BFCElvis Posted September 12, 2023 Share Posted September 12, 2023 · Steam keys will be available to anybody who purchased the game, no matter where they purchased. All users will get steam keys by creating an account with Matrix/Slitherine to redeem a steam key. The reason for this is Matrix already have a process to distribute the keys and Battlefront didn’t and it would have been a lot of work for them to create such as system so it felt simpler to use a system that already works. Sorry for the inconvenience of anyone who needs to create an account because of this. · Once you have an account you can redeem Steam keys in the normal way by following these instructions - https://www.slitherine.com/forum/viewtopic.php?f=58&t=93585 Important: A "Serial" and an "Activation Key" are different expressions for the same thing. · Note that if you bought a bundle from Battlefront you will only have one serial for all the games in the bundle. To redeem all the pieces of your bundle as Steam keys you will need to register that serial for each part of the bundle. E.g. if you purchased the base game and Gustav Line bundle you would register that serial twice, once to the base game and once to the DLC. Each will generate a unique Steam key for that piece of content on Steam and must be redeemed on Steam separately. · When purchasing a bundle on Matrix/Slitherine you will receive a serial for each part separately. · The versions on Matrix, Battlefront and Steam are identical apart from some minor changes to make the game compatible with Steam. Steam requires all the game content to be in the install folder so the placement of some files will be different to the Battlefront version but this is all behind the scenes and the features are identical. Multiplayer is possible between versions. · Customers who buy from Matrix/Slitherine will have access to the Matrix installer and a Steam key. Customers who buy from Battlefront will have access to the Battlefront version and Steam key. Matrix/Slitherine customers will not have access to the Battlefront version and vice versa. · Any Steam key redemption issues should be reported to the Matrix forum, as Battlefront are not able to help with that. · Other tech support should be requested at your point of purchase but both companies will try and help out anyone who has an issue if they can. Obviously any order issues can only be investigated by the site you purchased from as neither company has access to that kind of info for the other. · If you have any questions or problems please let us know and we will do our best to help. 0 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

There is a patch for CMFI (2.20) that was released yesterday (see BFC home page)! I'm surprised it was not announced on the forum! Quote This patch introduces the Slitherine PBEM++ Tournament feature (Windows only) along with other fixes . A release note including the fixes would be appreciated... Anyway I'll wait to download it as I've got a CMFI PBEM ongoing... Edited September 13, 2023 by PEB14 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

kohlenklau Posted September 13, 2023 Share Posted September 13, 2023 I had guessed the next CMFI patch would be 2.12 (2.11 is the current "latest" CMFI version so I added my .01) but it is 2.20. Whatever. 0 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I posted one about a half hour ago. 0 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Shakey.Bridge Posted October 14, 2023 Share Posted October 14, 2023 Hi, Is the Mac OS version available on Steam? or from the Battlefront Download page only. The reason I ask is that the Steam game page only displays the Windows Icon in its requirements list. However the Slitherine game page displays both Mac and Pc. 0 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Ultradave Posted February 26 Share Posted February 26 Steam versions are Windows only. So are Slitherene/Matrix versions as far as I know. The only way to get a Mac version is through Battlefront. Keep in mind that the PBEM++ feature is only available in the Windows versions, not the Mac versions. Other than that, there is no difference. That's no big deal for me, but it might be for others. For Mac, PBEM still works the way it always has. Dave 0 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
