    You can try the BF Helpdesk, found this :

    Invisible soldiers (CMBN/Mac) and other strange issues or inconsistencies

    It appears that many odd problems with the game (invisible soldiers, and other oddities and inconsistencies) stem from OS X permissions - if for some reason the game couldn't access some of the data files, you could end up with odd results like these. Please make sure the permissions inside the application are at least consistent:

    Right-click on the CMBN application. Select "Show Package Contents".

    In the window that pops up, right click on the Contents folder and select "Get Info".

    In the Info window, click the lock in the lower right hand corner. Enter your password at the prompt. This should "open" the lock. (The permissions for Contents should look fairly normal.)

    Click the gear button at the bottom of the Info window and select "Apply to enclosed items".

    "Close" the lock. Close the Info window.

    Try to run CMBN.

    I´m not sure it would solve your problem still.

    Road to Montebourg Question

    in Combat Mission Battle for Normandy

    These "exit troops before the end" missions are the most difficult for me and

    it took me a long time to find out to cease fire when the last man had gone

    of the map.

    If you play the Road to Nijmegen campaign there are a mission of the

    same kind, think its called "Papenberg" something to look forward to :D

    if you ever play that campaign, then you have to exit a whole

    company of paratroopers !

    Game asking for activation key.

    in Combat Mission Shock Force 1

    Posted

    This is the way to install and patch :

    If you have a CMSF module, then you do not need your base game license key (ever again). That's because when you activate a module with a module license key, the base game is activated automatically as well. There is no need to license the base game separately if you intend to install a module with it. For Windows Vista and Windows 7 users we recommend running the installers by right-clicking and selecting "Run as administrator" from the popup menu. The default directory for Battlefront versions is usually '\Program Files\Battlefront\Combat Mission Shock Force' for 32-bit versions of Windows and '\Program Files (x86)\Battlefront\Combat Mission Shock Force' for 64-bit versions of Windows. Please double-check where you install the game and ensure that modules and patches install to the appropriate directory. A new folder/directory in the game's actual directory would be an incorrect location to install a patch to. Most patches will replace the main game executable and you should get confirmation that the patch installed properly by looking for this version number at the bottom, middle of the main menu screen.

    Here is the correct way to reinstall CMSF and its modules (as of patch v. 1.32):

    •Install CMSF, do NOT license it if it is a Battlefront version.

    •Install the v. 1.10 patch for your distribution (Battlefront or Paradox). This step is sometimes not needed if you have the Marines module, but bundles that include the Marines module may not have all of the necessary files that are part of the v. 1.10 patch.

    •If you have the Marines module, install it now.

    •If you have the Marines module, launch CMSF and use the Marines license key to activate (this activates both CMSF and the Marines module).

    •If you have the British Forces module, install it now.

    •If you have the British Forces module, launch CMSF and use the British Forces license key to activate it now.

    •Install the v. 1.21 patch. Make sure to make the correct selections for the modules you have. Making an incorrect selection will result in modules disappearing or license key requests for modules you do not have. If you run into this problem reinstall the v. 1.21 patch again and make the correct selections. You must install the v. 1.21 patch BEFORE installing the NATO module.

    •If you have the NATO module, install it now.

    •If you have the NATO module, launch CMSF and use the NATO license key to activate it now.

    •Install the v. 1.31 patch. Make sure to make the correct selections for the modules you have. Making an incorrect selection will result in modules disappearing or license key requests for modules you do not have. If you run into this problem reinstall the v. 1.31 patch again and make the correct selections.

    •Install the v. 1.32 patch. Make sure to make the correct selections for the modules you have. Making an incorrect selection will result in modules disappearing or license key requests for modules you do not have. If you run into this problem reinstall the v. 1.32 patch again and make the correct selections.
