I want the Ukraine game more than the redux but we shall see when the day comes. And please, no complaints about how much all of this will cost.

Completely crashing on my PC (Windows 7)
PaulMG replied to newplayer's topic in Combat Mission: Shock Force Tech Support
Only problem I have had is overheat shutdown. I had to clean the dust buildup off of the power supply and remove the CPU cooling fan to get the mat of dust and dog hair off of the fins. -
For the love of God, what patches do I need?

PaulMG replied to GJK's topic in Combat Mission Shock Force 1
There are two bundles, CMSF and Marines for $25 usd and Marines/Brits/NATO for $40 usd. Since you have the base game, if it is a BFC version, just get the MBN. I have Windows 8.1. I switched from my user log on to Admin log on. I right clicked the setup.exe and selected Run as Admin. I still get a popup stating the Windows has blocked it. I click more... and it allows me to run it anyway. I only have MS Security Essentials for firewall and AV. -

I have one name and password for the forum and a different set for the main page. I save the emails with the passwords to a folder in my email for when I can't remember them. I forgot about this thread when I installed the bundle. I unlicensed CMSF/Marines, then ran the installer. I finished and asked to the NATO license, then the Brit license, then the Marines license. Seemed to work. -

Exactly why I play CMBO on occasion. Warts and all, it is more fun and less stress. -

I went ahead and got the bundle. It is one installer that does all three modules. Even though I had Marines, it installed over it without a hitch. So far... -
Op LOAM - Helmand Afghanistan
PaulMG replied to Combatintman's topic in Combat Mission Shock Force 1
Because of you and others that continue to provide content and support the game, people like me will buy the game and modules. That helps keep BFC alive and willing to work on the next version. Thanks for your efforts. -
BATTLE DRILL - A CM Tactics Blog
PaulMG replied to Bil Hardenberger's topic in Combat Mission Battle for Normandy
Thanks Bil for taking the time to do these. I had read them all a couple of weeks ago and then you started adding to it. I have to figure out what I haven't read or just read it all over again. Putting things in smaller chunks is better for someone like me. I only have CMSF at this time but the tactics still apply. I just can't play the scenarios that you have created. -

How about just a postit that says "Patience"? -
Which CMSF do I need for a European environment.
PaulMG replied to Zenomorph's topic in Combat Mission Shock Force 1
Better to get the Euroscape mod that has all of that and more http://www.battlefront.com/community/showthread.php?t=108168 -
"Could not initialize OpenGL graphics"
PaulMG replied to naash's topic in Combat Mission: Shock Force Tech Support
I bought an AMD 6670 1g card and a DVI cable. Wow what a difference even at balanced settings. -
What modules needed? I get an error on the link.

What are people playing these days?
PaulMG replied to spcwrnglr's topic in Combat Mission Battle for Normandy
An in game chat window is the cure for that. -

PaulMG replied to GJK's topic in Combat Mission Shock Force 1
I have the CMSF + Marines bundle. I'm thinking of getting Brits and NATO. Is it any easier to install if I buy the Marines + Brits + NATO bundle or should I buy Brits and NATO separately? If I don't care to play the other countries, is it worth getting the other modules for what the Syrians have in them? Or did the Syrian stuff come in updates? Or wait for the mystery pack??? -
I don't think that tactical players wish for operational layer but rather that there are operational game players that wish to see the battles played out at lower levels.

As I posted in the FI forum, it would be nice if designers could use EF maps in the Modern Ukraine game or at least in a module.

It would be nice if EF maps could be used in the Modern game. NATO and WP battles would be on the same ground, just different buildings and roadways in some places.

"Could not initialize OpenGL graphics"
PaulMG replied to naash's topic in Combat Mission: Shock Force Tech Support
Went through hoops to get it to work. Short story: Device Manager Select Display Adapters Right click, select update driver software Select browse my computer and then let me pick from a list of devices I show ATI Radeon 4200 ATI Radeon 4200 (Microsoft Corp WDDM v1.1) Microsoft Basic Display Adapter Since I had the WDDM v1.1, I chose the top one, then the next button. Then continued and it installed something from somewhere that worked. -
It dawned on me today that it has been 10 years since the release of CMAK. Wonder what we will be drooling over 10 years from now. At my age it will be just the normal everyday old fart drool.

Nice thing about BO is the low system reqs. I have a 16:9 monitor and was able to select a res that isn't bad. What did you pick? -

I'll give that a try and let you know. Thanks -
"Could not initialize OpenGL graphics"
PaulMG replied to naash's topic in Combat Mission: Shock Force Tech Support
Nope 32 bit. Thanks though, I'll look for one of those. Or buy a card. This box is marginal for 3D games anyway. I gave the better box to the wife for youtube and such. -
"Could not initialize OpenGL graphics"
PaulMG replied to naash's topic in Combat Mission: Shock Force Tech Support
I recently upgraded from Windows 8 to 8.1. I first unlicensed the game then did the upgrade. Today I licensed the game and when I tried to start it, I got the openGL message and told to update my driver. Unfortunately I have an AMD/ATI HD4200 and there is no new driver. The game worked fine under W8. -
Find a list of hotkeys for W8. Windows key + Q gets you the search screen. Early morning misread. Don't know how to search store.
