The patch adds access to a couple Steam-based features, and Steam is PC only. There's nothing in the v104 patch beyond that.
Steam is NOT PC (windows) only. It is available on MAC and Linux as well.
https://store.steampowered.com/macos
https://store.steampowered.com/linux
And CM titles run at least on the linux platform as well as I already proved it (I suspect also on macos but I doesn't have one to test it).

Patch 1.04 was pushed out on Steam, but there aren't any patch notes either through the steam news, or in the installation folder, or on Matrix's forum, or this forum, or the battlefront.com website. (CMCW ReadMe.txt and whatsnew.pdf).

Yep, it does work (I have built a custom patched proton as was suggested above):
Only works with titles on Steam though, but full versions work nonetheless.

Show their hand Ukraine is from tomorrow a fully-fledged member of NATO. Here is their weakness, all Members must agree to change the status quo. In other words, a country like Turkey or the Netherlands have the right to veto admittance. The country with the most powerful military does have as much cloud as Luxembourg. This may very well be the Game Putin is playing.
This is nothing new, Orban (PM of Hungary) have been playing this since years.
Putin visits Hungary often, and also Orban visited Putin not a long time ago.

I don't see how an invasion would benefit Russia.
Did the occupation of Crimea benefit Russia?

It was the noted "lack of high powered optics, thermal sights and fire control computers" that I was highlighting. Hell the 1972 version didn't even have a laser range finder.
None of the USA MBTs had laser rangefinders in 1972 (only the M60A2 from 1973).
The T-62 got it from 1975 and the "real" M60 series from 1978 with the A3 model.

The Soviet T62s did get pretty mauled due to spotting abilities....just like they did in the Gulf War:
If you really took the year 1991 as a baseline to measure the T-62s performance, then it's no wonder they underperform since they were built for the 1960s.
You measured it to the M1A1 Abrams which were manufactured from 1985. T-62s were manufactured from 1961...

Steam is different. If it goes down, then I cannot access any of my Steam based games.
Steam will work in offline mode and you can still play your games.

Although I have a few Steam games, I hate being Steam "dependent". I have very strong feelings about wanting any of my games to be totally free standing on my own computer and not dependent on an outside agency to be able to play them on an on-going basis.
Then you should only get games on gog, because cm games from BF are not what you described.

Does Ukraine have anything to fire 7.62 NATO?

Thick armor was not designed to save the tank but the crew.
Thick armor was designed so the tank can operate after being hit, nobody cared about the crew.

John, this is something that has been ongoing since 2014....

Sgt.Squarehead,
During the Cold War, the situation looked like there was a still unresolved design competition, with the far more complex and capable Ka-50 having missed the starting shot but nevertheless in the race. Mi-28 was essentially a reconfiguring of the Mi-24 that eliminated the passenger compartment/cargo bay, whereas the Ka-50 was a far more drastic adaptation of the contrarotating rotor setup of the Ka-25 and the later Ka-27.
Regards,
John KettlerIf you think a Mi-28 a reconfigured mi-24, then the ka-50 is a reconfigured ka-26.

A couple of testers with AMD cards were able to solve this issue by rolling back their drivers to 21.8.2 or earlier.
No need, just update to the latest, it has been fixed by AMD.

I'm not really a tech spec wizard but you might want to consider these numbers:
T-64BM weight is 45 tonnes (https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/T-64)
T-90SM weight is 48 tonnes (https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/T-90)
M1 is 61 tonnes (https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/M1_Abrams)
M1A2C Sepv3 is 73.6 tonnes
The M1 series tanks are pretty damn heavy. Yes, I am aware that weight is not protection but for protection all else equal heavier is going to be stronger. Don't forget that all else is not equal but the armour technology advantage is with the M1 not the T series. No matter how good they are, and they are, the armour technology in the T series tanks is not on par with the M1 tanks of the same era.
The Abrams is bigger in dimensions, with the same armor it is going to be a lot heavier.
You only look on one part of the equation to prove your right.

IMO these are unnecessary complicated steps that are not needed.
Just make the tank go slow beside the infantry and they will keep formation as simple as that, no magic needed.
-
Remember that the top armor is the weakest on all MBTs.
Some related simulations:
155mm M107 vs Leopard 1 hull top (30mm)
152.4mm F-534 HE vs RU251 armor (20mm thick)

You have to own it on Steam, not activating it from the game.
