  1. Well this will make you giggle.. But .... Um... The game is v1.03 straight from the box. - All I did was break it with my patches. I'll be sitting in the corner wearing a funny hat. Thanks a million, Schrullenhaft, for all your time invested in helping me - I would not have checked If you hadnt mentioned it. (Cause the game was cheap I automatically figured it was an old version.) Ostfront here I come!
  2. I suggest you all try ROME total war. [For interface and camera control - Not for enemy AI:)] That uses the wheel mouse for zoom in and out and handles cameras very, very well. Theres no denying, with all the good will in the world that the interface alone does make CM feel antiquated. (Alternatively let the players be able to assign all the hot keys and controls themselves.(preferably with speed and sensitivity sliders)) Add a bit of lighting to the maps (not too much to ask for in the year 2000+) so that players can spend more time commanding and making tactical decitions rather than messing around with the LOS "stick" half of the time. And allow Shift-M go all the way up to full squad numbers of men. And there you'd have it. Solid gold.
  3. Um... the cdv CMBB 10.1 seems to be 68Meg.. But I guess that should be the right one since it's on the cdv site...
  4. I followed links from Battlefront.com but I'm pretty sure I got the cdv ones. The 1.01 claimed to me 95Meg but is only 66,5 when downloaded. 1.02 is 27,2M 1.03 is 24,6M I'll try downloading new patches and let you know if I have any luck. When I become president of the world them there developers will have to name different version patches with different names
  5. Well CM2 does seem to break down after having had the 3 upgrades. As it worked fine without the patches. But now it can't find the CD. And there are no ticks set in the shortcut/properties/compatibility. Any idea how I can get it working?
  6. Aaah! Compatibility mode is an XP thing. Just tried installing on my XP laptop and that worked out fine. And Combat Mission 3 works on my 2000 too. I had disk 1 in the drive - proves only Disc 2 was recognised. (Probably that is written somewhere and I was too flustered to pick up on it.) So now I can play CM3 - But still I can't get CM2 to run. Maybe I'll give that a spin on the laptop too just to make sure its no physichal error with the CD.
  7. Hi I've purchased Combat mission 2 + 3 today.. But I can't start them up. I'm told to put the CD in, which I of course have. Reading though the troubleshooter guide I'm told to change "Compatibility Mode" under Preferences for my shortcut. I have no "Compatibility Mode tag??" What is going on?! How hard can it be to make a game start in windows - it's 2005!!! This gives me wibes of the nasty dos days... I run windows 2000 with service pack 4 I have patched both games up to v1,03 Someone for godssake help me - I want to play! *upset* Appreciate any help or explanations. d
