Hoops71 Posted July 3, 2020 Share Posted July 3, 2020 Hi guys n gals, Just reinstalled CMBN on my new PC after many years away in the wilderness. I have a few questions though, after dowloading 3.12 again I noticed I had Upgrade 3 and 4 in my shopping basket too ($10 each), and for the life of me I cant remember what they are? Should I install them again? Also Ive noticed the game engine is now ver 4, but everytime I try to open the RAR file i get the following error mssg 'The file does not have an app associated with it for performing the action....' .Please bear in mind Im not the most tech savy person, so what exactly does that mean? I have 7-Zip, so I take it its not that? Cheers for your help. Nice to be back! 0 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Where's that? the only downloads I can see are under my 'Orders' and they are the CMBN Engine 3 Big Bundle,from 2014 (which Ive downloaded) and the two upgrades mentioned above. Upgrade 3,seems to be v3.12 and Upgrade 4 surprise surprise is for 4 (but I keep getting that 'The file does not have an app associated with it for performing the action....' error mssg when i try to open it). Im stumped. Edited July 3, 2020 by Hoops71 0 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Some people still play it. 0 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I remember, especially that Infantry under fire became very shaky and tended to run away quickly. That was pretty annoying in on-going games, of course. Plus, some infantry-heavy scenarios became almost unplayable. To a certain extend, this has been fixed in a later v4-Version. Honestly, could not tell the difference now. But it left a „bad taste“ for some people and I met some, who prefer to play v3.12. 0 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Bulletpoint Posted July 16, 2020 Share Posted July 16, 2020 Because CMBN 4.0 has a serious bug making troops do suicide charges. 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
IICptMillerII Posted July 16, 2020 Share Posted July 16, 2020 That bug has been thoroughly squashed with the release of the new patch. I would recommend upgrading your game to the most recent version. The TacAI behavior is quite good now in my opinion. 4 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Ultradave Posted July 17, 2020 Share Posted July 17, 2020 ^^^ What he said. Definitely it's a huge improvement. 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
