    Battlefront Support

    in Combat Mission Battle for Normandy

    Posted

    Hi,

    I just wanted to post thanks to BF's support staff for taking care of a problem I had.

    I closed the ticket before I had a chance to thank the one who helped.

    I have a laptop with a integrated and a gforce vid card.  The gforce was not primary display device.

    The only prob was the texts in all menus, unit and game.  The game prob wasn't playing all that great either.

    So this a a shoutout for BF and their support staff - Thanks again for great product and support.

    Have a old Hard Copy from Paragon

    in Combat Mission: Shock Force Tech Support

    Posted

    Unless you need to play just the base CMSF game by itself (without any modules), then you do NOT really need the Paradox license key (though I don't know what exact copy-protection system the Paradox version uses).

     

    Assuming you have the license keys for all of the modules (since you say that you do), then the following installation order should get you running:

     

    CMSF reinstall procedure

     

    If your copy of the Marines module is NOT part of a bundle, then you typically do NOT need to install the 1.10 patch (since all of that content should be a part of the full Marines module). Bundles that include the Marines module may NOT have all of the content and would need the 1.10 patch.

     

    If you get a 501 error, you may be using the wrong license key. You will have to look closely at the activation dialog box to see which license key it needs. If you get an error 11 (or -11 ?), then you may have run out of activations for that license key (each one comes with two). eLicense has an unlicensing procedure that you want to use before making significant changes to a computer (upgrading, etc.) OR when you are no longer going to use that game/module on that computer. Unlicensing preserves an activation so that you can use it again on another install of the game/module. If you are unable to unlicense a previous activation, then you will need to open a ticket at the Helpdesk (click on the blue '+new ticket' in the upper right corner) and provide the license keys that need to be 'reset' to allow for another activation.

    I have a fully upgraded installed CMSF again - Thanks to you're link which I followed and had no problems.

    Have AT Guns become deadlier

    in Combat Mission Red Thunder

    Posted

    This was a observation - I used the one instance to pose the question.  I am playing from the same save and doing different things to try out different tactics.

     

    The question was in general - has anyone noticed the AT accuracy being deadlier than before this last patch.  In that same situation tho I have 4 Tigers and they have been shot at and missed - restart the save and open fire with 4 HMG's in forest 1-2 squares back from 550-350m spaced out and they open fire and get hit first time fired upon.  Infantry close to the other units in question have had the same result from being fired on from the AT guns after moving.  CMFI in a GL sce I had same results from German AT guns.  Going to do a CMBN to see if the same thing happens.

     

    Now before patch I have used AT guns and fought against AT guns with bad results against any infantry units.  HMG's (not really using it for taking out the AT's) are effective at suppression to bring up small mortar or a spotter.

    Have AT Guns become deadlier

    in Combat Mission Red Thunder

    Posted

    The Russian AT guns in Gog & Magog are kicking my heavy weapons platoon(s) butt.  I have like tried to get 3 or more HMG's (~600m) and a gun (76mm Zis-3) was taking them out as soon as they opened fire.  I then stop firing hide and the guns lose the MG's.  Then go to using the arty and that seems to have lost its flavor since the patch as well.

     

    I am going to play over some old CMBN's see if I have similar results.

     

    Just my observations - not a complaint.

    SOP for CMx2

    in Combat Mission Battle for Normandy

    Posted

    I am showing my age but why cant BF do the same thing they already did for TacOps to CMx2.

     

    TacOps not very graphic intensive but a number cruncher - was able to stream a list of orders of movement, SOP changes, & combat.

     

    Why cant this be brought into the CMx2 core game?  If not the list of orders, but the SOP for all units?

    Past player of Combat Mission needs some input please.

    My two cents:

    Unfortunate about your lack of interest in CMAK, North Africa is my favorite theatre along with the Ostfront (especially 41- late 43). I love the North African battles (41-43). Hear that BFC!! hint hint :) Luckily I still love CMx1 (CMBB and CMAK) they are still spinning on my HD's for my other theatre fixes. hundreds of user made scenarios / operations that I have not even checked out yet, let alone RobO's great ROQC (a quick campaign generator layer for CMx1 CMAK and CMBB) available at CMMODS... so I will be ok until hopefully my fav theatres are covered by CMx2.

    Thank goodness CMFI came out, I can only handle a few battles at a time in the bocage country, claustrophobia. I like my German optics to be used as they were meant to be used. :)

    1) Don't know I only use WEGO, real time does not interest me at all.

    2) As was mentioned, campaigns are linked scenarios with the direction of the campaign branching pending on outcomes in your battle.

    3) What ME mentioned in his post.

    4) Fun and challenging yes the AI is as I have not mingled with the H2H part of it.

    5) You may win the battles, no to altering the way WWII is decided however.

    From what I have read on these forums, it sounds like making scenarios, let alone campaigns and the maps take a whole lot of effort and patients for the designer. So it may take awhile until the

    scenario / campaign downloads are as abundant as they are for CMx1.

    Enjoy.

    Africa would be a nice expac for CMFI

    Keeping FO's alive

    in Combat Mission Fortress Italy

    Posted

    Yes, hiding as the FO can cause you to have problems spotting. But after you call the arty in. go ahead and hide until the spotting rounds start to fall. Then unhide and get a good spot so that your arty is on target.

    I have done this but playing non-english speaking I'm not quite sure all the time when the spotting rounds are flying till after.

    Have a old Hard Copy from Paragon

    in Combat Mission: Shock Force Tech Support

    Posted · Edited by Daroc

    I have the old paradox copy (all inc patches from v1.02),  I have purchased all of the modules after the original from battlefront.  I'm not sure if I can locate the key for the DVD anymore.

     

    Is there anyway of not having to buy one all over - btw this is only because chris mentioned that CMSF might get upgraded to CMBS version.

     

    I have all the other keys (Brits, Marines, NATO) may I please get a good key to make this work I did pay for it once already
