty it freezes up, but Im getting so many other crashes that its only a small piece of the puzzle.

Thanks anyways! I think Im going to order a new processor and reinstall the OS and see if that does anything. But I probly wont get around to that for a week or two....

Still getting crashes almost every game I try and play, most of them seem to be occurring when I move the camera to a new part of the map and my computer is processing the detail on the new terrain, also last crash was precipitated by what sounded like 100 syrian voices trying to play all at once! Ive been fiddling around withsettings disabling processors, tweeking ATI catylst, AMD optimizer on/off, ngame setttings , ect ect some seem more unstable than others but Im still getting the same problem..

I'd really like to see a 'rewind' function for real time play even if its only 10 seconds or so it would really help keep track of whats going on.

Okay updated my driver, and finished one saved game no problem. Started a largish scenario (the red on red city fight, awesome!!) 10mins in and it looked as tho it had crashed, I started hitting ctrl/alt/del- nothing. Tried alt/escape and the background sound stopped and I got a windows cursor that I could move around the bottom of my screen.. played around for a bit more then left it for 30secs and it slowly started working again... almost finished the scenario when same thing happened but it didn't manage to pull out of it.. had to hard re-start. Other than this issue it runs pretty damn good on improved graphics settings, even the big city map ran good down low, though when I pulled the camera back it did get a little choppy but I was expecting that anyways. Im planning on a getting a new processor soon which should fix that..

First off Im having a blast getting my ass kicked by the AI.... Thats until seemingly randomly the game freezes up. 3 games have ended in 2 ctrl/alt/del's and one with a hard re-start. One of these was when i used the zoom (z) key and i believe this one ended with the re-start. the other two were while scrolling around the map. I'll continue playing and keep you posted. 1)Battlefront version (1.01 right?) 2)AMD Athlon 64 X2 duel core 3800+ @ 2.02Ghz 3)Radeon X1900 512mb Driver Version = 8.252-060503a-032464C-ATI 4)2gig RAM 5)XP media edition 6)see above

I had the same problem until I figured out that its asking for the 24 odd number CD key. Doh!

So its the fault of all the countries that weren't convinced by the sketchy reasoning for going to war in the first place? Any blame for the current situation rest squarely on the current administration. Considering how shoddily the whole situation has been run, no-bid contracts and all, and after seeing the disturbing video of that S. African outfit shooting up random civilian vehicles, I call em as I see em, mercs...

I was just thinking in lieu of a full playback feature the ability to 'rewind' maybe a minute of RT action would be useful and give a classic CM 'WeGo' feel to RT CMSF. I found in CMx1 that sometimes I'd miss an important piece of action and be left wondering what popped my king tiger! Although a full playback feature would be really cool, this would be a good trade off and give a better overview of the action when things get really hectic.

Ive seen a high-res version of this video. Even at close range and using a 'direct-fire' method of employing the weapon the drogue 'chute appears to deploy properly, the warhead hitting nose-first. Chilling video indeed.

Well said HardRock, I preordered and have no regerets, I knew this wasn't going to be realtime CM. The first couple of times I played I was really frustrated at the LOS arrangment, but once I started really looking at what this game is.. basically the anti-thesis of CoH, FoW, ect... Im even more pleased with it - as is. Sure it needs a tweek or two, but I think it delivered what was advertised, good work Battlefront for seeing it through.

enjoying as is but a few tweeks would be great.

I was under the impression that MBT were pretty much impervious to primitive IEDs other than maybe throwing a track and a few ringing ears, I was shocked when i found this slide show web page. Sadly the hollow-charge and EFP IEDs seem to be doing there job.

It took me about five tries to get the download to work with Getright, I was getting a 'file not found on server' message.

Ive tried it 4 times with no luck, managed to take the last 2 tanks out with ATRs but by then all my rifle men were toast. Anyone got any tips?

Thanks for the link Zrix, got it in 20 minutes!

25, Canadian used to build armour models and read every book i could find on ww2, played every CC- my fav being A Bridge Too Far, Half-Life and Counter-Strike from the beginning, was searching for a realistic ww2 game until i stumbled upon CMBB then it was all over! I have been playing Red Orchastra and STALKER while i wait for TOW and CMSF.
