Schrullenhaft Posted November 20, 2023 Share Posted November 20, 2023 Are they all on the latest patch (CMBN, CMFI and CMFB) ? The PBEM+++ system that gets installed with the latest patches apparently requires some Visual C++ Redistributable libraries to be installed. If all of three of these games are on the latest patch, then they all should be requiring this software. So it is a bit mystifying if only CMBN is having a problem. Visual Studio 2015, 2017, 2019 and 2022 C++ Redistributable - X86 & X64 installers I believe that the PBEM+++ feature requires the X86 version, but to be safe, I suggest installing both X86 and X64 versions ('Visual Studio 2015, 2017, 2019 and 2022'). 0 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Did you use the full installers, and accept the default locations? I used them recently but told them where to install - however, the result was that my Battlefront folder has a Combat Mission sub-folder with every WW2 except CMBN, while CMBN has it's own sub-folder. It's just a thought. If that doesn't help I think you will need the one who helped me - @BFCElvis. I think that it was always different to the other titles on my old machine with it's own sub-folder. And "yes" I accepted the default locations. If I can't sort it tomorrow I will certainly call on Declan's help. 0 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Good luck my friend and let us know how it's going... 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Good luck my friend and let us know how it's going... Declan and I batted a few ideas around. Then given the fact that I am a complete duffer when it comes to these new fangled mechanical typewriter whatsits, he provided me with a link to the Microsoft C ++ (x86) thingamybob, which worked. I just have to cobble together some new music mods as I lost all the ones that I created some years back when my old PC died. 2 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Wartime Posted December 7, 2023 Share Posted December 7, 2023 (edited) A friend of mine is going to reinstall CMBN after a number of years. I currently have 4.03 installed. If he were to fully install 4.04, are the games files compatible or would I also have to update to 4.04? After reading all of above, I'm hesitant to update further. I also have a series of games in play and would rather not lose them and start over. Thanks for any help! Disregard. I did a search and found they are not compatible AND I can install both versions separately and play either.
