Hello, I tried to add this game to steam as a none steam game but it crashes when I try to launch it within steam. Has anyone else got this issue? It is annoying because I use steam to talk to my friends and arrange games. Thanks, Kenjara EDIT: I got the game working in steam using run as adminstrator there is no steam overlay in game though.

most likely your connecting to the internet through a router and some ports need opening. Not sure what ports this game uses but they are probably in the documentation somewhere.

What no shortcut key to hide the hud? :eek:

I would like to see an israel module just for the Merkava.

Ah thanks, I'll do that. I used to use fraps all the time but stopped using it when x fire supported both screen capture and video recording. One thing I forgot to ask, how do you remove the hud?

Glad it works for you Lethaface! But is a very interesting problem with regard to the other cards. So me and Lethaface both have the 4870, although Lethaface has the x2 version grr. So it could be this fix only works on the 4870 but this is unlikely I would think its an xp/vista issue. Ok heres a thought though, I brought my 4870 in december and it seems the 4770 is newer as reviews for it are dated around april 2009. So you could be right about it being newer and causing a problem, even though it has a lower series number. Seems there is roughly a years difference between the cards coming out.

Hi whats the best way of taking screenshots in this game? Are you using third party image capturers because print screen will not work for me. I was hoping this game was supported by x fire as its my preferred method of taking screenshots but it seems that not enough people on their forum have requested it to be added.

Im using a 4800 series so its weird that it would be too new. But yes the mention of the system 32 directory does make me think the problem may be with the dll in there being modified. Might be worth checking the log viewer in windows to see if anything appears there when you try to run the game.

I think the air support call is done by an American. It sounded like it anyway when I called for a bomber. Im sure the response from the pilot was English though.

Hmm not sure whats going on there then. All I can think of suggesting is make sure you havent moved the original one. Maybe try an earlier dll if they are still there. You could be right its something your card doesnt like. Would be strange if its to do with you using xp because if anything I would of though vista would be more fussy about that kind of thing. That reminds me you didnt download either 64bit xp drivers or anything by accident did you because I nearly downloaded 32bit drivers when looking for the 9.3 drivers. That was before I noticed they had a whole list of old drivers on ATI's site.

Im using a 4870 1GB so it shouldnt be your card is too new. upload some screenshots of exactly where you have the files. By system32 are you on about the drivers folder as I did nothing there just with the shock force folder. Dont give up, it should work. I was planning this solution at work today lol. make sure you didnt actually install 9.3 and the files are in the right place. Also by the game refusing to run what happens exactly. It certainly works at least for my system as I have now played though the entire second mission without a crash! :cool:

Yep looks like its solved. This is what you do. Download 9.3 from Atis old drivers page. Let them extract to C:\ATI or wherever and cancel afterwards. go to C:\ATI\SUPPORT\9_3_vista64_win7_64_dd_ccc_wdm_enu\Driver\Packages\Drivers\Display\LH6A_INF\B_76557 (of course will be different for xp and 32bit.) open cmd and navigate to the folder. e.g. cd C:\ATI\SUPPORT\9_3_vista64_win7_64_dd_ccc_wdm_enu\Driver\Packages\Drivers\Display\LH6A_INF\B_76557 then enter Expand atioglxx.dl_ atioglxx.dll into cmd and press enter. This will expand atioglxx.dll in the current folder. copy atioglxx.dll and paste in cmsf's main folder. I did also put it in modules just in case as I saw a dll in there. Hope this works for everyone I am way into mission 2 with no probs now. P.S. Love the fact my game files are in german lol

Good news, I think I solved it. Obviously the issue still needs to be fixed properly but I have managed to stop my game crashing and played through the whole first mission! I had a thought that if I put the old dll in the games folder it might use that instead. So I put the 9.3 drivers opengl dll in the games folder and it works!

oh yeah my mistake, its been a long day. Just worked out why I was confused. You come from the forum right? Where as the other reply come from the support. Programming for 8 hours melts your mind lol.

Well its our lucky day, about an hour after the generic response I got an email from an ATI agent saying they will look into the issue.
