Were you able to get it working?
I've been having the same problem with CMFI for a few months now.
CMFB works fine and up until a couple of months ago so did CMFI. I played my turn in a H2H game, quit and later in the day tried to launch the game for another turn but all I get was the blue windows spinning circle for about a second then nothing. Uninstalled and reinstalled probably 5 times with no effect. Then I managed to get it running a few times by either,
1. Running the .exe as administrator (worked for a about a week)
2. Moving / copying the .exe in and out of the directory (worked for about 2 weeks)
Then for some reason that I don't have the technical skill to understand - neither of the techniques worked anymore (only came across them on the forums).
The only fix that consistently worked was to launch the game through Steam but it makes it a stuttering, laggy bitch to play and a miserable experience.
Tried uninstalling again and this time around I cant even get the activation menu to load after install - just the little blue windows circle for a second again then just me starring at my desktop while voicing profanity. (even after running the EngineGSClean tool from Battlefront). Managed to get the activation screen to load when launching through steam but now I'm back to the laggy experience.
I know its got nothing to do with my antivirus as out frustration to identify the issue I uninstalled it completely just to check if the game would launch - it doesn't.
I want to add CMBN and CMRT to my collection but I cant get pass taking a $200+ gamble for a product that might not work, spent a week downloading every single mod and scenario for these titles in preparation for the purchase.
Desperately curious if you were able to fix it and if so how?
