Squallion Posted July 18, 2014 Share Posted July 18, 2014 I started CommonWealth forces for the first time today. Well, something weird is happening with the interface. It's not giving me proper names for things. When I hover over a rifle at the bottom of the screen, it says "medium atg plt". We all know that ONE RIFLE is NOT an ATG platoon. So on and so forth. Apparently the british also called their binoculars "Ausf.D". Turns out that it's also using the wrong save file folder. Found the right folder and saved to my desktop. Going to try an uninstall and reinstall of the whole game. 0 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Holman Posted July 18, 2014 Share Posted July 18, 2014 Are you using an outdated version of Vin's Animated Text mod? Doing so will throw off all of the names for units in the game. The 2.12 version is here. 0 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
womble Posted July 18, 2014 Share Posted July 18, 2014 Did you install CW over the top of a v2 CMBN? Not following the prescribed install sequence can lead to UI errors too, AIUI... 0 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Squallion Posted July 18, 2014 Author Share Posted July 18, 2014 All is right. Had to reinstall everything in proper order. I think that battlefront should make things less of a pain. It was quite a fiasco. There should be a launcher linking keys to accounts for easy downloads. I had to refer to old emails for keys. Well, they aren't that old at this point, but, that's pretty ghetto. 0 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

If you log into Battlefront.com you can select "My Account". From there you will see a list of every purchase you have made which, when selected, shows the product and license key. So, no need to search old emails... 0 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

MikeyD Posted July 19, 2014 Share Posted July 19, 2014 All is right. Had to reinstall everything in proper order. That has caught even the old Beta testing hands on occasion. And for Beta testers instead on reinstalling or upgrading every six months we sometimes have to do it every week! So we're twenty six times more likely to get something wrong. 0 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
