WimO Posted July 19, 2023 Share Posted July 19, 2023 (edited) Since I upgraded CMBN to game engine v4.04 I have not been able to shoot or pop smoke in any manner. This bug occurs only in my original Battlefront installation and not with my second, Steam installation. The problem with the Battlefront installation occurs both with and without mods installed in Data/Z. Steam version works normally both with and without mods installed in Data/Z. So what is the difference between my Steam v4.04 and my Battlefront direct v4.04? The Steam version is an all-in-one single installation whereas my Battlefront direct version has been patched to v4.04. Hypothesis: I guess that there is a problem with the patching process. My remote playing partner who also has a Battlefront direct installation patched to v4.04 is having the same problem. Any suggestions?

kohlenklau Posted July 19, 2023 Share Posted July 19, 2023 I always first ask if you might have smoke turned off visually? What is that? Alt-K? Forgive me if you say, of course not! Is it that the purple pop smoke button is not there for certain teams/squads or you press it and nothing happens? Do you see smoke rounds available in a tank? Wow, what a hassle. Everybody is anti-smoking nowadays, but this is ridiculous! 0 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
PEB14 Posted July 19, 2023 Share Posted July 19, 2023 I'm playing with the latest CMBN game engine and I'm able to "pop" smoke both with squads and vehicles (though never in the place I would like to ), and to "fire" smoke, both with artillery, light mortars and tanks… (I don't use Steam, all my CM games are Battlefront installations…) 0 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
WimO Posted July 19, 2023 Author Share Posted July 19, 2023 I'M SOOOOO STUPID! ALT-K??? I never noticed. Wasn't aware. That fixes it. Thank you thank you thank you. 2 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
A Canadian Cat Posted July 19, 2023 Share Posted July 19, 2023 LOL lots of people have made such a post before. Me included. I usually have a chuckle because I remember how embarrassed I was. I try to always toggle smoke off for very limited time periods because if you forget the only indicator is bad things happening and you don't know why. 0 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

But sometimes they don't pop, generally they pop away from the target, and,… sometimes… they pop at the right position! 0 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
