I've correctly setup the game exe and game files directory (D:\Giochi\Steam\steamapps\common\Combat Mission Shock Force 2\Game Files) in the program, but it does not recognize my game. I had no issues with my two "non steam" CMs (CMFI, CMBN). 0 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Sure, The version I am working on includes messaging (that also is compatibility with CM Helper). It should automatically recognize the newer games and get the Steam directories correct without prompting too. There is at least on language translation in the works (likely more) and it integrates with @Ithikial_AU's CM Records spread sheet.  11 hours ago, badipaddress said: As far I could see, the folder that contains .ema files is in my steam folder: D:\Giochi\Steam\steamapps\common\Combat Mission Shock Force 2\Game Files Here you have "incoming" / "outcoming", etc. If I select this folder "Whose turn is it?" does not see my ongoing games. Humm, that is unexpected. If you check the "Override game files directory" and point it to "D:\Giochi\Steam\steamapps\common\Combat Mission Shock Force 2\Game Files" that should work. PM me if that makes no sense and I'll help you get sorted. 2 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I asked Battlefront if it made any difference to their profit whether it was bought on Steam or direct. The answer I got was 'buy on whichever platform you prefer'. Maybe they were just being diplomatic but unless I hear it from the horses mouth I'll assume what you are saying is an urban myth 0 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Correct! That said, we're not going out of our way to advise people where to purchase CM games. People should buy from whichever sales platform they feel is the best fit. Obviously we'd prefer us to be the best fit, but no hard feelings if that's not quite right for someone Steve 0 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Dogukan Posted April 14, 2021 Share Posted April 14, 2021 I am from Turkey so steam had been god-sent for me. Political ups and downs where I live have seriously wrecked TRY against USD, and thankfully steam adjusts the prices geographically. I paid 5 times less than I would for CMSF (no hard feelings please! :P) - Previously I paid a ton of dollars for blacksea which later come out far cheaper on steam. That was a loss on my end Turkey is a huge potential market for the game but people would not consider even looking at the prices with USD tags on it. 2 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Hopefully it puts more money in you'lls pocket. 0 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I haven't even contemplated how to update the post-WW2 version for Cold War. I've been too busy with work/RL to think that far ahead. Good news is I'm due about 14 weeks of annual leave at this point so may tackle it later in the year. This will be well after the title is released however so keep records of your AAR screens and battle conditions separately until then. 0 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

There's no problem pre-purchasing a game here - hence the 41 Club for CMCW. A wallet is useful for a big vendor like Steam with thousands of games, where people buy often and a wallet is more convenient than frequent payments. However BFC is a niche vendor with comparatively few games, so a wallet is not really needed here. 0 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
