I recently just bought CMSF2 game bundle with all the modules and I love it. But my issue right now is that every time I play it, the menus and sometimes in gameplay will display some black lines and white pixels over the words in selecting missions. It makes selecting options in quick battle and campaigns hard to pick. Any ideas on this fix? I haven't downloaded any patches yet.

Hello all! So yesterday I decided to play some CM FB after some time of absence, just to find that all the scenarios and campaigns were gone. Tried FI, same problem, tried RT, and again, all gone. After some investigation I found out that all the CM files saved in my user file were gone for some reason that scapes me. I dont know where they went, but I guess the easiest solution to my problem is to make a reinstall. The thing is that I remember reading somewhere in the forums that there is a hard limit in how many times you can install a CM game in a computer. Is that true? And in that case, it applies also to reinstalls or only to new installs in a second computer? Thanks in advance

So, I'm in the setup phase and learned that the open up button allows the vehicles gunner to shoot, and acquire gives people ammo! In a conquest to just click everything, I noticed those three buttons in a row, the green red red ones with different symbols on them. What do they do? A second question as well, do rifleman need the 7mm ap ammo? How can I get them to use it now that I've given it to them? How much ammo should I give them before it affects stamina? (assuming it does at all)

Translation.docx Please, I need some help. I'M French and I'm currently working on a scenario (CM Final Blitzkrieg) dealing with the Liberation of Farébersviller. Is someone could be kind enough to turn into good English the attached text and to give it back to me ? My mail : fhpm@orange.fr Thx Rouge2

Tactical lifehack. I think that it is important for us to share some tactical lifehacks related to this wonderful game. Please attach screenshot of your knowhow and some description of it. I think if we will organize our answers that would work better. So please share your ideas supported by screenshots and detailed description of what it does or what it serves for. Thank you. Since I’ve started this topic I will provide first lifehack. As you can see on a picture there are some barbered wire around mixed mines. This thing is useful when it is located on the opposite side from your enemy across some river. It should be specifically placed in areas where crossing the river is the most comfortable for your enemy. Simple at first look it turns out very effective in slowing down your enemy. Enemy infantry forces will need to go around or will be forced to use some sappers to go through it. If enemy forces will use armored vehicles to run over that wired thing they will be damaged by mines almost immediately. Even you facing smart opponent who will use engineers this thing can became a mass grave in no time. All you have to do is to place your BMP, or any other armored vehicle on a solid distance from this trap. Your vehicle should have good visual of that area and should be able to fire through it. When your enemy will try to organize some breakthrough it will be forced to slow down, its infantry will need to go around or break through under fire, its vehicles will not be able to advance fast. The main goal of this thing is to slow down your opponent. Furthermore I’ve also checked this thing on human factor. One of the people I’ve played with faced this trap, he was almost sure that I’m simply wasting my fortifications shaping them in awkward manner. He decided to go through it by using 3 of his BTR’s 82A without even unloading his infantry. The result was dramatic, I had a BMP-2 sitting in ambush around 450 meters away from that spot. I gave certain target arc to my BMP, and in terms of two minutes an entire platoon was smoked out. Then he decided to go through it with bigger forces and that took some time. By the moment he finally passed that thing my arty was already preparing to shell some area in front of him. Conclusion: this thing can be a trap for AI, it can be a trap for a real player, and it is a great way to slow down your opponent. It is also a great way to redirect your opponents plans because most of the people are getting excited when they see some barricades, they really wanna go through them. Counter act hint: if you want to counter this thing you need to shoot through barricades, deploy smoke, use your engineers and then move on. You can also call an artillery strike on it but that is a waste. If you see this thing I would recommend to cross that river in a different place because price of crossing can be way higher than you think.

Guys while modding some vehicles I've came across one thing I cant solve on my own. When I've modded BM Oplot Tank I've found out that no matter what I do this happens: Whenever I touch a turret of that tank this thing comes out and covers its sight. No matter how I do it - work detail by detail, or macro or micro level texturing this thing appears. I dont know what to do. I've tried to rework side gear textures, break down each texture in parts but every time I do something to its turret - this thing appeats. How to get rid of it? I've tried everything. So if someone knows what the problem might be - please help. So the original texuture is fine, but when you touch it... this thing covers the main sight... I don't know what to do. Please help. P.S. I think we can use this topic for seeking solutions to your problems as well. So let us work together to make CMBS even better than it already is. Thank you.

I'm trying to help my dad with CMBN installation. Here are the separate file components he had; - CMBN disc -CMBN Commonwealth Forces Disc -CMBN upgrade V2 - CMBN Operation Market Garden Disc - CMBN Upgrade 3+4 Windows bundle Downloaded files. After having trouble downloading version 4, I finally managed to get it installed, however his two add on modules were not present. I read some of the forum and tried to figure out how to do it. I understood that they needed to be reactivated, yet I couldn't find the activate modules shortcut, nor could I find it when searching the files on the computer. I need help on how to keep the v4 upgrade, but also how to install/activate the Market Garden/Commonwealth modules. Thank you P.S. Whilst looking through the files, i could only see the v4 upgrade, and no v3 upgrade.

First off, Hello everyone and thanks for taking some time to read this. So while I am a complete noob to this series I am not one to "sim" games similar to this. I have meddled with DCS World, Operation Flashpoint (the old ones), the Arma series, etc. So my main thing is I have played the Demo for Normandy and like it and have watched several videos about the other games but I still have some questions that I hope the community can answer. Also, sorry if I asked anything that was already answered in another thread. Thanks again all and I can't wait to dive into the series. - Would the Normandy Big Bundle be the way to go for content and mod support or are any of the other CM games more bang for your buck? - How does CM Fortress Italy and Final Blitzkrieg hold up in terms of content/mods? - Does Black Sea or Afghanistan have more content/community support?

I have been browsing looking for a uniform mod to update the Kriegsmarine skins and i have found one but i do not see any download links and cannot find it anywhere. If anyone would be able to share the mod with me or a download link id be very appreciative, Thanks

Hello Combat Mission Community, I have recently made the plunge into the combat mission series. I got Red Thunder as my first game, and I am enjoying it greatly. I have a lot to learn, but I am getting to controls down. The one problem i'm having, is that there is no 1080p setting, I am using a 1080p monitor but, i don't see an option to enable it. I set the screen to "Desktop" but I'm not sure if its using the full 1080p. Is there a way to force 1080p, or is the "desktop" setting doing this? Thanks for the quick troubleshooting, Milesb11
