Is CMSF Fundamentally flawed beyond patching???
J Ruddy replied to Charlie901's topic in Combat Mission Shock Force 1
Well, I'm still shelved on CM... I think I have 1.03. CM WWII? I want to have the fun of CMBB/CMAK with the 3D graphics 'upgrade' of CM. As it sits CM is not a fun RTS game and is not a fun Wego game. It isn't learning curve, it isn't different, it's just wrong, a swing and a miss, so to speak. I prey CM2WWII will be fun... -
RT is better in CM:SF than any previous game that I've played. (ToW doesn't work on my machine)

Bugs... gawd how I hates bugs... finding bugs... fixing bugs... convincing someone something is a bug... I used to come here for a break from my job but it's as bad (or worse) than work here... bloody bugs... <font size = 20 color = red>BUGS!!!</font> I found another bug. I can't bring up the screen that lets me select the WWII based equipment and setting...

I could have saved it from p2, but I didn't. -

A fantastic album to doze off to. I do love Roger Waters' Lyrics but the sleep/dream references thoughout put me into a bit of a trance... which can be a good thing when you are an insomniac like me..! Radio KAOS is another Waters lyrical gem, though musically it leaves me wanting a shower.... Four Minutes is a classic example: [billy:] "Four minutes and counting." [Jim:] "O.K." [billy:] "They pressed the button, Jim." [Jim:] "They pressed the button Billy, what button?" [billy:] "The big red one." [Jim:] "You mean THE button?" [billy:] "Goodbye, Jim." [Jim:] "Goodbye! Oh yes This ain't au revoir, it's goodbye! Ha! Ha! This is KAOS It's a beautiful, balmy Southern California summer day It's 80 degrees... I said balmy... I could say bomby Ha! Ha! O.K. I'm Jim and this is Radio KAOS And with only four minutes left to us Let's use this as wisely as possible.... ([Molly:] Everybody got someone they call home) Out at Dodger Stadium It's the bottom of the seventh The Dodgers are leading three to nothing over the Giants And for those of you who are looking to go surfing tomorrow Too bad (Telephone rings) I'm kinda lost in here to tell you the truth O.K., good Ladies and gentlemen If the reports that we are getting are correct This could be it Billy, if you're listening to me Please call now." After a near miss on the plane You swear you'll never fly again After the first kiss when you make up You swear you'll never break up again And when you've just run a red light Sit shaking under the street light You swear to yourself you'll never drink and drive again Sometimes I feel like going home You swear you'll never let things go by again Sometimes I miss the rain and snow And you'll never toe the party line again And when the east wind blows Sometimes I feel like going home [Jim:] "Billy, if you are listening, please call." [Californian Weirdo:] "Sole has no eyes." [Molly:] "Goodbye little spy in the sky They say that cameras don't lie Am I happy Am I sad Am I good Am I bad?" [Jim:] "Billy, if you're listening, please call." [Californian Weirdo:] "Sole has no eyes Sole has no eyes." [billy:] "Ten, nine, eight, seven..." [Margaret Thatcher:] "Our own independent nuclear deterrent Has helped to keep the peace." [billy:] "Six, five four, three..." [Ordinary Person:] "...you've go a job..." [billy:] "Two, one..." [Margaret Thatcher:] "For nearly forty years" [Jim:] "Goodbye Billy." -
The scarecrow thing cracks me up. I thought maybe the guys were being punished "hold your arms out!"

Red on Red - Afghanistan, Chechnya?

Yes, I am planning on building mainly Red on Red or Violet on Violet! -
So... if the game works on Windows XP with my ATI x200 integrated POS, and the DEMO runs on Windows 2000 with my ATI x700 (haven't tried the game yet), but crashes on Vista / ATI combination, would this logically point to a problem with the game, with ATI hardware, with ATI Vista drivers, or with Windows Vista? And for those that don't understand OpenGL - it is a programming interface, so that you can use the same code to speak to any number of video cards. In the old days (very old days) programmers had to write drivers for each video card - but with the introduction of standards for video interfaces (Directx and OpenGL) programmers, in theory, could write one piece of code that would work with all compatible video cards. If the game code works for ATI on XP & 2000, and works for nVidia on XP, 2000 & Vista, is the problem with the game code? I imagine it *may* be possible to debug the problem with ATI/vista to the extent of "we make this call to OpenGL and it crashes" but I don't know if a work around could be implemented by BFC to get around the problem in the OpenGL layer.

AMD 3000+ Radion x200 integrated card 1GB ram XP CMSF plays ok at lowest settings but for some reason the scrolling on the glidepoint doesn't work. Not a big deal, I use the kbrd instead. Actually, the more I think about this, the more it makes sense - it doesn't exactly replicate the functionality of the wheel on a mouse. I still see brutal shift and ctrl locks, though I haven't applied 1.01a yet (still paradox 1.00) I still need to install on my main PC - the DEMO worked fine on it under Win 2k. Cheers! Edit - larger scenarios slow down (S_L_O_W_D_O_W_N!) in RT mode on the nb. [ August 03, 2007, 07:15 AM: Message edited by: J Ruddy ]

Now that's funny...

FYI: It runs great on my AMD 2600+ at home. -

As an univited guest, I think it is my duty to point how how much more appropriate The Lord of Bedside Manwhores may be. I'm just saying... -
Except by Battlefront themselves, which somehow seems relevant. So try not to present speculation as fact. It's misleading and untruthful. </font>
