    Rome to Victory Pre-orders are now open

    in Combat Mission Fortress Italy

    Posted · Edited by infierno

    Anyone else having issues with the "Activate New Product" file not running?  I get about half a second of the "loading" spinning wheel next to my cursor, then nothing.  I opened a support ticket but I'm wondering if this has a known workaround.

    Thanks in advance for the help, and for delivering top-quality content as always 😉  (I assume anyways as I haven't played it yet!)

    EDIT - It's worth mentioning that I've been moving my game files around between drives and had to copy over some Users/Documents files to get scenarios working properly.  Maybe I missed some activation-related files hidden away in a different folder than the main Battlefront program files folder?  If nothing else I assume a clean install would fix this.

    This is something that I think that I will take your advice on when the CMRT module pre-sales open. Best not to put any estimate for release in the pre-order. Giving our best estimate has turned out to be more trouble than it is worth.

    As far as "transparency and communication", I think this comment  holds no water. Both Steve and myself have frequently commented about some of the hurdles that this module has put in front of us. We've both stated what is actually going on. Hard to be more transparent than that unless you think that we are making them up and something else is going on. And if communicating the exact same thing on a daily basis is what you're looking for then you're unlikely to get that. Once it's communicated it doesn't need to be repeated every day......or even weekly...or monthly. Who wants posts that say "ya know X, Y and Z that we said are slowing things down? They still are." every day, week...month?

    For what it's worth, and without getting too deep into someone's personal life/situation, one of the key people in the project has had difficulty in recent times because they are in the area of the California wildfires and have had issues with having electricity. Those in the States are probably familiar with what is going on out there but people outside of the US may not be aware of it.

    Elvis I appreciate your communications, and I should have been clear that you've been transparent in your posts here.  Thewood1 nailed it on the head.  FWIW, I think it's fine to give a general estimate like "Q4 2019" and update it if it doesn't make it and pushes back to "Q1 2020."  It would also probably be easier to come up with a quick prepared announcement around Jan. 1st if you're only updating the estimate quarterly -- just a thought.  But yeah, no estimate is of course simplest 😉

    Sorry to hear about the difficulties re: California being on fire -- I'm in California too but fortunate enough not to be affected.  Hopefully project member and their family is safe and their property isn't affected too badly.

    LOL wow. Yeah you have it totally wrong. The *do* give a **** - several actually - which is why they didn't just release it as is to meet some date. They actually want the game to be ready before they release it.

    They care about releasing a quality product, sure.  That's not what I was saying.  I am saying they don't give a **** about transparency and communication.  That cannot be any clearer.  They are perfectly happy with updating the "expected Month X" to "expected Month Y" on day 1 of Month Y, which anybody with a pair of eyes and a calendar could have told me.

    i guess it will be October.

    Would be nice to find out before Nov. 1st if the module is going to slip again.  At this point I'm working under the impression that it's a "when it's done" kind of thing with no definitive release date.  No problem for me personally since I'm sure the module will be high quality whenever it does arrive, but it's a bit annoying to put down money for a preorder with a release "estimate" that just rolls along with the months.  Might as well make it clear on the store page that the release estimate is just 2019.
