Yea,finally downloaded upgrade 3 took near 5 hrs. Will contact support now,an all in 1 installer sounds like a good idea about now.
-
Bought the combined 3&4 upgrade on Tuesday no problem. Went to download both and it seemed incredibly slow. Wed morning I found that only the new manual had downloaded.So am re-downloading upgrade 3 now first,then will do upgrade 4. Again the download seems to be going very slowly and upgrade 3 is composed of 25 items all but one of those items are greyed-out with a ? next to them. The sole item in green is the CMBN_setup.exe
My question is what is the proper download and installation procedure?
Also none of the 25 files/items were over 1GB and I used winzip to download them is that the reason for this crawling download speed?
-
Just bought the upgrade 3 and 4 bundle for CMBN hopefully I'll have this up and running in a few hrs!
-
Thanks,made a ticket already but my thinking was my engine 1 ver1.11 was just too old. Will get the 3 and 4 upgrades and see if that fixes it. Thanks for getting back to me!

Bought boxed addition of CMBN March 2011. Was XP or Win7 then I don't recall but it installed and ran fine 2 computers and 8 years ago. Fast forward to today and Win10 with a better computer.
Sys specs: i5-7500CPU 3.40Ghz
Ram: 8GB 64-Bit OS Win10
Have CMBN engine 1 with the v1.11 patch
I go into the install folder click and I get the following msg: UI not found. Please check that you have the proper UI resource files. The application will be terminated.
Does Win10 simply not run this older version?
Do I need to buy upgrade 3 & 4 and apply them and all will be well??
Is it a must run as administrator issue?
-
Great video,thanks for sharing this gem.
-
I can't believe I read through 12 pages of this tripe. And it all started because one fellow isn't enjoying the game,morphed into a Bill Clinton explanation of "fun"........then topped off with URC vs Steve.
Must admit the URC vs Steve aspect is fun to watch.

Did you ever read a thread and just wonder what the hell some people just feel they have to prove? While i am trying to learn the game and enjoy what is in store with full release,there is a group that just plain ain't happy.
Single-player just ain't good enough. Alright,I can understand that I too am looking forward to playing pbem. Then we hear,noway is pbem acceptable! It's too damn slow! Fine and dandy,they totally loose me here but they have the RT option,except that is not what they want as is now either.
So we have weird mind bending conspiracy theory about Battlefront trying to sabotage itself on this game. It simply is perplexing......
-
It is amazing the difference effective use of smoke can make! Thanks for the suggestion,it had quite frankly slipped my mind.
-
I agree that the lack of TCP/IP WEGO is a huge bummer, but we knew this since years so I can't see this to be such a huge shocker.
Yes, PBEM is horrible and RT is way too fast and stressful, but really, the SP is great too!
Seriously, I can't stress the complete and utter crapness of PBEM enough...
What? Did you actually play CM:BO? CM:BB? or CMAK? Played each of them for years pbem and that worked perfectly well. I always like to watch the playback at least 2 times before sending a turn back. That is at least a two min time delay,to then fire off an e-mail adds about an additional min to that so approx every 4-5 min turns are flipped. When there is "nothing" to report or happening the turns go faster.
Stop the "game is fatally flawed" nonsense! It is a fantastic upgrade to the original series. Damn happy I put my $60 down for it. I already want the British expansion pack.

Not at all familiar with CMSF,tried this basic scenario. I had more than 14 KIA,I'll leave it at that. Will be trying this again later tonight,more having problems issuing proper commands and getting units into the positions i want them to be at. But its a heck of alot of fun.

Listen you f--ing crackhead........drop dead!

Asshat,scumbag pig-lover................

Nobody's ever drawn blood from me and nobody ever will!
The cow is patient..........................moo!
-
Beware of my mighty knickers!
The cow will lethargically remove and chew through said knickers,sending you running away like a little girl. The cow will continue to graze triumphant while awaiting the game release. just chewing my cud.
-
How appropriate, you fight like a cow!
On behalf of cows everywhere i resemble that remark.
-
Maybe this afternoon EST in the US? Then again maybe not..........................
For pity sake just come out and say its not getting released this week people! As a marketing plan I'm somewhat tired of the drama.
And all fanboys,I still like battlefront I'm just one of the "annoyed" with the lack of clarity on this. Announce a date,if it has to be pushed back do so,but this it can arrive at any time has now pressed my buttons and i call shenanigans!
Now i feel much better.............guess i can go another week before a rant escapes me again. Though if any asshats go with a biting reply a good forum flame war could pass the time.
-
Or when the frenzied mob armed with pitchforks and flaming torches storm the BFC compound and take what's rightly theirs.
..or Thursday.
I just so happen to have a pitchforks and torches concession stand. And my prices beat walmart......
-
Not a problem,the original poster was an asshat. I in no way was defending him...
-
So can we have an estimated date for the demo release?
As currently estimated it won't be soon enough.
-
Jesus release the damn demo already! Save us from the crazed posters! It's a public service at this point.
-
Yeah, I think it unfair and unseemly to jump on to PCO or PCO testers and certainly to do it on account of this asshat. Bless them, I hope PCO does well too.
I think PCO will do quite well actually,hats off to them on a good job. CM:BN on the other hand simply raises the bar to another level. The infantry model in PCO is again abstracted similar to the original combat mission series,the new CM:BN simply blows it away.
Was the first poster a fan of PCO? I'd tend to doubt it,if he's that critical of the new combat mission graphics he'll feel as bad or worse about PCO.
Are there members of the Matrix boards that bash CM? Most probably,they tend to be fairly free in posting like battlefront. Similarly there are members here who just have to vent their spleen at matrix as well. I like both companies,have many of their games and want them both to do well and produce more games!
Will the guys running matrix be playing CM:BN? Most certainly! They love good games same as the rest of us.

here we go:
"Battlefront.com was kind enough to provide GWJ with a preview build for this article. At the moment they are running a pre-order for the PC and Mac version. Next week I'm told there will be a playable beta demo. You can also download the manual, which is in the style of US Army field manuals. I would also recommend downloading vintage FMs to enhance your play."
Actually reading the paragraph,there might well be a playable demo released next week for us to try out.

Sorry,did you just say the PC version ships tomorrow?
CMBN Upgrade Procedure/pathway

Downloading the Full install from 4 now. So basically I should uninstall my current nonworking v1.11 game from my comp. Once the 4 full install version finishes downloading I just use that and poof! CMBN is now latest version 4!
Do I use the License I got with the 3+$ bundle? Not my original game license right? If it doesn't work I'll know what to switch back.
