[VOTE: TCP/IP for WEGO]

Yes..........................

[Possible (good) idea for TCPIP MP WeGo approximation]

Thought something along those lines myself, a kind of meet halfway.

Say every 60 seconds of game time the action would pause for 10 seconds then automatically resume allowing both sides just that little bit extra time to reorganize, adapt ect. Real time is great and all but having 10 seconds time out every minute would help the battles be a little bit less about click speed winning the day like a lot of other RTS games, and more about your general strategy and tactics.

Dont know how difficult it would be to code into the game, not too difficult i would imagine?

[Demo won't start]

I found my problem. KG_Jag's turning off some of his software prompted me to consider what might be an issue. So I turned off Process Explorer and voila, CM:BN Demo fired right up.

Process Explorer is a better version of Windows Task Manager, it was independently created and then purchased by Microsoft. http://technet.microsoft.com/en-us/sysinternals/bb896653

Imo Process Explorer is not technically a security or firewall program but it is monitoring the Windows environment.

Laughin, fixed it for me too, tried turning off anti virus ect no luck, process explorer was the fiend, solved

[Demo won't start]

My problem, as described on page 1 of this thread, seems identical to KG_Jag's and Kong's. I even tried installing the demo on my brother's comp, also running Win XP SP3 32 bits, also with all anti-virus and firewall software entirely switched off (confirmed in the task manager), with the same result. The program shows up for half a secon in the task manager, but then crashes. No load screen.

The obvious common denominator in these cases is the OS. Can anyone running XP SP3 32 bit confirm having gotten the demo to run? 'Cause, having pre-ordered, I'm starting to get worried...

I can run the demo no problem, when i exit the demo there are no processes left over from the demo running in task manager and i end up back to desktop with no issues everything seems fine. However, when i try to run the demo again it will show up in task manager for a split second only and wont display the first splash screen where you would choose "buy now" or "play". If i restart my machine then run the demo it works again without a hitch, i just always need to restart the PC first.

[DEMO hangs when ENDing game]

Demo quits ok for me, no CMBN processes left running in task manager after exit, only to restart the demo again i have to restart my pc. Strange.

[AT teams holding fire?]

Thanks Thomm, never used target arcs a great deal i would mainly just "face" units the reqiured direction but i need to spare the AT rounds now so target arcs it must be.

[AT teams holding fire?]

First off just got to commend the Battlefront team on a great game, well done sirs. Played the earlier games in the series and had high hopes for this. From the hour or two spent playing the demo i can see that for me this is going to be the best of the series, and will be picking up a copy as soon as, worth the wait.

My question is when your moving AT teams into range of a tank ect is there a way to get them to hold fire there AT weapons until you decide they are in a good position so that they dont waste rounds firing at trees. I know if you tell them to "hide" they hold fire until in danger but is there a way to get them from A to B without wasting all there AT rounds on the way. A pity that the "target light" command was not a toggle to only use light weapons.
