Common reasons are borked install, and anti-virus interference. 0 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Common reasons are borked install, and anti-virus interference. I always by from BFC. Yes tried running as administrator. This is the wrong forum but CMBN ran fine until I installed the last patch. CMCW never has ran on this laptop. CMBS runs great on it. CMSF2 with all modules runs great on it. CMRT with F@R and battle pack runs great on it. CMCW will not launch. CMBN ran great until last week when I installed the new patch. Before you ask, yes a help ticket was submitted for CW back in December and another recently, and a ticket has been summitted for CMBN as well. 0 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Erwin Posted March 5, 2023 Share Posted March 5, 2023 It's an obvious idea, but just in case... make sure you have something plugged into your machines audio output socket. For some reason CM games do not start without that. 0 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I’ve tagged @BFCElvisas he might not be aware or have a possible solution to the issues you describe. 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Erwin Posted March 6, 2023 Share Posted March 6, 2023 Re not getting CMSF2 to run... After installing the latest patch, the game ran but there was a problem in that I could not issue any orders to any units - so some bug had been introduced. I simply uninstalled and reinstalled using the Full Installer - so all runs fine now. The odd thing was that I did not have to re-enter any activation codes. 0 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
OnePingOnly Posted March 8, 2023 Share Posted March 8, 2023 I believe Shady and I have the same problem. I just updated to CMSF2 2.06, and now the game won't launch. I get the blue spinning for just a second, then...nothing. This is the same problem I had with CMCW 2.05. After installing that patch, the game stopped working in the same way. I am running CMBN, CMFI, CMBS, CMRT without the latest patches, and all work fine. I surmise there is something in the coding for the PBEM system that is not compatible with my install (running up-to-date Win 10 on a Mac). Yes, I put in a ticket for the original CMCW issue....a year ago (no resolution). Yes, I will put in a ticket for this issue. This is very frustrating that I can't get updates and keep PBEMs with my friends. 0 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
ALBY Posted March 9, 2023 Share Posted March 9, 2023 Sorry to hear this OPO. Your CW tourney was the most fun I’ve ever had in CM. We have been trying to get shady’s CMCW fixed since December! We have spent hours troubleshooting and scouring his drive for conflicts and reinstalling CMCW. BFC Elvis has been helping him lately and I’m in for an update here. 0 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
OnePingOnly Posted March 26, 2023 Share Posted March 26, 2023 I haven't heard back from BFC support since March 9, despite asking for other things to try. Maybe the problem is not solvable. I've asked multiple times before and since March 9 for a link to download the prior version so I can at least play the game solo. @BFCElvis can you help me out with this? 0 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
jatmi026 Posted March 26, 2023 Share Posted March 26, 2023 If you get a black screen when trying to run the game, all you have to do is keep launching it untill it starts, this is what I found to work for me. 0 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
StoneAge Posted April 5, 2023 Share Posted April 5, 2023 I am having the same issue as OnePingOnly. When I click the desktop icon I get a blue spinning circle for a few seconds then nothing. Have reinstalled both CMSF2 and CMBN and both do it now 0 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Artkin Posted April 7, 2023 Share Posted April 7, 2023 (edited) Try clicking the desktop icon fast until it starts as if you were frustrated. I ran into the same issue and I brute forced my way through it. Edited April 7, 2023 by Artkin 0 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I've tried doing a complete uninstall and reinstall, to include deleting all CMCW folders from my drive and still when I reinstalled the game I also got a few seconds of the Windows spinning circle and then nothing. 0 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

And we are now starting a CMBS match at the latest version without a problem so far.
