Thewood1 Posted March 2, 2021 Share Posted March 2, 2021 Actually, it can be programmed in to check GPU and select. But not many games do it. AAA titles usually have a relationship with nVidia to look for a card and pre-optimize the settings. But most indy games will never do that. 0 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Double Deuce Posted March 8, 2021 Share Posted March 8, 2021 Just curious, for those in the know, what 'Force' naming convention will be used for CMCW? I know the WWII titles use Axis/Allies and the CMSF2 (the only modern title I have) uses Red/Blue. Will it be NATO/WP, Red/Blue, etc? The reason I ask is I'm working up my own custom tweaked Scenario AI Planning and Scenario Objective Worksheets based on the ones in the "Sheriff of Oosterbeek - Scenario Design DAR/AAR" PDF. 0 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
John Kettler Posted March 8, 2021 Share Posted March 8, 2021 (edited) By a sheer fluke, I happened to notice there was a forum for what I thought was a new title for the much desired CM Fulda Gap. Oh, was I ever wrong! Had NO idea there was anything but Modules and maybe Vehicle Packs in the development pipeline, so this was quite the shock, combined with elation and dismay. Was thrilled to see a game coming out covering the sometimes terrifying period when the Soviets and Warsaw Pact were my bread and butter as a Soviet Threat Analyst, but was greatly dismayed that, after what brother George just asserted was two years, am still not CM functional. Indeed, there are times when I'm not even CoC functional. Immensely frustrating to have such a marvel come out, yet not be able to play it. May do the pre-order anyway and dare to believe I WILL be CM capable again! Congratulations to those who made this game happen. Shall get up to speed by reading the initial AARs which ever precede game release. Regards, John Kettler P.S. Over on the product page, it says this is a CM 4 engine game. Already have the hard copy Engine 4 manual from CMBS, so is all that remains is to DL once the pre-orders can be received? Will there be a dedicated CM Cold WAr Manual as there was for CMBS?

As was explicitly said by a tester, Soviet uniforms and infantry models are still work in progress. So, beta screenshots might not represent what the final product will be. I'm positive that when we'll, finally, run CM:CW on our PCs, we'll see an assortment of SSh-68 and SSh-40/60 helmets. 2 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Considering the foe of the US and NATO was the Red Army (direct translation from the Russian), would have to say Reds in Blue would've been bizarre at best.

One does not really need even 10xx to run the game - the problem is the engine chooses to employ iGPU sometimes despite all the system settings and having a better dGPU to use @IanL Edited March 12, 2021 by IMHO 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

It seems those 15yrs old openGL libraries Cmxx is using have the mind of their own System selection worked just fine until I tried to lower power consumption on dual-GPU laptop with changing the settings for some system processes. Now i can't revert it back however I tried CMxx really sucks at however modern laptops Edited March 12, 2021 by IMHO 0 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I have done this on two high quality notebook computers. One I still have and one no longer with us In both cases I never had the game use the integrated card after I told it to use the better GPU. 0 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Interesting to have the Soviets as Republicans and US troops as the a little bit more socialist Democrats.

MikeyD Posted March 12, 2021 Share Posted March 12, 2021 Democrats are 'socialist' in the same way Republicans are'intelligent'. You've really got to redefine your terms to make that fit. 0 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Once they're released hopefully we can all go back to blowing the bejeezes out of pixeltruppen instead of discussing each others' real or imagined political proclivities. Bring on F&R and CW . 0 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

As long as you don't try to tamper with system processes CMBS behaved well and allowed proper switching between iGPU and dGPU right up to the moment I tried to change the GPU settings for Window Manager and a bunch of other system processes to reduce GPU temperature (DWM sometimes creates an inordinate load on GPU). After that - no luck. I reverted back all the settings yet CMBS still "prefers" iGPU. 0 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Probus Posted March 19, 2021 Share Posted March 19, 2021 @BFCElvis, Any chance we could get some more pics or short videos of CMCW pre-release for us pre-orderers. Just to wet our appetites a little more and give us more to compl... talk about on the forum. I would love to see just an M60 sitting next to an M1 and a M2 sitting next to an M113. A 'drone' flyover would be cool. Although they didn't have camera drones back then... So make it a helicopter flyover if possible. COVID is making me a little (more) stir-crazy. 0 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
