The teams that make campaigns and scenarios for BFC are also members of the community who usually have day jobs unless they're retired.

Right. But the content for a game cannot be created until the game is completed, right? Which means that if you have a battle pack and a game that contains a similar amount of content, the new games content was completed on a shorter length of time than the battle pack content.

Fire and Rubble didn't involve creation of a new game and all the things that go into that, and covid also applies to CMCW.

The Fire & Rubble battlepack took **several** years to go from announcement to release. By contrast CMCW, a full game, took only something like 18 months from start to finish.

So did you or did you not purchase the Game Engine 4 update?

The reason I started this thread is because it's ridiculous that the most active thread on this forum is the Ukraine war thread and this is my protest. That's why I used the exact same title and exact same opening post as the Ukraine thread.

A link to the game engine update should be in your Orders history on battlefront.com

The problem isn't the DLC, I guarantee you the problem is that either somebody is on a different patch to everybody else, or somebody has selected units from DLC that other players do not have. All installs contain DLC content, the license keys just unlocks it. To ensure nobody selects DLC units, make sure that the person that is selecting units in the force selection screen uses spacebar and selects only those units that are in the base game. To ensure that everybody is using the same patch, make sure to check the Updates page on the battlefront website, or to install the Steam version of the game. The main menu shows the patch version installed on the bottom right corner.

@BFCElvis Every few days or weeks people show up on the unofficial CM discord server asking for help with the AMD cards, and every time we can only tell them that they either must roll back drivers, or if they can't roll them back (which the newer cards can't be) then they should seek a refund. This issue has been going on for over a year now, and I think it's about time that there should be an announcement or warning on the BFC store page and related sales sites like Matrix, Slitherine, and Steam, that currently CM is not supported on AMD cards. You already do this for integraded chips on the battlefront.com site, but I think it should be explicitly mentioned for AMD cards as well. Very few people know what OpenGL is or what cards support it.

Battle packs and campaigns are created by volunteers, not BFC staff who would have been working on any steam integration. It's a whole lot better to automatically get patches than to know you have to periodically search for a notification on a forum or website in case the game has been updated or a new expansion is available.

CM allows battalion-sized engagements. It's specifically designed for them in fact. The issue is that the game engine struggles with actually allowing people to fight on battalion-scale maps, especially in the modern game where units are more dispersed than ever before. I've already spoken with Elvis in a related helpdesk ticket, and he indicated that BFC view larger map sizes as a high priority as so much of their current work is in modern warfare.

That's configurable in the power settings.

Why do you think I created the topic with a near-identical title and opening post?

Something like this probably wouldn't have worked if the bulk of the active military force hadn't been in the west bank ethnically cleansing villages so settlers could move in.

The forces amassing over there are getting ridiculous. Is this just sabre rattling by Israel or are they going to pull the trigger?

Might be worth sharing the save file. Could also create a helpdesk ticket as well, at https://battlefront.mojohelpdesk.com/

Screenshots paint a thousand words. Are the troops panicked? Are they in the process of boarding or disembarking a troop transport?

@BFCElvis can you clean up the crap on the previous page please?

I see you're relatively new here. Do a search on the forums for "spotting" and "spotting broken" and see how many hundreds of posts have been made about how spotting in game is broken.

It's an example of behaviour in CM happening in real life. Ergo, CM's spotting is realistic.

That's the point. People have been bitching and moaning for years that spotting in CM is broken because tanks don't spot something which is right beside them and shooting at them. I'm showing an example of this from real life, showing that the CM experience is what happens in reality.

Sometimes bad opinions need to be shown for what they are.

Man, I'm just making fun of the people who complain that tanks can't see each other when 50 meters away by showing a real life video where one tank cannot see another tank that is shooting at it from 50 meters away.

I guess it depends on whether you think spotting in CM is broken or not.
