Redwold you have been a massive help and it now works! For Vista its the following: Right click on desktop > Nvidia Control Panel > View > advanced > Programme settings* > CM Africa Korps > Antialisaing mode > Override application settings and set to 2x *I chose this option over global settings as if i am to be honest i have no idea what am really doing lol!

Thanks for the help, but could you elaborate? Where do i find these options? I dont understand if you mean this for only the latest cards and for Vista, as for XP i only used Nvidia cards and had no problems; played the game on 3 different generations of the card.

I played no problem on XP, whats the major difference? Is there a work around?

Hi all I have recently upgraded to Vista and have just installed the game then patched it. Game loads ok, scenarios load ok but then i get this mad graphics problem making the game compeltly unplayable. Please see the links to the screenshots of the problem, the screenshots do not obviously highlight how the flickering of the duplicate images. The computer is Pentuim duel core 2.50 ghz, 4gb Ram, vista home prem 32bit with a Nvidia, Geforce 9400 GT 1gb. I have never had any problems running the game before although it was with much weaker systems using Nvidia Geforce cards however they were all on XP. Any advice on how to get the game working?

Video card is an Nvidea, cant remember the model however. It appears when routing through the bmp file that files are indeed missing! Am going to reinstall and see what happens :S Edit: Meh it appears that a simple reinstall solved all the problems. :confused: Oh well cheers for the help [ February 03, 2008, 06:54 AM: Message edited by: The_Enigma ]

The lastest version of CMBB goes out already patched. For those who have an older version and want it patched, all they have to do is download it from the likes of Fileplanet, it takes like a minute to set up an account plus its Free. At any rate most other companies do this to, when ive patched games in the past, like 75% of the time had to go to the likes of fileplanet etc

Nope lol Ill reinstall it all tomorrow then Will do a search to see if i can find this dudes posts cheers

I remember playing some scenario where you were given a few Tigers only and had to halt a Soviet tank advance through a town. I remember using one to block each of the main roads through the town and destroyed something like 30 T34/75 in the process, only loss being one Tiger imobilised, so not really a loss - although he ended up being surrounded by T34s and destroyed them all. Agaisnt someone else however, i remember racking up quite a few kills with one Tiger agaisnt my mate in a CMAK scewnario - think it was like 7 kills or something.

To might want to start using some form of houserules which you state before buying your forces. I.e. no KV tanks or put a limit on them etc As for increasing the lifespan of your infantry, have you tried investing in FOO or support weapons like machine guns? Thinning there ranks out via killing them or braking them at range is more perferable then letting them close on you. If ammo is an issue you may wanna pick some good old regular infantry, they pack more ammo? Or have a good look around the editor to see which squad types pack the most punch and ammo, i seem to remember cavaly packing a nice punch and carting some decent ammo but i may be wrong there.

Hey guys, since my main computer broke am on a spare one which i have installed by CM games onto. However CMBB has been providing me with a few problms which i have never experianced before. When the game has been on this machine perviously it has worked fine and on my own one its fine. Anyhoo, several units scenarios are coming just white - now i know this happens occasionaly, however this appears to just be for certain units like if there bmp files dont exist and also provides an wierd icon of the unit i.e: Now i can confirm on that scenario, were there was a hell load of other halftracks, tanks, infantry etc etc only that halftrack and another one of the same model were like that. Same has happened in another scenario were 2 Panzer IVG display like such with the wierd unit icon but all other units on map are fine. The second wierd thing to happen is that if i click on some of the units, it appears to mostly be the opposing force, the game will crash and i get this message: Any ideas whats going on here, in all the time i have owned and played CMBB i never experianced these problems. My BB game is from the anthology and is already patched to 1.3.

The original poster should stop acting like a winey bitch .... come on seriously! Fileplanet - CMBB patch 1.03 Thats the latest patch and its free to download, if you have to you just make an account with the website free of charge.

"Sorry to bother you Chaps, were in a bit of a binder here. It would be awfully nice of you to lend us a hand and give fritz a damm good thrashing at *insert co*ords here*" Am pretty sure thats how they did it, yep. Edit: I was reading through bits of one of the sites that website cites at the bottom earlier on. Link It does seem to have quite a bit of info on there, it also has sections for engaging targets and fire plans etc so that might have some of the info you need buired in there? the stuff i was reading through was the lessons from World War 1, seemed like pretty intresting stuff.

I use to play COD:UO to death, played on a server with a great bunch of guys. Allot of team work and rifle action - unlike most servers. I thought the SP part of COD2 was good but i havnt played the multiplayer part since the first few go's - most people in my exp were running around with shotguns! British desert maps had most of the British team armed with garrands and the Germans with MP44s etc Killed the fun for me, for some strange reason no one seemed to co-op as much as they use to either. Last time i played anything online other then CM lol

Lurking in the shadows for sure! Nicknames was not the norm in the German army. It might seem to have been, given the widely known Ofenrohr, Möbelwagen and what have you. But it wasn't, and I don't know of any popularly conceived nicknames for german tanks used by Germans during the war. Nor do I recall any female names or other colourful, romantic names. I am challenged to find any German tanks wearing US-type Pinup girls or cartoonish figures on them. If colourful at all, German tanks would be decorated with colourful unit emblems, not individual such. In contemporary sources, in particular war diaries, one will often find individual tanks refered to by their call-name (radio call, such as "Sun One" or "Red Two" etc). When tank types were still mixed (II, II and IV) the Pzkpfw IV can be referred to as Heavy (Heavies). Tiger, Panther, Lynx - these names were all quite dedicated PR efforts, projected from top down, thus not popularly conceived nicknames in any sense. A success they were too, as these names stuck real quick among friend and foe alike. Incidentally, wouldn't the Panther be a "Mark Five" to a Brit/CW soldier? Or did they stick with "Panther"?
