...Doesn't matter how bad I might feel, stop in here for a bit and I have a smile on my face.

yes, you're right. After High School I joined the army in July of 68 ..18 yrs. old. Yes I said joined ..not so bright I guess but I did it. Got out of the army and home from nam in 71.

LOL ...yes, I'm pretty sure I did not dream that I was there.

As do we commanders, such as me. ;(

What he said. I like your kind of annoying. Small unit action is what I crave. We must be a very small minority.

Emrys is almost always right.

I too have a problem with Deadlines just like you ...in scenarios, but we won't go there.

I turned 66 this month and I served in nam 70-71

So ..I took another look at the shaders being off when starting the game. I didn't try all of the scenarios but it seems that it only happens with one in particular. Kind of odd but I would say nothing to worry about.

Forgot to add ...I am not using a laptop, it's a desk top gaming rig. Also this is not a game breaker by any means, just a little quality of life thingy. Not a big deal at the moment, just a fyi.

Same thing here, full game, win10. Shaders turned on in options, start a battle ..shaders are off. Turn shaders on with hotkeys, exit out and shut game down. Start game back up and check options, shaders are on. Start battle shaders are off ..have to use hotkeys to turn on. Never noticed this until someone pointed it out. So, yes it's happening.

I thought they said around the first of May or after.

is this for real?

Thank you Sir, a lot of extra work for you. Much appreciated.

I was never a Chicago fan ...guess that would explain it.

I don't get it ...

not seeing your pics either on my end. See all the rest though.

After thinking about it I have to say this ...Guys like Carlos Hathcock are the exception not the rule. Most of the guys in combat are of the spray and pray crowd. Being able to pick off a Head sticking out of a hatch at will is not that simple. G.I.'s able to do that anytime, all the time are few and far between. I'm pretty sure there needs to be some kind of modifier applied to these gunners. I'm not sure what it is Charles could do to make it seem to be more reasonable, but I trust they will eventually come up with something.

I agree ..take a long hard look at it, but if it is going to mean that the only way to butter it up is going to turn the vehicle in question into a super human unstoppable killing machine, I would opt to leave it alone for now. I've been down that road of 'be careful what you ask for because you may get it' more than once in my life time. It usually turns out that I should have kept my mouth shut! All in all ...it's just an amazing game. Just my opinion though. Good job guys.

Is that a jab at St. Louis Cardinals?

I can't agree more ....quit busting each others chops.. agree to disagree and let it be. @iluvmy88 don't hate or leave the forum ...you said you were a mechanic for 10 years in the army (think that's what you said). So was I ...only a different era. I was a 63B and a 63C, but that was way back when. Spent 3 yrs. 68 to 71 in the Army. One tour RVN. So stay here please. @JonS Same with you. You also have contributed much and lots of experience. I enjoy reading everything that all you guys post, I just don't post to much myself. Bottom line is ..it's a game forum, a game that tries to re-create real life. It's fun. Lets try to keep it that way. I know, boys will be boys, but dust yourselves off, shake hands and let it go. Please. Regards, Dennis

@semhustej ...Forgot to add, but I think they are in the process of making all this patching and engine upgrading stuff a little easier, but I think they just haven't gotten around to doing CMFI yet.

@semhustej ...Here is what I would do ...I wouldn't uninstall anything. Lets think simple here. Just download the patch for 1.12 for your operating system (PC or MAC) and install it. After that I would re-install the 3.0 upgrade... it will overwrite any files changed by the 1.12 patch and I think you will be good to go. I could be wrong but I think that will take care of your problem. Hopefully one of these guys maybe even Steve himself will correct me if I'm wrong.

Here is what the store page says for purchase of the 3.0 upgrade "The v3.0 Upgrade for CM Fortess Italy is not a standalone game. You need the Combat Mission: Fortress Italy basegame, patched to v1.12, in order to play." Also my copy of CMFI with the 3.0 upgrade says on the main menu screen that it is v1.2 but it does not say engine 3.0

Did you install the patch to bring it to 1.12 before installing 3.0 upgrade? I could be wrong but I think you may have missed that patch before installing 3.00.
