Thanks; I've just looked at it again and it still seems to lack a lot of things included in ASL which make it a much richer experience, and not much development since it launched. And because the AI in most games kind of sucks, I usually play hotseat vs myself in all games (other than the few games I play MP), so don't see it being a big issue with ASL. 0 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I've done exactly this in search of a campaign fix. Have played (and re-played) through a number of operations in CMAK and CMBB now and really enjoying it. Sure, there are things I miss from CMx2, but on the other hand there are things I like from CMx1 that aren't in the later games. Graphics are more primitive too yes, but it runs beautifully in 1920x1080. Loads fast, plays well, no technical issues at all. Lots of content too. Got the GOG version and CMBB comes with about 8 ops and 150 battles. Plenty more on the inter-web of course. I get it that some folks won't be tempted, but some might also be pleasantly surprised by how well these titles have aged 0 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I can get it to run, but either it runs in a square resolution which makes me feel like I'm looking at the game through a keyhole, or it is stretched horizontally enough to make it really irritating for me. Have you figured out how to make it run "wider" without horizontal stretching? Edited September 19, 2019 by 76mm 0 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Have you figured out how to make it run "wider" without horizontal stretching? Well, nothing I did really, and not sure it will work with a 'legacy' version. As mentioned I got the GOG version since I built my new PC without the foresight to include an optical drive, rendering the fact I held on to my disks all the years useless. So I bought CMAK and CMBB on GOG ($12 total). These include a DX utility in the install directory. I installed the game, let it go to default res and ran the game once so it created whatever necessary files or folders it might need to. Exit game, ran the DX utility and chose 1920x1080, and I also set the setting right below, aspect something or other, to disabled and fired it up to fullscreen widescreen. Works splendidly I must say, and I will also say that if not for that, if stuck with a non-native, non 16:9 ratio, that I would not find it quite as charming as I do So if you don't have the GOG version I'm not sure if you're able to do the same. If you go for the GOG version you'll have this included. ANd perhaps it can be imported in to other versions, but not sure of the legalities of this. 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

landser Posted September 19, 2019 Share Posted September 19, 2019 It's well worth it, peanuts at that price, especially for all you get. Let me know how it goes if you wouldn't mind. I'd be interested if it works as you might expect. 0 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

landser Posted September 19, 2019 Share Posted September 19, 2019 (edited) OK cool, and CMBB actually has 18 operations included I think. 8 is what comes with CMAK. OK, sorry for the derail. Edited September 19, 2019 by landser 0 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

landser Posted September 19, 2019 Share Posted September 19, 2019 (edited) Awesome 76mm. Is it running in the right resolution for you? Full screen? Not stretched? Lots of old-school Combat Mission goodness right there. My posts made me wonder if the GoG version is cool with Battlefront? I haven't been around much and I would temper (edit: or remove) my comments if perhaps there's any contention there.

76mm Posted September 19, 2019 Share Posted September 19, 2019 (edited) It is "full-screen", but still probably 25% of the screen on the left and right is black. But much better than it was. Is yours true full screen? In the dx utility, I've set the display mode to "same as desktop" (which is 1920x1080). There are a bunch of other settings that I don't understand, so I haven't messed with them... The GoG version is totally legit and was announced here by BF.

landser Posted September 19, 2019 Share Posted September 19, 2019 OK, that's great then. Yes, you need to run that utility, and yes it's true full screen with no borders. 0 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
76mm Posted September 19, 2019 Share Posted September 19, 2019 I need to mess around with the other settings a bit...with aspect correction disabled, it is full screen but looks a bit stretched out. 0 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Dynaman216 Posted September 20, 2019 Share Posted September 20, 2019 I might have to try the dx utility. If I can run in in a higher resolution then the listed ones it might be worth it. 0 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
