Terrible Download Speeds
rudel.dietrich replied to rudel.dietrich's topic in Combat Mission Red Thunder
I will let this go. I have been around these forums long enough to not let the flaming bother me when someone suggest constructive criticism. Yes, I will own up to making two mistakes. I should have kept the install files. And yes, I should have put this in tech support. This is not the place. But the rest of your post is just not helpful. If BF is every going to grow as a company it does not need comments like this from curmudgeons with a superiority complex. You may of not ever had DL problems. Before the last few weeks, neither have I. And I have been a customer since 1999. B -
Terrible Download Speeds
rudel.dietrich replied to rudel.dietrich's topic in Combat Mission Red Thunder
As an update to my problem. After almost two weeks and almost 60 tries I finally re downloaded all three games. The speeds were terrible and the connection kept dropping but finally with enough persistence I got what I needed. I did in fact drop BF a help desk ticket and they replied very quickly and politely but the advice did not help. Pretty much the standard 'check your own system and connection' I have not used a download manage since the late 90s. I also have a top of the line system and my internet is fiber optic and I would venture to guess it is in the top 1% of speeds worldwi -

I tried again all day today without success. I am going to open a ticket. I understand BF is a small company but this is annoying. I purchase software from other companies the same size, or smaller, than BF and they offer multiple download options. One flight simulation company I download from offers their products over Google Drive which is awesome since they offer nearly unlimited download speed. Another company that sells sports simulations makes their products and updates avaliable through a torrent. That works well too since it greatly cuts down of bandwidth costs. BF may wa -

Yeah I know 1 gbps fiber optic is tough to live with but someone has to use it -

I cannot remember the last time I purchased a PC game on disk. Probably around 5 years. Usually I am very good about putting the install .zips or .exes on an external HDD. Not sure why I didn't with my purchase from Battlefront. That is on me. However, these downloads speeds are horrendous. I was hoping it would clear up but I have tried about a half dozen times for the past 72 hours and I am still getting very low speeds and my file interrupts usually before 20% -
Hello everyone, a handful of you might remember me. I purchased the new CM games back in July and ran them on a temporary computer. In the past 10 days I have relocated to a new residence and am have a new computer set up. I am trying to re-download the three games I purchased over the summer and I am not having any success. My download speeds run from 25-40 kbps which is unacceptable. Worse, the downloads frequently quit after 10-20% completion. It is not my internet, I downloaded something off Steam earlier today and was getting 13.5 Mbps. Are there any alternate ways to d

I was very early. I can't remember if it was PC gamer or the Matrix Games forums that tipped me off, I am thinking PC gamer. I remember getting the demo and playing it over and over and over. I don't even think the full game had been released yet. I remember the demo came with two scenarios. One was fantastic. Two ridges with a valley in the middle and the Germans had bunkers and an AT gun with fantastic LOS. That was a great scenario and if I remember correctly it did not even come on the final disc. Probably late 99 was when I came across the demo. -
Below the platoon level most Syrian units do not carry radios How do we let the player split squads but keep them from abusing the function? I will be the first to admit not being able to split squads is less than realistic But just as unrealistic is letting the player split the squad and then run them all over the place outside of visual or voice range. Once you get past that range the squad leader would no longer be able to issue orders. OOB dictater...I like that I think I have a new title

Do AT3 teams have an RPG?
rudel.dietrich replied to ieatnoobsforbreakfast's topic in Combat Mission Shock Force 1
That sounds right The RPG 18 is a cheap light weight disposable AT weapon with good accuracy and good penetration -

the first "what can we expect in 1.04 patch" thread
rudel.dietrich replied to scottie's topic in Combat Mission Shock Force 1
More fixes Do not expect features until a few more patches The Nvidia 8xxx problem is AFAIK a driver problem that has been passed on to Nvidia and will have to wait for them to release in a future driver update -
Guys Just give us time We arn't all playing Bioshock and Warhawk and not doing anything for the game Ever since the patch was delayed last Friday we have been every day fixing new bugs (some very big) You guys are going to get a better patch than would have been released last week.
