  1. I think I found the problem , graphics board selection was set to auto select , and it looks like it was using s the intel graphics vs the Nvidia graphics card , I set it to the Nvidia and have been able to play so far without fatal errors. Would it have been possible to play Black Sea for a year ( without problems ) with the CPU graphics instead of the GPU ?

  2. One more thing, maybe an area or linear target selection four crew manned weapons. So you could give a HMG, MMG, grenade launches, ( crew served), etc. more suppression. It would even be nice for IFV to have this also , not just blasting a single point. You could hose a tree line before the tanks go by.

  3. I know this has been mentioned many times but , maybe a rolling barrage could be set up. Like now you can set pre start point, area, linear zones,with duration, saturation, and purpose. Seems like a rolloing barrage tile could be added under the arty selection ,point,area,linear,...rolling. You can Set these at the beginning , or even mid game , providing LOS after start. Just have the , rolling tile , allow multiple entries ,after you set the the tube, type,duration , general personnel, and the time. The time selection , immediate,  five , ten , fifteen min , could be linked to a adjust fire command , and you set the next waypoints , up to four. just without the spotting and recieving time delay , there could be a briefer preparing delay , coordinate adjustment only.  So with what is currently in the game, almost, you could at least set up four linear,area,or point rolling barrages. And this would most likely have to be set before turn one starts , as LOS , unless you have multiple drones, prevents you now from making just ,coordinate strikes , all over the map.

    I'm confused by this question (you may be too 🙂  ) You don't "have it in 7zip".   7 zip is a utility to open compressed files. It's just a program/app. Do you still have the downloaded installer in .zip format?  If so, then once you've downloaded Bandizip, open Bandizip and select whatever menu choice gets you to specify a file to open (I'm assuming File/Open or File/Uncompress but I don't have it, so I'm guessing - it should be very obvious).

    Once it does it's thing you should then have an installer that is executable that you can just double click on and it will run. The installer for PC should end in .exe.

    You don't have to throw 7-zip away if you don't want to. I've always found it to be a pretty good utility.

    One more comment. You say "move the install to Bandizip"  Just leave the downloaded installer .zip file in your Downloads directory. Direct Bandizep to open that file. The installer will take care of putting the files in all the right places.

    Hope that helps.

    The only place the CMBS  installer files , I see , are in 7 zip , when I originally download from the email it had a move to : with a few places available on (new) laptop - I first chose internet explorer, would not open , then wordpad , would not open , then when someone posted about putting them in 7zip that's were the files (15) of them rested. Since I thought all the crazy moving around of the files corrupted them , I reset computer to factory setting ( again it was new except CMBS). So I got 7zip app this am before I re downloaded BS and same error. Are you saying RAR files are somewhere else and 7zip ? I have moved the files from 7zip to desktop , because I had no open with bandizip option with files in 7zip. I say in 7 zip because when I double click the 7zip app icon I see the installer file and double click that the 15 files. 

     

    So so when you ask if the installer is in . Zip , I have no ideal what that means.  I was expecting this game to pop up on my desktop with a CMBS icon and I click and play ( once originally downloaded I had the option of moving the installer files in the choice given on the first or so posts on this thread. And I chose what a chosed till you guys started helping

    Hello,

    i bought Battle for Normandy 2011 and played it a long time. Then i paused and want to start now again.

    Problem is, i cant log in to download the game and a password reset dont works, because my email adress ist unknown at Battlefront. But they should know it, because i got also Email from then and i also received the download link and the licence key via this email adress.

    I wrote a tickte to the helpdesk and after the ticket was sent, i found my licence key in an older Email from December 2011.

    How i can get the installation files now ?

    Thank you and greetings

    I am the last person to help ( very computer illiterate) , I have been trying to play Black Sea since purchasing Saturday ( new laptop arrived Friday ) - see my post in the general discussion forum - just bought Black Sea now what ? My instillation downloads are on my purchasing email from BF , along with activation code and order number - itmay take a while for people to respond to you , I had more than 20 views before people started to help - I made mistakes, still not able to install game yet, but last ditch effort this am going on.

    good luck , you could tag members who responded to me , but  that would be up to you, and I can't speak for how much admin. Work they want to do , but  they were very helpful to me 

  6. Gonna try one more thing ,since this was a new laptop I am going to reset it to original files , then I will try down load again , what I am getting now is during installation it say there is a missing file related to me local time , temp. Picture is too big to post

    an error occurred while trying to read the source file

    Yeah I’d start with a clean slate to rule out the old files causing issues

    Yup , I also remember, I get 2 activations , I think I can download as any times as necessary. But steam looking better , if after I purchase it , I hit a download button on their email and it pops up on my desktop without giving me a chance to screw it up. I think maybe original files corrupted with the multi transfers between internet explorer and wordpad

    No only if you hadn’t already but sounds like you have. Not sure what else to suggest. Might be worth trying Steam if you can’t get it working. You would probably need to uninstall the version you have just installed, there’s an i installer in the folder you installed it to I think

    I yeah , I have the second download from BF going now , so I need to uninstall everything , zip files , 7zip files , manuals, or will this overwrite it , but steam looking like an option right now, gonna wait the 3 hours for the 2nd download from BF
