unable to install through AppStore?

[Sander]

Hi!

After playing the demo I decided to purchase the CMBN game. I did so through the Mac Appstore.

After download it throws a message "Unable to Download App"

Any thoughts here?

 

Thanks!

There is a couple of issues with the Apple Store. My opponent on Hot Seat bought a Windows PC and says it is !00 % better. The thing I can remember is the Camera Controls were not functioning right.

Hi!

So, you to let ppl know what to do: Ask for help at Battlefront. They were very helpful en fast to provide a solution.

2: I requested a refund from Apple through the chat support .. They told me they will do a full refund. all solved.

 

3 : Later I thought that it might be the Security & privacy settings in your system settings. Just when I realised checking these settings, all of the above were solved.

 

Now I am trying to conquer Normandy

I want to start playing CMBN. The situation is that I have a 2017 iMac with max. RAM, MacOS 11.2. My friend against whom I'll play has a Win10 machine. I have the following questions, maybe someone can help me out before I invest?

1. From the discussion I gather that I should avoid buying via AppleStore and rather get the game via BF. Correct?
2. Is the game still supported on Mac, i. e. developed or at least biug-fixed? Asking only because most discussions involvong MacOS are awfully dated (knowledge base recommends to install MacOS 9 … was that before the last ice age or after? ) .
3. Is it likely that the game will run on my Mac and my OS version?
4. Will I be able to play against my friend, despite the OS difference?

Thanks for any information you can give! The game looks very interesting (I come from boardgaming, i. e. ASL, Conflict of Heroes, Breakout Normandy etc.) but at the price I thought I'd better pre-check. Hobbygeneral's video series on Youtube also looks as if this was a game I should like.

OK, I can answer all that now myself, for the benefit of those who have similar doubts and questions: The thing to solve all of that was to get the Demo from the Battlefront website. With the Demo you get the manuals (they are in the app's folder, inside the Applications folder, this is the same for the full game). Both the Demo and the actual game run fine on this Mac and this OS (11.2 a.k.a. Big Sur). I have 2 monitors, and CMBN occupies one of them in full-screen mode but leaves the other alone. App switcher (cmd-tab) works fine from and to CMBN, for eaxample to look up the manual (you cannot just navigate to the other monitor because the cursor is locked on the game screen).

Not tried #4 yet, but other posts make clear that it should work. We'll try this evening.

I got the full CMBN package now and, from some of the videos on Youtube, I realize that I must have tried, ages ago, the very first version of Combat Mission. The results were so that I dropped the project. Thank you, Battlefront and the more persistent community, to have heaved this game to its current level!
