I bet the majority of the whining you hear comes from he younger players. It should be dismissed and ignored promptly.

looks great. I skipped the first game. because i tried the cmx1 demo, after reading a review about how it was like one of my favorite ww2 games close combat but in 3D. But after i tried it, I went back to the 2D. cmx1 wasn't pretty to look at and too abstract. now fast forward to 2011, CMx2 looks amazing(leaps and bounds ahead of any other hardcore ww2 sim imo. Now i can say its like CC series but in 3D. I surmise CC and CM share a common ancestor. I'm glad the designer realized their market did upgrade their computers from the 486D.

got it working. recovery disk'd it.everything back to day 1. updated drivers... works. will never know what it was. sometimes it bees that way lol

fyi run as admin did not work. it got the user control pop up, but still crashed after.

You are correct. the software packaged is tuned to overclocking and tweaking. I thought maybe it was fighting for access to the video card or something, because of the crashing. I tried everything, so was reaching. I did try removing the host file(FYI) but the only thing that did was bring back ads on youtube I shut down everything one by one in task manager and tried to launch until i shut down my pc. I did find out one thing that may be of help or not. the user account control pop up in wind 7, that asks do you want to allow the following program from an unknown publisher to make changes to this computer? doesn't pop up when i launch CMBN. it does for every other game that i try to run. the demo goes straight into the 1st splash screen and when i tick play now the game crashes. just find it interesting that the demo launches at all without the user account control popup. That's all i got. I still can play it on my other comp so its not too big of a deal. i would just like to know if anyone else with a higher end asus gaming laptop can play the demo.

i don't have process explorer. now that you say "probe". got me thinking. Would a host file cause problems with how your demo works?

Demo still won't start. i went in to task manager and disabled almost everything and it still doesn't launch. I installed CMA demo and that doesn't launch either. So I'm guessing its issues with my laptop. My Asus laptop comes package with a lot of software for "tweaking" So its conflicting with something. Did anyone else with a Asus gaming laptop get the demo to launch? luckily i have a ht/gaming desktop with win 7 64 and it runs fine. I just won't be mobile with this game. aka i cant play at work
