  1. The matrix site only llist the windows version. Can i buy from matrix and use the mac version like on the battlefront site. (I have a matrix anniversary coupon - significant savings) Also if not - does it run on parallels
  2. It affects any hiding place including walls and buildings - i have experienced both. and i did not see their post - so i missed that. Will wait for upgrade, but apparantly I’m not the only one who put ww2 on shelf for a while - it doesn’t show in sf2 for some reason. Although i will give pause a look
  3. Somebody came up with a work around that might work - give Pause orders when behind this barrier. Some say it works to a point - others no. Any ideas.
  4. I posted this about 6 threads down - “Bug with upgrade” (It also happens behind walls and in buildings I goin a message from a couple of guys who quit playing ww2 scenarios and a couple of hard cores saying - live with it. (These are the same guys who bitch if you knock any thing about the game) Apparantly it’s been posted and reported numerous times with no reply from BF management - happens every time from them - if they can’t make money - so be it. (If I had new modules coming out - I’d fix the current problems before release so people buy it - just my thoughts) As is - WW2 is unplayable BN especially. I’ll try the pause option though. Really wanted to buy all the modules for ww2 - I have BN and SF and SF 2 but can’t as is.
  5. Erwin so what’s the work around for this. It remember in 4.0 you had the mass panic when getting shot at or mortared
  6. From the lack of stuff on this board - a lot of people did
  7. Okay. Came back to normandy after a couple of years off. playing campaign. My troops are nice and safe at the top of a reverse slope. Letting them sit there and gain fire superiority while I circle other troops around flank. All of a sudden - no orders given - when the enemy fires in their direction they charge the enemy machine gun. They stop about 10 yards away but most are cut down. Wanted to see if it's the campaign so I played a smaller scenario. About 10 minutes in, my troops are safety behind concrete wall while I lay down machine gun fire from another spot and circle the back of the house. Again for no reason I hear "let's go men" and the get up and charge the enemy machine guns - two full squads cut down. While I remember the panic problem with troops in 4.0 I never remembered this. Am I crazy or what? John

  9. With the MAJOR problem of soldiers making suicide charges in version 4.02 (patch) can you roll back to 4.01 or 4.0 - I realize that still had the bug of soldiers running away, but at least they're still alive. Tried reinstall but it says 4.02
  10. Again it's a shame because I had my credit card out to but all the admins. - lost money by company and I would assume it's happened with others.
  11. I had the issue in a campaign. Killed the campaign because of carry over toe I lost too many soldiers in the first battle
  12. I’ve come back after a year away. Playing road to Montebourg campaign - in first battle. three question 1) is is my imagination or do the ghost (was there isn’t anymore) icons stay on longer with new path. 2) have a number of troops in the middle island. Branched them out with hunt. They take fire but never fire back. 3) my first run through with this battle barbwire appeared across road. This run through it isn’t’t there. Is that a glitch Playing V2 of campaign Thanks John
  13. Just came back to game and upgraded to 4.02. Had three older mods installed in older version (JUJU UI - spelling?, The patton splash screen, and cats floating icons) MY splash screen came out with french or some language written over english - removed patton screen - same thing Removed z drive and it went away. My question are there a lot of cmbn mods that cause this or other problems and, except for adding one on one - how do I know.) John

  15. figured it out. Deleted my z file - had two mods in it. Gonna try one by one to see.
  16. Using the mac version. Just came back to game. Downloaded cmon base game - no problem. Downloaded .02 upgrade and multiple scenarios. Booted and game and splash screen came up with words jumbled. Looks like english with over written french or something. They still work - check language and it's english in options. Any ideas. It kills my eyes.

  19. I just noticed the specs for mac say 2.8 and 8megs. I have and continue to play this game on a 2.5 4mg 1mg - video card late 2013 mac book. I use improved 3D modeling and have never had a problem except slow load on huge maps. I’ve play sf2 and sf1 with all modules and am thinking about getting market garden. My question is - I don’t remember the specs being this high - was it raised and is there a reason. And do you think there’ll be any problems buying the dlc’s and playing them. By the way the game plays even better on catalina OS Thanks John

  21. I am returning after about a year layoff (was bust with war in the west and war in the pacific) Couple of questions. 1) where can I get the manual for sf2 again? 2) on the ui - there are three small buttons on the top - one is a clock for pause - is that that for real time or a unit. There are two others. What are they for? 3) in the commands there use to be a “delay” button where you can set a time for the unit to delay before moving - I don’t see it anymore. 4) what is the hot key for movie mode - I didn’t see it in the list. May be blind though 5) on acquiring ammunition - how is this done and how do I know what ammo to acquire 6) In buildings there was a method of keeping the troops inside and not going out on the balcony. It had something to do with selecting target arc and pressing control or shift and forming a circle. Anyone remember how. I just lost all three of my snipers in first three minutes because of this. 7) in the new version - is there a way to measure distance from two unoccupied spots on the map? Glad to be back. The other two games (witw and witp AE are great but exhausting. Thanks a head of time. John
