A Canadian Cat Posted September 8, 2023 Share Posted September 8, 2023 You have to activate (via license key) the various modules and packs. The installer brings in everything even stuff you haven't bought yet. They greyed out stuff is things that the game thinks you have not purchased yet. To activate everything you purchased you need to enter the keys you received. There is a link that was installed called something like "Activate keys". I'm not in front of my gaming computer but it should be find-able. Run it as many times as you have keys to enter and it will get you sorted. 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Vacillator Posted September 8, 2023 Share Posted September 8, 2023 What Ian said . This also applies to the Battle Pack which we were discussing elsewhere. Purchase, get the email and then activate is how it works for BFC purchases. I haven't tried Steam purchases for CM yet but it should be similar? Welcome to Red Thunder by the way, an excellent choice . I do see that you've been around a lot longer though... 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
MikeyD Posted September 8, 2023 Share Posted September 8, 2023 (edited) BFC, for several years now, has only offered 'full' downloads. Which means if you purchase the basegame any extra modules, vehicle packs or scenario packs will be included but they're greyed out until you buy an access key. For CMRT this also includes getting access to fall, winter and spring timeframe and the Germany region.

DaGMan Posted September 9, 2023 Author Share Posted September 9, 2023 I see the different downloads, a lil to steep for e "right now" but they will stay in the back of my head to purchase eventually trust me, gotta learn the basics with the base game first 0 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Vacillator Posted September 9, 2023 Share Posted September 9, 2023 There's a text file in the main game/Data folder where you can edit different hotkey setups. If you feel the need of course. I never have but I know my friend @Artkin has . 0 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I use the default hotkeys and I'm very used to them. @Artkin may have some that work better. He should upload his hotkey file. Then you can compare the 2 and see if one works better for you than another. It may get confusing to you, as a new player, to hear a suggestion to change your hotkeys without a suggestion of what to alter them to. 0 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I should add an assault key but I rarely use it anyway, and by now it would be tough/weird to break my habits. hotkeys.txt 0 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

chuckdyke Posted September 12, 2023 Share Posted September 12, 2023 I think there is a difference between the Steam version and Battlefront. In Steam the F12 key is a screen shot and Battlefront brings you back to the previous unit. I don't know of anymore differences. 0 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

That would probably just be the Steam overlay overriding the CM's default key bindings. Should be able to rebind the keys in either program. 0 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Hmmm, the usual conundrum - do I take advantage of the opportunity to acquire a full modern bundle with all content (manually made up of course as it doesn't exist as one item)? The prices are tempting that's for sure... 0 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
