If the above is not correct I'm sure someone more senior in knowledge will come along and correct me. 0 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Perhaps I missed the memo. It seems like you've only partially quoted what I wrote. I agree, the non-calculating player should upgrade. But the game turn is not upgraded until AFTER the calculating player upgrades and THEN calculates. The receiving player just watches the replay. That can still be the old version, but then he needs to upgrade or else you're back to where you started. To expand: One player performs the calculations and sends the resulting turn to the other player. The sender needs to be patched BEFORE calculating, or the sent turn is the old version. The receiver (if unpatched) will not send an updated turn back after watching, once that player becomes the calculating player, if that player is not upgraded. So...both need to be patched. Sure, the receiver could wait until after watching the replay to patch, before calculating the next turn, but that just takes us back to step one, where the new receiver (the original sender) is now patched before receiving the turn. Does that make sense? 0 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
A Canadian Cat Posted July 17, 2020 Share Posted July 17, 2020 The part about how the game calculates the turn does. But I have never heard the requirement that the payer whose machine does the calculation needs to be the one who upgrades. That part makes no sense. The file format of the .ema and .bts files is the file format of the .ema and .bts files. The upgrading is done when when an older .bts file is read by a newer version of the game. The newer version of the game creates the new .ema format and upgrade complete. Thankfully in this patch older install cannot see the .ema files that come from the newer game so it is difficult to make a mistake by accident. 0 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

BFCElvis Posted July 17, 2020 Author Share Posted July 17, 2020 I'm pretty sure that it doesn't matter which player converts the PBEM. I've never once thought about whether I should be the one converting a file or if my tormentor should be the one to convert it. 0 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Freyberg Posted July 18, 2020 Share Posted July 18, 2020 I didn't install the following three patches, because my version wasn't the one listed in the Version Requirement screen of the installer. CMFI & CMBN seem to have updated fine. I each case I loaded my most recent saved game and it worked OK. As for the three below, I thought I was up-to-date with purchased upgrades, although I haven't tried to keep up with free patches. However, I couldn't find a link on this page - https://www.battlefront.com/patches - to bring me up-to-date with version requirements for this current set of patches,  Does this make sense and could BF advise on what to do? Thanks --------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------- CMBS Engine 4 (v2.0 through v2.13) VERSION REQUIREMENT This v2.13 Patch of Combat Mission: Black Sea requires you to have a working copy of Combat Mission: Black Sea installed and updated to v2.12. It works for both base-game only installs as well as those that have Battle Pack 1. My version: 2.10 Didn't try to install --------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------- CMFB Engine 4 (v2.0 through v2.03) VERSION REQUIREMENT This v2.03 patch of Combat Mission: Final Blitzkrieg requires you to have a working copy of Combat Mission: Final Blitzkrieg v2.02 installed. My version: 2.00 Didn't try to install --------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------- CMSF2 Engine 4 (v2.03) VERSION REQUIREMENT This v2.03 patch of Combat Mission: Shock Force 2 requires you to have a working copy of Combat Mission: Shock Force 2 v2.02 installed.

I updated using the patch but I just like to have the full install for backup purposes. One minor wish for the order page if Battlefront are reading - could it show a summary of the order - took a bit of random clicking to find the right ones  0 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Howler Posted July 19, 2020 Share Posted July 19, 2020 1 hour ago, Bulletpoint said: Thanks for posting the patch notes. Do you know what kind of inappropriate reaction this one is about? I'm assuming this addresses the tendency to SLOW to ground level ignoring all intermediate floors. This may be fine in a 2-storey (CMBN). Less so when located in buildings higher than 2-storeys (modern). Otherwise, I dunno. 0 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
user1000 Posted July 20, 2020 Share Posted July 20, 2020 Good job battlefront! It makes the games that much better. Thanks for that post Wicky. Every time we post a bug they log it, view it, try to replicate it and roll out a fix that doesn't mess other things up. I can't say that is the case for every gaming company out there. Battlefront listens to us. I will try the patches when I have time, enjoying summer and the weather right now. 0 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I recommend logging support ticket to get the official answer and possibly fix the release notes. I did dl the CMBS update and notice that all the brz files are there (210, 211, 212, 213). That means it can patch any version before that just fine. So, I think the release notes are incorrect but do log a ticket just to be sure.
