Dave85 Posted December 22, 2013 Share Posted December 22, 2013 Hi guys I just reinstalled CMBN after uninstalling it some months ago. It works ok but the stangest thing has happened.... All unit, weapon descriptions etc are completely wrong. They seem to be a random assortment of any unit name ever used in a cm2 game including several modern unit names. For example a sherman may be described as a "PZ4H Greyhound" In quick battle when I choose each side...the allies are called 'sexton' and the germans 'eagle' This is not a wind up! It makes it rather difficult to choose a force in quick battle. Just installing Market Garden now so hoping that will fix it but was just wondering if anyone had any ideas..... 0 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Wicky Posted December 22, 2013 Share Posted December 22, 2013 Did you install the patches and updates in order? Somewhere here or on the store site should be a description of the required correct order. I'm dreading having to ever reinstall! 0 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Skwabie Posted December 22, 2013 Share Posted December 22, 2013 venturing a guess? 1 mods. especially ones that contain the strings.txt file. 2 corrupted install. Mine goes BN+CW bundle, 1.11 patch, 2.0 upgrade, 2.01 patch, MG, 2.12 patch in sequence. (not sure if 2.01 is still needed when MG sits on top) 0 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Ales Dvorak Posted December 22, 2013 Share Posted December 22, 2013 Dave85, do you use Vin"s animated text? If so, you have to install newest version.... 0 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Dave85 Posted December 22, 2013 Author Share Posted December 22, 2013 Thanks for the replies I've not installed any mods just the base game. No patches either. I'm useless with computers and have always had trouble installing these games. No luck with the MG module so trying to reinstall commonwealth now to hopefully get the 1.11 patch 0 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Matteus Posted January 1, 2014 Share Posted January 1, 2014 AHA - exactly the same problem. I've just posted in the tech forum about it. I'll try to uninstall and reinstall in that order! Another example I just rememberd- Stuarts described as Stryker platoons! 0 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

(not sure if 2.01 is still needed when MG sits on top) It is not, the 2.12 patch is all inclusive and can be applied directly over the 2.0 upgrade. 0 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
