Where are we supposed to look to find out how to install mods? All the mods for CMBN I have downloaded come with no instructions. I hate that.
-
Great, just bought a brand new copy on ebay for $6 plus $4 shipping. Will finally be able to try it.
-
Never mind, it worked with the next mission I created.
-
No, it was a battle generated with the battle generator, and it's not listed in the mission folder. It seems that once you make the mission (battle) you can play it but not delete or reopen it to modify it.
-
The manual says it will be the first to come up in the mission editor, but it is not listed there.
-
Ok, I made a simple qick battle in the battle generator and played it. How do you now delete or modify it. I can't find the mission file. Or I think the game calls these battles, not missions. I'll check the mission generator manual too as I didn't read it yet. Thanks.

Yes, the grass looks TERRIBLE the way it pops in, ect. And I think the game actually looks better without it (desert, anyway). It would look better and run faster if it could be turned off completely, can you? Keep the trees and bushes, nix the grass.

The one thing I don't like about the camera controls is it sems that you can only do one camera movement at a time, where in CM1, CMBB, and TOW you can pan (encircle) and move the camera forward/back, ect. at the same time. Which made for a cool effect, and a truly free camera. In CBSF if your panning and you hit the move forward, ect. button, it stops all movement and you have to repress forward to start it moving again and can only press one. I know this is how CMSF is, I just liked it better the other way.

Clicking on little triangles at top of screen selects units but it has to be done carefully or else it pans the screen forward. Clicking on units or unit icons on screen should select units but doesn't.
-
Yes, left clicking on units or unit icons does nothing but clear selection. Only the - and = keys select units but left clicking on ground (movement,ect.) works.

Luckily I am on the last mission in the American campaign so I didn't install the patch so I could finish it before patching. It's pretty common for new patches to nulify saved games, that's why I knew not to install it yet. I will go play the campaign again after the patch to see the difference though.

I had no problem setting up a LAN game between my computer and my son's, however, the games were all too laggy to be considered playable. My Dell XPS runs the game great, my son's computer is a little slower, but it only works (gets connected) if my son's computer hosts, but I would think a direct connection shouldn't play that bad. I'm figuring any connections over the internet would be even worse and am probably not going to even try.

Peeled mine off ok, stuck it inside and scotched taped over it. Used GOOF OFF or GOOGONE to clean up the front.
-
Got mine in the mail today, Tampa Florida.

Yes, after game running fine for 2 days, now I get crash problem. Saving doesn't help either. First started on Razor's Edge senario, bout 1/2 way thru.
-
Thanks, this helps alot.
-
Ok, thank you.
-
Yeah, it wouldn't be so bad if you had more time and enemy units couldn't see or acurately fire at you from what seems like miles away.
-
I made move camera forward - W, Move back - S, rotate left - A, rotate right - D, Zoome to unit-E, and I left elvevation on the mouse wheel. Helped alot for me, being right handed. I also took away movement and attack arrows for looks. Plus took away always showing icons. I also don't like seeing enemy icons on units that are too far away to really see clearly, seems like it's cheating to know where AT guns are when you really can't see them from where you are. But it helps gameplay with the site line colored circle system. But I think the games site distances are too long honestly, but maybe that's just when my guys are standing up. Game growing on me.
-
The elisence worked for me on both my computers, (I wanted to try multiplayer). But I can't find the unlicensing folder anywhere in the control panel on either computer. I have XP and no matter if I display classic, other, ect. There is no elic. folder anywhere.
-
Ok, I finished the single mission Whirlwind, then it goes to a screen where I can up the points for my surviving men (I thought ok, maybe there is a second part to the mission). I distribute the points and save it. Now what? Will I have the experienced men if I replay the mission, or play the other American mission? Or does it automatically go to the experience points screen just because a mission ended? I can see this is for continueing campaign missions, but after a single player mission what does it do when you hit continue after giving out exp points? Seems like hitting continue just goes back to the points distribution again.
-
Yes, the thing I most miss is the quick mission type generator (Med Total War, CM, CC) where you get/give points and pick your forces and map, or create one, then have a battle of whatever size you want. Makes replayability almmost endless. I think the mission/campaign generator will be much too confusing for me.
-
Got the full game download from the link and code in my original email confirmation. Working great!

Thank you. And don't let negative comments get to you, it just shows that there are people out here that care and are passionate about your product. It would be much worse if you didn't get any responces to the problem. I guess I planned my vacation perfectly, will have plenty of time to get aquainted with the game.
Playing purchased copy
in Combat Mission Battle for Normandy

Hello. I have the disc version purchased copy of CM Battle for Normandy, receipt and order #. But my new computer does not have a disc drive. Battlefront never responds to emails as I found what you're supposed to do and contact them to get a Steam cd key and can't D/L the updates to get rid of the error I get when transferring files over from laptop that plays the game. They state that they respond within 24 hours, but have not in 2 cases (tickets).
