I need to give a thumbs up for 1.04. I really enjoy playing and that is really what it's all about, right? I look forward to further improvements.

How do I do this with the game running? Thanks.

Talk about going to a gun fight with a pea shooter!

Capita, Even with that command, they jump from the vehicle and stand around for a while and by the time they start moving "fast" there is only half the platoon left.

I have never been in combat so I really don't know. I ask a squad or platoon to move quickly across a small opening to the safety of a wall or building on the other side. the opening looks to be about ten yards across. They come under fire as they move into the opening. They immediatly become supressed and drop down in the middle of the open area and begin crawling (looks like wallowing)in no particular direction. They are slowly wipe out most of the time. If not, one or two may eventually be spared but they are so exausted and emotionally devastated that they are useless for at least 30 min by which time the scenario is usually over. Happens almost every time. Another is when a dismount oder is given to move quickly into cover. They soldiers dismount and then stand around, under fire as I scream at the monitor "MOVE"! Usually only two or three make it and they crawl all the way instead of running their ass off like I think I would! Wouldn't they speed up the short distance to safety instead of droping down in plain sight only to be slaughtered? I feel the best approach would be to suppress the area the enemy fire in coming from but in order to do that you have to get in their LOS and I become supressed instead because the game always has the enemy firing from some sort of prepared position. I'm still trying to figure out how to play the game in situations like this. I thinking now to blast away with all my artillery assets before moving any vehicles or soldiers.

I uninstalled CM:SF then reinstalled from the disk. I patched to 1.03 and things seem to be working so far. Must have been a corrupted file somewhere. I don't know. Thanks anyway.

No help, huh?

Another oddity. When the load works the load bar sequence is 25%, 50%, 62%, 72%, 92% then start. When it never works the load bar sequence goes 5%, 25%, 50%, 55%, 67% waits for a while then crashes. If it starts off at 5% I know it will not load. I t seem to be getting worse as I have not been able to load a saved game for quite a while. I have deleated all my save game and will start again. Do you think it might be wise to totally deleate the game from the hard drive and reinstall with the hard copy I just received. I could then reinstall the 1.03 patch? I have tried with Norton disabled and with the windows firewall disabled with no success. I have not tried with both turned off though but you shouldn't have to do this just to run a game.

1) I am using 1.03 but I think it has happened with each version. 2)In this instance I am trying to load saves from the same version, 1.03. 3)This has happened on new games which enentually loaded after I adjusted the options "down". Brandenburg & Wilcox for example. 4) I have two Gigs of RAM. Should be enough. Thanks for the help.

About 75% of the time ,when loading a saved game, I get a Microsoft message that says "CMSF has encountered a problem and must close". It ask if I want to send the details to Microsoft, I say don't send and I'm back at the desk top. I used to happen on start up of some of the larger scenarios but doesn't seem to any more. It almost seems like a timed out problem. The message pops up just as the loading line reaches 100%. Any suggestions would be greatly appreciated as sometimes I don't have time to complete a whole mission and must come back later. BTW I turned off Norton auto protect and that didn't help. Thank you.

Can't find an "evade" button. There is no control panel just a command panel. Is this a joke?

Quick/fast does help but I too feel that the men are moving in slow motion. Wish the animation could be seeded up a bit.

bump....are any development folks ever on here?

Brandenburg and Wilcox scenario. Both take quite while to load then as the game is starting up I get the Microsoft error message that there is a problem and the application must close. I usually get to the briefing page when it happens. I have the following: 1. Version 1.02 2. Pentium 3.2 GHZ 3. 2 Gigs RAM 4. 126meg ATI Radeon 9800 card. 5. Windows XP One other thing. The Factory Outlet scenario runs so slow with such mouse/cursor lag that it is impossible to play. Could this be part of the ATI card problem? Thanks.

Where is the best place to find community written scenarios? Thanks.

rying to purchase CMAK through digital download. Very user unfriendly. Have received email verification that my order ($35) has been processed but have not been able to download yet. Why is this so hard. Have used DD many times with Matrix games with no trouble. Have tried four times now and keep getting to the page that says that I alresdy have access to the game and can "redownload " it at my account page. Well my account page makes no sence at all. AM I JUST OUT $35????????
