  1. Anyway, all is fixed and support accidently helped me find the error myself by suggesting I must have bought a physical copy when I know I never so I went through all purchases 1 by 1 and noted the 2 copies problem. Now its all downloaded and working, I'm going playing Black Sea after all that. Thanks all for another six months. I have 21 post since joining 5 years ago (spammed 8 in today) so I dare any of you to call me a troll . Happy now so will be quiet for a while unless we get 5 more modules and 3 more upgrades.
  2. OK Womble First of all I concede that I should have probably gone straight to the tech forum but on a early Sat morning in the UK, a tech forum does not usually deliver a quick answer hence going to the general forum hoping for a straight answer regarding install order was my target. Maybe due to the fact that most players will probably have gone through this? Secondly, you need to bear in mind that I have waited for all the modules etc to download and went through numerous attempts of install orders to try and get all three modules working as I had done in the past (although it was a bit of a fiddle back then), all in all the total time trying to get a game to work was about 5 hrs. Whilst you presume, I never opened up a ticket (Which I did bye the way), I think your assumption regarding myself doing things in a sub optimal manner is rather condescending and as for not following advice, I had and it turns out I have 2 copies of Commonwealth in my account listing 1. Which is usually the one in the order I look for happens to be a cancelled order thus never has a serial but still allows me to download. 2. The second funny enough is right above it and does have a serial and with 3:00 is now problem solved. I have asked for the bad duplicate to be removed. And before you call me blind, you need to see how many games I have listed in my account as it is a easy mistake to make. Anyway, that was 3 sorted and yes it will be much easier but remember, I had to go through all the stuff before taking a plunge to buy the 3:00 upgrade. After all that it is a Fricking duplicate game listing = lol,
  3. Done but the fact is the same, Stupid system just to play a game. No serial in my account for Commonwealth so how the hell can I activate it. Sorry for the rant but I am outa here and wont be buying again. And can a mod delete this thread because I aint bothered anymore. Back to Matrix games where games are easy to install and update
  4. OK Now I have 3:00 installed and have activated but now I do not see any way to activate the commonwealth forces I bought way back. I have no serial key for this in my account page so cannot activate. Attempt number 10 Uninstall again? Install base game and commonwealth but unpatched Install 3:0 patch? Activate my market garden using the serial? This is my last attempt and then I am outa here and not coming back to buy any more games in the future. The whole experience has left a massive sour taste for this company im afraid. One thing more frustrating than a crap game is a good game that takes eons of investigation etc just to bloody run
  5. You know what, this is just plain pathetic to be honest, Fail fail fail, 1.= I load CB Normandy = does not request a activation and runs straight of the bat 2. = I load Commonwealth and likewise 3. I load 1.11 patch nd still loads no problems 4. I load the 2 upgrade and this is where the mess starts. does not ask me for a number or anything and when I click on icon, just states problem with activation 5. I load and activate market garden = activates ok but when I hit launch = nothing I try all different ways and still seem to run into a problem I now pay for the 3 upgrade to see if this is getting any better and again a loads of fail Seriously BF, I have made many purchases from you over the last couple of years and as it stands now, I am totally put off buying anything else again. I have had less problems installing complex mods than I have had just trying to get this game to work. So folks but I have to get this off my chest, the loading and installation help on this game leaves much to be desired as far as I am concerned. I am not the only one, it appears plenty of users are going through the same. Can someone just post a simple step by step for getting from a Normandy base game up to latest version that does not involve all this fail. This is not a user error, this is just a overly complicated installation process.
  6. Thanks all I guess I may as well just wait for 3 the download then and try it from there with the instructions. So am I correct in that I install 3:00 upgrade first? Are there instruction to read somewhere for all this?
  7. OK After the past hr trying to reinstall all my CM Normandy games, I am so bloody frustrated I feel like ditching it all. I have CM Normandy , I have commonwealth forces I have 2.00 upgrade I have market Garden All these bough eons ago So I try to install them again and keep getting error after error relating to (I believe the 2:00 not being activated). I activate it but when I try to load again same message. I have had this before and eventually found a way to getting everything work after a lot of trial and error in the installation and activation order but to be honest, I am just so damn annoyed at the complexity when trying to do this again. This does not seem user friendly at all. Anyway, I am now awaiting the 3.00 upgrade to download and I just hope this works of the bat otherwise I am just going to have to stop buying these games because of the painful loading experiences. Sorry if I sound harsh but this is a bit of a mess now and is getting on my wick. Has anyone got a specific order these all need to be loaded in to avoid this complete mess Thanks in advance Bye the way, Black Sea loaded great but I want to try 3;00 on Normandy
  8. Just to add some input here. I just tried re-installing my game and modules to get the 3 upgrade and to be honest I found it rather frustrating and had to do clean start from scratch at least 2 times. I think I was probably not installing and activating upgrade 2 at the correct time thus kept saying I had invalid keys etc blah blah. Anyway I only solved this by buying and installing the 3 upgrade. What I can say is this, After the mess of trying to do all that, I am defo not buying the other pack cos I am starting to think it is all too much trouble now. Sorry BF. Good game but becoming just too much DRM hassle. Get it on steam or something and save me the hassles.
  9. Hi its the Akagi carrier at tsingtaoe port. To reproduce crash, just send it south to attack the last china port defended foochow I think. Fire a shot then try and roll back turn and it always crashes for me. Just happened to stumble on it by accident. No major deal I suspect as I am guessing I should not really have option to take back turn after firing?
  10. 1939 scenario, select axis, move Japanese carrier located north to port you usually attack on first go. Press take back turn, crash See below from error log. Seem to be able to reproduce this error. [08/01/2013 9:16:48; 6.1.7601; 1920x1080x32(1); v1.01 AoD] FAILED(draw_resource_text_to_buffer_dc): [08/01/2013 11:54:20; 6.1.7601; 1920x1080x32(1); v1.01 AoD] FAILED(draw_resource_text_to_buffer_dc): Pretty gutted really as I thought this was stable product but no sooner do I decide to buy the expansion and having a little play test, I get this which now put me off playing Any solutions or reasons why I may be getting this?
  11. Spend your money on a plane ticket to UK. Claim your garden plants have threatened to kill you / or imprison you and wham = new house, grant to furnish it, £75 a week or more if you can claim you drink a lot of beer . Say something outrageous e.g. Bin Laden rocks and let them spend 10m trying to get you out of the country. Sell your story to the papers or just leave your phone on a lot but check for phone tapping and then sue the papers or whomever is doing it = bam, wont be long before you could buy Italy itself. Then you can buy FI as well as a flat screen etc once you take a job over here (everyone wants to employ people not from the UK). Hope this helps
  12. I have jumped from recruit to elite and find the game a whole lot more immersive. Takes a bit of adjustment having to deselect all your troops to get a feel for the big picture on the battlefield but once I tried the elite setting everything else just feels like cheating. Not yet encountered tanks on this setting as im just playing a few qb with inf only but I suspect that im in for a few suprises when I start to mix the armys up a bit.
  13. Sry just found the tech thread and see this is a known problem so my install should be ok and its just that if I select deploy on its own, they run away = damn annoying bug thats for sure
  14. Hi all Has anyone else noticed that their heavy machine guns and mortor teams sometimes run back to the deploy area for no reason or just abandon their post? (Getting quite often and I want to shoot them for deserting but I suspect somthing is wrong with game) Is this a known bug or something as I can see no reason whatsoever for them doing so. Currently noticing this with British infantry on quick battles against ai, tiny battle. My Game Version is vanilla with commonwealth patched to 1.11 then v2.00 upgrade. Any help would be appreciated or at least a point in the right direction to getting this resolved. Thanks in advance Is there also anyway of checking a checksum so that I know my install is all correct? Last thing is when patching the 1.11 it ask you to select games to patch so I tick both CMBN and CMBNCW. Now when patching the v2.00 upgrade I only select the secon one which is CMBN and CW as I do not think I need to select the first one which is CMBN on its own or do I need to select both?
  15. The one thing that Panzer Corps has over CMBN is the simplicity of the multiplayer system e.g. drop in lobby accept or create a game challenge and away you go with a turn a day or whatever you need and email notifications. No packaging files etc. Just wish CM set something up similar or as simple in the future. I am new to this game and am still reading about this PBEM etc. Not even done a MP game yet but will do soon. I assume there is a mod that makes MP games easier in CMBN?
