CanuckGamer Posted August 3, 2015 Share Posted August 3, 2015 I recently upgraded to Game Engine 3 and 3.11. We then started Joe's Bridge and some strange things happening. When I click on the combat commands there is no longer a "Target" button, only "Target Light". Is this a bug? When I tried to deploy a mortar, the blue target line appeared and below it the following text: "Click to Place Flavor Object" - Huh? As a test I loaded up another scenario and again no "Target" combat button. What gives? 0 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
CanuckGamer Posted August 3, 2015 Author Share Posted August 3, 2015 Loaded up Wittman's Demise and the "Target" button is not there. In addition the "Target Armor Arc" button is greyed out so it is not accessible. I just installed a new video card, a GTX 960 so I hope that doesn't have something to do with it. 0 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
JoMac Posted August 3, 2015 Share Posted August 3, 2015 (edited) When you upgraded to v3.0 Did you update to v3.10 before 3.11...If not, then this may be why you notice strange things. Joe Edited August 3, 2015 by JoMc67 0 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
A Canadian Cat Posted August 3, 2015 Share Posted August 3, 2015 Yeah it sounds like missing text files or other resources. You could download the master installer. It is big but you get everything installed in one step. 0 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
CanuckGamer Posted August 3, 2015 Author Share Posted August 3, 2015 No I didn't install 3.10 before 3.11. Can I go back and install 3.10 now and then re-install 3.11? If I decide to download the Master Installer, is that at the Repository? Thanks for the replies. 0 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
CanuckGamer Posted August 3, 2015 Author Share Posted August 3, 2015 I just went to the Repository and I don't even see a 3.10 patch. It also says that 3.11 is all inclusive so still confused. 0 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
JoMac Posted August 3, 2015 Share Posted August 3, 2015 (edited) Ok, as IanL has pointed out the 3.11 Master Installer is all you should need (it encompasses 3.10, 3.11 & Vehicle Pack)...BF Link Below: http://www.battlefront.com/index.php?option=com_versions&Itemid=317#CombatMission: Battle for Normandy Edited August 3, 2015 by JoMc67 0 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
CanuckGamer Posted August 4, 2015 Author Share Posted August 4, 2015 I reinstalled patch 3.11 and the "Target" button now appears. However still no "Deploy Weapon" shows in this scenario. I am thinking that installing a new video card in the middle of our PBEM game has screwed things up so I started the scenario over again as a one player game as a test, but still no "Deploy Weapon". I tried another scenario and the "Deploy Weapon" was there. I guess I will just have to play the remainder of this PBEM game without being able to use my mortars. 0 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
JoMac Posted August 4, 2015 Share Posted August 4, 2015 Ah, you installed the patch in the middle of a PBEM Game ? ( installed New Video in middle of game shouldn't matter ), and could be part of the problem. I remember that it was mentioned to either finish a Game before both sides updated to same version or had to wait until the next PBEM turn in order for the updated version to take affect...Something along those lines. It's also possible that one Scenario you had larger Mortars that use the 'Deploy Weapon' Command, and the other Scenario used Light Mortar detachments that don't use the 'Deploy Weapon' Command ( Platoon Mortars such as Brit 2" & German 50 mm ). 0 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
CanuckGamer Posted August 4, 2015 Author Share Posted August 4, 2015 JoMc67 I went back and replayed my last PBEM turn and you are absolutely correct, the Brits have 2" mortars. I was not aware that they did not need to be deployed. I am wondering it they have to be spotted for my an HQ or observer. Looks like they can fire directly on their own. My friend and I installed patch 3.11 before we started the current PBEM game. I just reinstalled it in the middle of our game because there was no "Target" button showing. After the re-install, it now shows. Thanks for you help. 0 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

The can fire directly on their own and the cannot be used by an HQ or FO for indirect fire. because there was no "Target" button showing. After the re-install, it now shows. Good, glad to hear it. 0 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
