Can you give any more details? What was going on? I've run through the Training Scenario a few times and tried every combination of save game, resume, quit, resume saved game, and it has never crashed. In fact, the beta or demo hasn't crashed on me for many versions. For reference I have a MacBook Pro, early 2015, OS X 10.14 Mojave. No issues with upgrading to Mojave.
I can't remember when it was. I played Alamo again, and it crashed again after about 10 turns, on playback.
MacBook Pro (15-inch, Mid 2009)
NVIDIA GeForce 9600M GT 256 MB

No, CMSF2 has all three trees off / tree trunks in close / trees on. The tree trunk only is just more like no leaves for some of the free models. A three tree settings are there.
Are you talking about the demo? In my version there is only:
All trees on
All trees, no foliage, only skeleton (nearby trees are still full skeleton)
No trees.

It's still in there on my machine, if I understand you correctly.

Eek! See IanL's earlier post.
It's not on my mine. To be clear, the option Near Trees Off showed stumps for the trees nearby, full foliage for the ones further away. This is no longer available in the demo I'm running - is it available for you?
-
There seems to be a problem with high-rise buildings hiding icons - this may also be in CMBS, I haven't checked.
See two pictures below - HQ icon is hidden in first, I pan right a bit and you can see them.

They are an AT team not an FO and they (in RL) can’t just sit there using up the thermals
It seems like there are three radios to a squad, it just seems odd that one isn't with the javelin when it is separated - is this how it would be in real life?
-
I much preferred the close trees trunks only, all the rest with foliage.
-
It seems odd that the antitank team with the javelin does not have a radio, as they are the best spotters (presumably thermal on the javelin).

Crashed on Alamo, running on a Mac. It would have been the original demo (not sure Mac version has been updated?)

The real fun time treat is playing Battlefront Combat Mission games on the LG OLED55B7A -55”
Thunderbolt 3 to HDMI cable to LG 55" & Yamaha audio system is the best gaming experience I have ever had. Only get to play this way when Ms. Buzz is out of the house because the house shakes when the battle is underway 
Wth the 2018 MacBookPro laptop and the HUGE OLED 55" .... no flickering issues with Battlefront Combat Mission games including the CM Shock Force 2 DEMO
Gah! When I ever have enough money saved to buy a new machine, will you be able to give some more details on your setup, sounds amazing!
I always thought that the 'mobile' graphics cards in the MBP led to poor performance. Any chance of a YouTube video of how it looks?

Just got a crash on the german mission, I was enjoying it, but the Weasel spotting is awful!

You cycle through settings for trees. First cycle is no leaves, then no trees.
Mord.
Oh, so we've lost the option for hiding near trees only, the rest of the trees keeping their foliage? I preferred that to the new version. Could we have the old version added to the cycle?
-
I also noticed that in the training mission at least, troopers switch to pistols when they are out of ammo on their main weapon, and then sometimes take a time before reloading. This seems like a change from, say, CMBS, and might be more realistic?
-
In the same photo of the javelin team above, I was wondering why the PIP is assigned to the antitank team?
-
There may be an issue with kill allocation within a squad. I am pretty certain this javelin team did not kill the BTR:

Pretty sure it was killed by an AT4 - see photo for penetration:

Humble with driver icon is showing as a trooper.
-
Just noticed that myself too.
-
Nearby Trees option off is showing the other trees without leaves. Playing on a Mac.

Well, there's at least one exception to every rule
Steve
Make that at least two. I play no other games, been playing since CMBO. Nothing else I have played comes close. I am confident that when you release something it will be high quality. I also appreciate very much the effort you put in to fixing the things that don’t work.
-
Great! Looking forward to the weekend
-
An old one, but split squad icons to turn a different colour when one is selected to more easily see the others.
Also a throw grenades command.
-
i have noticed it on YouTube videos like the one linked above. I think it might also happen to me too - but I’d have to check
-
Not sure if this is an improvement suggestion or a bug? Something I find quite distracting and immersion breaking is the jerking around of men in vehicles (see for example the men in the kubelwagen here). It would be great if this could be fixed.

Just teasing Harry. I'm a birder myself. What the barely heard birdsong is in the background is not something I pay attention to when playing though. I'm also into Astronomy and though having the correct Moon phase and time of Sunrise and Sunset for a certain scenario based on date can be important, I don't pay attention to the Constellations even though they are in fact correct. I think that was a feature Battlefront added from a Third Party program. I'm also in the Dairy Industry, and so far Battlefront has had pretty much the right kind of dead cows.
If not that would be easy to mod. Someone did do a Normandie breed of dead cow for CMBN which was an even better fit for that game.
I'm a bit of a birder too, the CMBN birdsong doesn't fit well at all, unfortunately.
It would be cool to have the soundtrack change depending on where you place the camera.

Nice to see! Was the M1 turret rotation that fast already?

Ok, so it's a new thing then? The old option:
'tree base only close, other trees in full foliage'
...has been dropped?
That was the option I played with normally, it would be good if it could be brought back.
