Battlefront Posted February 27, 2016 Share Posted February 27, 2016 Everyone, Sorry about the file name problem. It seems many of you have got it working already but just in case not, please rename your downloaded file to: Windows CMBN Windows 3.12 Update Installer.zipMac CMBN MacOS 3.12 Update Installer.pkg This has been corrected on our server for future downloads. Apologies for the confusion and I hope you enjoy the Battle Pack!Charles 0 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Battlefront Posted February 27, 2016 Share Posted February 27, 2016 Not seeing any new QB maps; latest ones I have are dated Feb 2015. The new QB maps are there, but just have older file dates. Look for any QB map with a "BP1" at the beginning of its name. 0 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Look for any QB map with a "BP1" at the beginning of its name.Wow, longtime since I have seen you on the Forums!I feel quite privileged Found the maps, as described, although only fifteen of 'em. But who's counting.Had a quick look-see and the BP looks good. Here's hoping for more of them.CheersJim 0 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Wicky Posted February 27, 2016 Share Posted February 27, 2016 (edited) Renamed Mac battle pack installer to .pkg which worked - up until thisCan't see a way to enter pack activation serial no.All modules installed and game showing 3.12 Edited February 27, 2016 by Wicky 0 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Battlefront Posted February 27, 2016 Share Posted February 27, 2016 Can't see a way to enter pack activation serial no.On the Mac, please go to the "Documents" folder where your CM Battle for Normandy app is located.In "Documents" you'll see an icon for "Activate New Products". Run that. It will let you enter your BPack activation key. 0 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Thewood1 Posted February 27, 2016 Share Posted February 27, 2016 I am having the same issue on my Win10 PC. The activation exe asks me to reactivate all my modules? Should it be doing that? 0 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Thewood1 Posted February 27, 2016 Share Posted February 27, 2016 OK, I just tried entering the BP #. And it worked. Seems strange that the program asks me to enter my original CMBN #. 0 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
verulam Posted February 27, 2016 Share Posted February 27, 2016 Great thanks for this, up and running. 0 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
lordhedgwich Posted February 27, 2016 Share Posted February 27, 2016 Ok so are most of the scenarios supposed to be the same? I noticed there are a lot of scenarios that are almost exactly the same.. For example Hobarts Funnies and Swansong seem identical.. This is a reoccurring theme in the battle pack..Is this a bug? 0 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
MOS:96B2P Posted February 27, 2016 Share Posted February 27, 2016 OK, I just tried entering the BP #. And it worked. Seems strange that the program asks me to enter my original CMBN #.Yes, I had the same thing. For people just downloading the BP (At least for windows) it will ask for your original CMBN activation key. I ignored that and entered the activation key for the Battle Pack. Everything worked fine. 0 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
StieliAlpha Posted February 27, 2016 Share Posted February 27, 2016 No release info on the BFC-site? Now, that is discreet advertizing.Any way: Found, bought, installed, activated and everything seems fine.But now the (I admit very) late question: Since the version is now V3.12, will my ongoing PBEM mails still run with the battle pack newly installed? 0 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Ales Dvorak Posted February 27, 2016 Share Posted February 27, 2016 Does 3.12 version works on OS 10.6 8? I can't open the game... It works ok on latest Mac OS. 0 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
A Canadian Cat Posted February 27, 2016 Share Posted February 27, 2016 But now the (I admit very) late question: Since the version is now V3.12, will my ongoing PBEM mails still run with the battle pack newly installed?You cab upgrade your PBEM games. Just make sure you coordinate that with your opponent. Once you upgrade your opponent will not be able to read the turn file until they upgrade as well.The procedure is to review the latest turn in the old version, move to the command phase and save the game. Then open the saved game in the newer version and generate the new email file.My usual recommendation is to make a copy of your game install first. Rename the new copied dir something that makes sense and then install the patch on top of the copy. That way you can keep playing your PBEM games while you coordinate with your opponents and you can play with the new content. 0 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Holien Posted February 27, 2016 Share Posted February 27, 2016 Woot!!Bought and installed, this was after getting back on chair after seeing who was covering the support desk and posting responses...Hope it works out OK for you Jon and that you get some beer money...Cheers 0 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I have CMBN for both PC and Mac - When I bought the battlepack it gave me access to both the installers which I downloaded and installed the mac one first. What I discovered eventually was the PC licence confused the activation on the Mac!! Put right by buying the Mac version (and the neccessary licence). All good now. 0 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Now I remember, we used the same procedure during a CMFI update. 0 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
JonS Posted February 27, 2016 Author Share Posted February 27, 2016 Hobarts Funnies and Swansong seem identical.They aren't identical This was a deliberate design decision, and the fruition of an idea I had waaaay back in the CMSF days. One of the glories of CMx2 is the variety and detail of the TOEs, and anyone who's played, say CMBS and CMRT, can attest to the differences in game play that different TOEs can force. One of the shames of CMx2, I think, is that players seldom get the chance to really examine the differences between TOEs, or the impact that different equipment can have on a given battle. So, in following those threads, a couple of the scenarios in the Battle Pack are explicitly set up to examine the differences that different TOEs and different kit make when conducting the same mission against the same enemy. 0 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Hister Posted February 27, 2016 Share Posted February 27, 2016 Oh that's cool JonS! I tried playing the new campaign but the amount of trees in the first map is making it unplayable for me for the graphical fidelity I want to have. Will lower the 3D quality model to see if that fixes it somehow. Trees in general present a true goh for my rig also on tiny maps... Thanx for all your work though. 0 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
