Hi All, I've purchased CM:SF from Gamersgate just now and I have also purchased the two add-on modules via the bundle deal. I'm a little unsure firstly what additional patches I might need and what I need to be aware of when licensing. So, I have the GG version which has a serial and the module bundle which has one license key. I've looked on the patch pages and it says that if you have the GG version and at least one module, then there is no need to download any patches as the modules will patch the game up when installed although some posts in the forum seem to contradict this. Also, I can't find a patch for SF and BOTH modules, the only ones I can see on the patch pages are for CM:SF plus only Marines OR British Forces but not both. Is this correct? So if I don't need any patches, do I wait until I install the modules before licensing? I ask because I don't want to waste a license install by mistake and I don't want to corrupt my install by installing a patch that I shouldn't. Cheers Mark

Hi All, I started a thread a while back about not being able to connect to an online game using Windows Vista. Since that time I have upgraded to Windows 7 and I can now report that all connection problems have been solved. The new version of Windows works fine with DiF, I was able to upgrade and join online games without any issues at all. For those that are using Vista and are having problems, an upgrade to Windows 7 will solve it. Granted, installing a new version of Windows is a large undertaking, but if you are thinking of upgrading at least you know that DiF will work. Cheers Mark

I was just wondering if there are updates in relation to a compatibility patch. Thanks Mark

I've not heard anything but I'm sure Brian will let us know when something is ready to test.

Thanks for the update Brian.

Hi Brian, I would be happy to beta test any patches for you if it helps. I am a software developer myself so I am familiar with testing and providing debug information if required. Thanks Mark

I have the same problem. I can log-on and update the game but I cannot start an online game at all. I receive the same Reason Code. I see there was some mention of a patch in the previous post, is this a reality and if so is there a time frame for completion. Thanks Mark

Hi, I am having trouble connecting to the game server and receive an error code -2146073824 when trying to connect. The game updated OK but form some reason I cannot play online. I am running Trend PC-cillin 2007 as my software firewall and Windows Vista 32. I have connected previously using this combination without troubles. The DiF executable is listed in my firewall exclusion list and I have even tried to turning the firewall off to connect but I receive the same error. The Windows firewall is also turned off. Thanks in advance Mark

Hi Guys, As long as it does not affect the missions I can live with it, although it would be nice to see it fixed. I have tried with and without the Action Log window with no change. Thanks Mark

Hi all, I get the following error when I start a new mission. The mission appears to play out correctly but I would like to know if the error is fixable. When I start a campaign mission I get an error dialog box when I click the "start" button and the initial horn sounds. I've just started playing the game so forgive my vague descriptions. Anyway, the error reads as follows: Error occurred in: DiFOGameClient Description: Object reference not set to an instance of an object. Trace Info: at bartbert.games.difo.client.forms.ActionLogForm.OnCommandReceived(Object sender, CommandMessageEventArgs e) The mission appears to play out OK, however as I am new to the game I can't be completely sure. Thanks in advance. Mark
