    Dearest

    Joe Shaw the "Beloved Justicar for Life of the Peng Challenge Thread",

    May 5th happens to be the birthing day of your beloved "BunsAgleam" from the outer boards. Also I googleized your cell phone number and got 13 pages of people with the same number.

    Just so you know.

    Ok, I'm only going to go through this one time.

    Step number 1: Unlicensed CMSF

    Step number 2: Uninstalled CMSF

    Step number 3: Checked my hard drive to make sure all files and folders for CMSF were gone ...all is gone.

    Step number 4: Cleaned my hard drive of crap ..temp. internet files etc.

    Step number 5: Defragged my hard drive.

    Step number 6: Rebooted my computer.

    Step number 7: Re-Downloaded "all inclusive 1.08 patch" ...just incase the one I already have was bad. And yes I have the correct patch for the pre-ordered BattleFront copy of CMSF that I purchased from Battle Front.

    Step number 8: Re-installed CMSF 1.01 from the disk that I purchased from BattleFront.

    Step number 9: Booted up the game and Re-Lincensed the game ..no problems.

    Step number 10: Played some scenarios and Quick Battles ...NO PROBLEMS ...repeat ..no problems.

    Step number 11: Exit out of game.

    Step number 12: Installed new copy of Patch "1.08 all inclusive".

    Step number 13: Booted up CMSF ..verified it says 1.08 at bottom of game. Ok.

    Step number 14: Played some scenarios ...played Great ..Flawless ...just like before I started all this.

    Step number 15: Clicked on Quick Battles and made some selections at the QB menu screen ........HOSED ....COMPLETELY and UTTERLY HOSED ...everything you see posted above and then some ...Sometimes crash to desktop ...sometimes the M$ "this program has experienced a problem and must be shut down" message ....sometimes hangs at 62% loading of QB ...sometimes the QB loads BUT after I do my set up as a Blue player ...I hit the GO button and BAM .....I'm now a RED player with the AI controlling the REDS ..I can issue orders to the reds but the AI takes over after my orders are complete ...When this happens sometimes when I click on a RED unit ..the whole map starts flashing yellow from dim to bright. AND ..SOMETIMES ...maybe 2 out of 6 times that I click on the Quick Battle button ...it loads up and plays the way it should ..flawlessly.

    One more time .....SCENARIOS and CAMPAIGNS play Great ...Flawlessly ..Anytime, Everytime.

    QB's ...completely and Utterly Hosed.

    Also, with this new install ...the game is completely stock. No user made scenarios have been added ...No user made QB maps have been added ....And NO mods have been added.

    Now ....JohnO and Mark ....What Exactly are you doing differently that I'm not doing that allows you to play QB's with absolutely NO problems what so ever? Are you playing possibly with a new beta patch that quietly fixed the QB's?

    Maybe someone is not telling the whole truth?

    I can take alot of stuff ...I'm not thin skinned ...I'm not a Grog that is upset that you didn't make the game just for me. BUT ...I do get very irate ...And you can confirm this with my wife ...I get Very nasty and physical when someone LIES to my face ...and NO, I am not making any threats ..just letting you know how much I dislike people who fib.

    So ...please tell me your not lying to me and these other guys ...When you say "I'm playing all kinds of QB's with no problems what so ever.

    The above problems were experienced at RT/Elite ..which I think I've already said above but you guys must not read the whole post ..cause the first thing you do is come back with a post and ask "what FOW" and was it Realtime or Turnbased.

    Gunz

    P.S. Yes ...I'm rather pissed off. Not because QB's are Hosed ...but because I think someone is trying to pull the wool over our eyes.

    Ok ...I'm done ...I think.

    I noticed you said battle sizes small to large ...no problems. I was using tiny battle size. So I went back and tried small, medium, large and huge ...no problems. Tried tiny again and again the above problem happens every time.

    I tried this with the QBG's map pack and the original QB maps that came with the game. Same problem.

    So it looks to be a problem with the Tiny Battle size option.

    Perhaps some of these have compatibility issues with the latest patch? They were developed in an earlier patching stage of the game.

    Just a thought.

    You might be right. All my QB maps are from the QBG map pack. I have not seen this problem with any of the scenario's.

    I guess it could of been happening before 1.08 ...I don't think I played any QB's with 1.07 to be honest.

    Same thing here. Had not tried any QB for a long time til about 3 days ago. I was blue ..as soon as I hit the go button the camera jump over to the red side ..I could see all the reds and I could issue orders at the same time the AI was controlling the red forces. This was RT Elite. I quit out of the QB. Tried 2 QB's tonight. First one did the same thing ..second one played ok. Had not seen this before ..but I haven't played any QB's for a couple of months.
