After installing 4.03 several times and it not showing the newer version after install, I decided to try to finish the install with "Create Desktop Icons" selected. The new desktop icon starts the game in 4.03, cool! No, Nothing shows up in the game at all, scenarios, campaigns you name it.
The best feature is I can use my CMBN icon in the game folder and the icon already on my desktop and it starts the game in 4.02. All scenarios, campaigns are there... incredible!
Any ideas how to fix this?

Probably gonna uninstall this one lol or stay away from this one for a while.
Played another mission, "De Hinderlaag" and apparently uniformed soldiers that are conscript/green experience and eventually "broken" morale can fight against multiple IFVs and infantry squads, killing some and wounding lots of my guys while they never surrender or lose a guy or two and still fight on. Keep in mind, I've killed their entire upper command, they have no Battalion or Company command and some Platoon HQs are completely wiped.
I failed the mission due to time, I suffered only several casualties and successfully captured the town objective which but it was almost impossible due to the enemy behavior.
I'd expect this kind of fanatical behavior from the Normandy title fighting the SS during the MG Campaign, and I have no problem with it.
On the other hand, my "crack" infantry units get a whiff of the enemy, and high tail it out of there and don't look back. LOL
Yes, I looked at the end of mission view at all the units. Almost all of the enemy units that I smacked real good with IFVs and Infantry units, even the Apache on some.. all are basically still full strength in size. They have like two or three wounded at most, their commanders are dead on almost every team and all are conscript or green experience and broken morale.
Oh, one more thing.. I didn't think extreme heat and very dry ground would cause vehicles stuck in mud conditions but I guess that is just my luck ;).

No because I quit out after I finished seeing the outcome of that engagement.
I have a picture of it though.
Feel free to try it yourself, its the team that's inside the far south west building next to the wall at the entrance.
-
Update, so basically a minute later and with the help of a 40mm stryker. The 5 minutes of literal contact with this guy finally ceases by him being killed.
I play Elite difficulty, but this isn't elite. This is just dumb.

I own all CMx1 and x2 titles, but what the actual hell is this game?
Two US rifle squads from a stock mission (called House Cleaning, or whatever that US MOUT team clearing the hospital mission is called).. cannot kill a single dude. The best part is, this single dude with an AK has suppressed both squads, killed team members of those squads and refuses to be suppressed or even killed by multiple M4s, multiple 40mm grenades and whatever else these dudes throw at him. This is unacceptable... seriously. I don't know what they're feeding this dude, or what type of morale he's got especially since i'm pretty sure the rest of his squad is surrendered but this guy's got some massive balls.
It just blows my mind that literally ONE guy, with a RIFLE, can do this. I'm no retard or anything, but I think I have the fire superiority here. I never complain, because I know if I lose or get guys killed.. it is my fault but like this is garbage. This has been going on for several minutes because I am actually impressed and want to see the outcome.
-
Once in a while, one or two of my soldiers and even rarely half a squad will get stuck behind bocage or something stupid and they'll stay there till they're dead or the scenario is over. Sometimes i'll do a move order and one or two will stay behind so I just cancel the movement and replace it and then they move and regroup together. Weird, but, that's CM for you. I love everything about the game even its frustrating that occur sometimes.
-
In my own opinion I find that everything penetration related (
) to be completely accurate. I've played CMx2 since late 2014 and I haven't had any moments where I go "That's complete bull****" except to my own tactical errors lmao.
-
I must be awful if I can't get past the first mission lmao.
Beautiful map designs and such, my second try at a campaign. First was stock CM MG 82nd AB campaign which after the first mission, GG to me.
I hope I can overcome the first mission and play through the campaign.
-
Well I just quickly tested with x's and it only used one sound file, which was mg42.wav but that is just a single shot .wav. Interesting lol.
-
I see how you put yours in the email, when I get home from work I'll attempt to mess with it with the x2, x3 or if it just needs 0 1 2 3. I see the MG42 is afaik the only one that has the x in its order. I don't know if that's because the sound file has a small burst for its .wav as the other gun .wavs are a single shot .wav.
-
Oh I get you now, i'm not too sure about .bmps. I was just going with my amateur CM2 modding knowledge. The series should start with mp40 0.wav and then follow mp40 1.wav and so on. Following this, your various sound differences should follow either in order or in a randomized fashion. Like I said, amateur CM2 knowledge. I believe this should be the correct order because my M1 Garand sound files are m1 garand 0, 1 2 3 etc and it sounds slightly different in game, although unknown if followed in order or randomly selects it for the gun shot.
Hopefully I understood it this time, if not I apologize.
-
For the mg42, it's mg42 x2, mg42 x3, mg42 x4 and so forth for how many sounds you want to use for that burst of MG fire.
-
I believe it's randomized, not in order.
So if you have three files with mp40.wav, mp40 1.wav mp40 2.wav for example, say your dude with the mp40 starts firing, it'll pick one of those three files for the small burst of gunfire.
-
Yes it should be for example mp40 1 mp40 2 mp40 3 and so on.
If you wouldn't mind Erwin could I get a copy of your MG42 sounds? I like to have variety and mix my sounds from various mods.
-
Thanks, appreciate it.
-
Mord, I saw your explosion test video today.. what MG42 sound do you use in your videos? Could I get a copy if possible.

These two links are also great resources; http://battledrill.blogspot.com/2013/08/combat-mission-tactical-problems-cmtp.html & http://www.raafsquad.com/cliffs/battlefront/

Green one is pause, middle circle is cancel orders, far right is cancel and run to wherever the AI decides to go (you can drag the movement line to where you want them to go).

I've taken the M1 Garand, MP40 and StG44 sounds from MOH for my games, I've loved them since MOH: Frontline and I always feel nostalgic when I hear it.
Here are the MP40, StG44 from Allied Asssault, also included is an MG42 sound that I've had for a long time from someone here but have yet to ever find it so.

SPOILER DIE PATROUILLE
I tried this tactic in mission "die Patrouille", but didn't work : Using the mortar fire and the Panzerschreck ammo to damage the first building, make a hole in the wall and assault it through.
Unfortunately, most of the mortar projectiles went off target (even if it was a preplanned mission) and when I fired all the Panzerschreck ammo against the wall (five shots) it was still standing
Anybody with another original plan or idea to win this one without big loses ?
When I was in front of the house wall, some soldiers jumped over the small wall and exposed themselves. Very frightening...
regards
The way I handled that area was, had a split team with an MG42 in one of the American foxholes, to act as a base of fire then I had a squad that was split into two, breach and clear the building from both sides.. I took one casualty on the initial breach but it was swift and successful.

Wow this thread is still going on? Incredible.
@slysniper Just now saw your initial post. Thank you for your virtual service! I'm glad your first play through of the "hardest mission" after a hiatus of it went swell. It is exciting to know that your TacAI dealt with the situation completely differently than mine because you know.. not every mission plays exactly the same!
This game has bugs, issues, etc. that are still being found and also pre-existing that still aren't fixed yet, I have played since CMx1 titles so nothing is new to me, I in fact learn from my mistakes or go "Aw shucks, I shouldn't have done that!". What I experienced is most likely a one off TacAI experience that was way out of line of believable and broke my immersion and realism/military simulation feeling of the game or it might in fact be a bug. Either way, it is a video game and we all play for different reasons and enjoy different aspects of the game and I apologize my post tooted your horn wrongly.
Also I am just curious, did you cease fire or did they surrender but as far as I am aware.. if the enemy surrenders it would say they surrendered. Are you sure you did not cease fire early just because you got to where I was and wanted to act better or something? I'd also like to add, it appears you crossed into the open to get to that building without what appears insufficient concealment via smoke and or a base of fire resulting in your casualties.. just a friendly observation!
With your arm chair advice given to me from your post, I will re-evaluate this mission and immediately begin firing on all suspected enemy locations with recon by fire from mission start.
