  1. It was installing by default to programs files(86)\battlefront/Korea I just tried making a folder called C:\TOW3 and installing it there... still doesn't work. I uninstalled my virus software(Microsoft security essentials) after the third Korea install attempt failed. There was no virus software installed when I last tried to install Korea. The demo was acting strange too when I reinstalled it yesterday. Kept saying licence file error and trying to get me to activate manually. Which I tried but that didn't work either. If Microsoft Security Essentials had thought Korea licence file was a virus and locked it up it would have notified me. I had no warnings of any kind in the couple of days MSE was installed. I am really bored of trying to make this work and just want my money back. Maybe Battlefront could give me a copy of Combat Mission Normandy instead? I just played the demo today and the graphics are not good but the game plays quite well.
  2. Hahahaha "run as admin!" That's what they all say... Of course I run everything as admin! I am having trouble too.I can not run the full game. I reinstalled the demo to see what happens and I am getting the same code errors as rusty. I wonder if the same problem that is preventing me from running the full game is causing the demo to give this error. " A problem was detected with your licence file. Would you like to recover now?" The next window offers a code that I am supposed to give to the vendor. The next window asks for the code the vendor has given back to me. I have bought the game so I put my activation code in and it says the activation code is in wrong format. shutting down. But remember this is just the demo giving this error. The full game gives nothing at all.
  3. I'll start another thread as this is separate issue than the demo... I just turned off win7 UAC, rebooted, added installer to exceptions in antivirus but then turned antivirus off anyway, ran installer with admin rights. It installed and then I tried to run Korea.exe Nothing.. It is in processes using 25%cpu and 40000kb memory. but nothing happens.I waited 5mins. I tried running updater, options, builder, editor... all the apps in the korea folder but none of them work. Every other game I have installed didn't need me to turn off my security. The problem is no my security or UAC or admin rights. Please help

  5. Thanks for the reply. when I deleted the demo folder I got an error about unkown fonts or something like that. After a restart I tried again and it did delete fine. I download the game off peak. after 2am I have more gb. But I can't get it to work. Turned off virus protection, ran installer as admin, ran Korea.exe as admin and nothing happens. I can see it in processes but I waited 10mins and nothing. Tried hotfix and same result. The helpdesk assures me the problem is not with korea but with my pc security and virus protection. All the other games on my pc are downloaded and activated and none of them needed my pc to close it's eyes bend over and spread it's cheeks... Why is korea so special it can't install with security enabled? I have a fresh install of windows 7 64bit. Any suggestions would be appreciated. I'm not angry but I probably would rather just have my money back. I have all the other TOW games. I enjoyed them all and recommend them all but they all worked ...
  6. Thanks. I only had 2gig left in this months download quota. So I will have to wait till next month to download the full game...again. I feel like a chump for buying this full price from battlefront. Steam has it 10bucks cheaper and I wouldn't have had to down load it twice either... I just noticed I cannot delete the demo folder with or without admin rights. I cannot take ownership of it either. I uninstalled the demo but there is still a folder with 1C knows what in it. Irritating!
  7. I assumed I could buy a license and activate the full game with the demo. So the 60mins is up and I have bought a licence and the demo just gives me a link to battlefront store... Surely I don't have to download the whole game again? How do I activate the full game? I have a licence and the demo.
  8. gee maybe this could be realistic way of finally finding multiplayer games. but is it possible to play nonsteam.v1.131 versus steam.v1.133 I have non steam version but I will join the steam group anyway ...
  9. the brumbar has only range of about 400m although the popup info says it sould have range of 4000m.
  10. For guys who have 64bit Operating Systems You might want to check out this little program. It modifies an exe file to allow 32 bit apps to access 4GB of virtual memory on 64bit systems. I used this patch at same time as I patched to 1.31Kursk. Performance improved but I not sure if it was from the 1.31Kursk patch or this 4GB virtual memory patch. Did everyone notice improved performance with 1.31 patch? here's the link anyway http://www.ntcore.com/4gb_patch.php
  11. Rdent just edit the first mission of main campaign with full editor and include a couple of new units in the reserves. then you can play through the rest of the campaign with these units as well. of course it is not historical tho.
  12. the game aims to use realistic, historical ballistics and physics. The hummel and wespe were indirect fire at much larger ranges than the maps we have for TOW Kursk. The projectiles are moving too fast to arc down over short distance. you can use em to fire blind through trees with another units spotting for them but not over big hill. you need a mortar for that.
  13. I just opened the first mission in german campaign with the mission editor and added two units of each new tanks types in the reserves and added crew. then when you start the first mission you can play through rest of campaign with those new units as part of your reserves. i did same thing for russian campaign. The campaigns seem to be running better than before patch? much less stutter i think.
  14. I made five "new campaign" missions with in game mission gen. Then i used the mission/campaign editor in the game folder to link the missions and delete all the player units except the first mission so you have to make initial group last all 5 missions. i played it through 3 times and added units to AI armies make it more balanced and interesting. I didn't touch the scripting as this seems to slow frame rate too much. It plays much better fps than the campaigns the game came with but it is very simple with no sub missions. took me a day to make it and play it through a few times to edit... anyone else made any campaigns like this? was fun to make...
  15. I used the in game generator and the editor to make a small 5 mission dynamic campaign. it runs with smooth frame rate like the in game generator games but losses and experience are tracked. anyone want to try it? http://www.filefront.com/15906377/CAMPAIGN1.7z/ unzip "campaign1" folder into mission folder
  16. I have been trying to make a campaign using the in game mission generator. I set up a soviet tank battalion attack labeled it 1, saved then changed the map labeled it 2...ect So then I open the "editor" located in the kursk folder. I used the campaign editor to set mission 2 as result of mission 1 success. This worked when i played and after I completed mission 1, pressing continue brought me to mission 2 force selection screen. great. I would like the have the same continuity as the german campaign, where the units you start with are all you get till you finish the campaign. If i lose a tank then it is gone for rest of campaign. does anyone know how to set this up with editor?
  17. Have you guys noticed that the mission generator made missions have no frame rate problem? I can play a mission made in the mission generator on 19040x1080(highest res available with my system) with all the lighting and shadows on consistently over 20 frames a second. weird... you can use the generator to make campaigns too i think.
  18. wow you got a fast pc and that wont run it! i was getting 10-15 frames a second so i doubled my ram to 8gig ddr3, turned off occlusion lighting, turn grass down to low, rez down to 1280 by 800. everything else on high and i also happened to uninstall norton. now is running 20 to 30 fps. even up to 40 which is not fast but is fine and playable. maybe uninstalling norton is a coincidence but after i rebooted with those setting i play campaign and barely any slowdown even with arty and air strikes. i was just up to 3rd axis mission where end of mission german and russian reinforcements both controlled by AI turn up and it started to chug. maybe it is AI... great game if you can get it to run smoothly. windows 7 64bit amd 3.1 dualcore 8gig drr3 nvidia gts250
  19. less than 10fps. changing settings make 1 or 2 fps difference. really want to like this game... but i give up till problem is patched. windows 7 AMD duel core 3.2 8gig ddr3 ram nvidia gtx 250
