I don't have the same pictures, only the typical russians uniforms, but will be very nice to have this camo.

So it no doubt came from Slitherine (how, by using a mod or fiddling with the picture? I don't know) and transferred across to Steam. having said that I haven't tested the actual Steam version of the game much yet, as I'm happy using the BFC one in which I have all of the after-market mods, user made battles and campaigns. I'll replicate them in the Steam file structure at some point. 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Vacillator Posted January 18 Share Posted January 18 Although looking again, the Copyright 2023 Battlefront caption suggests it may have come from BFC? 0 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I believe that copyright is referring to the game not the image itself. Slitherine does not restrict themselves to in game only pictures the way BFC does. I have no memory for what uniforms may or may not be in there but I am very sure those soldiers' positions riding on the tank are not the animations included in the game. So, I predict that is Slitherine doctored or entirely made up image. 0 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I had also wondered whether someone didn't actually know Red Thunder was WW2, but I may be going too far there. EDIT: I hope your Canadian cat is still with us? I have a British cat who looks very similar and he's fast asleep next to me after a night out last night at -5C.

This image doesn't reflect anything of the real Red Thunder that we know, the uniforms, the grounds, the grass, are not the same and the position of the tank riders, this view is much better as the original but is not real, this, should not be allowed, and this is a bad publicity, I think, customers have to have the correct view from what they buy. I try to buy my games directly from BFC and so far I'm happy with the original version, (even when some are a little more expensive than the other versions), but that's another story.

I laugh at your description, not your predicament. I also experienced a similar thing last year when some stray liquid (coughs and ) may have somehow found its way inside my laptop. I'll blame the cat, but that's a little unfair. Cutting to the sad end of the story, I had a hard disk which only occasionally let me look inside it's wonderful contents and copy some out. And then it decided enough was enough. But life goes on... 0 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

But life goes on... it seems trivial but when it's lost it's lost, you pull out the only hair (which you have left over the years) but nothing helps he sulks forever no matter how much you stroke it in the direction of the hair, he laughs of your emotions, now it's him who chuckles, slowly taking the path reserved for him, that of the trash can which will henceforth be his only friend but, you still have a doubt,... and if only... I could resuscitate him ?...to be continued... l espoir fait vivre !! and if you don't succeed, you replay the music that's stuck in your head untill you have another HD !!

That was exactly my experience, and for a while I managed 'conversation' and retrieval of useful things. But then darkness descended, so to speak. For what it's worth, setting up all of the CM WW2 titles again was relatively easy if that is the concern, although John (Elvis at BFC) did help me from his golf course on a Friday night . 0 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

The problem is not to reinstall and reconfigure everything I need can already be found on the web, my keys and all the installation files everything is on the BFC home page,just push download and wait, ok and wait and wait...so this that's not the problem, no the problem is the numerous tests and mods that I had the idea of finishing and placing in a safe place on the CMMODs of countless information that I had collected over so many years, of the minutes of sweat that I wiped with my tissue, the hours that I left before the day dawned and before realizing that it was already very dark for the few minutes that I sat at the computer, time flies so quickly when you are in the front of a screen...which makes me think now of saving a copy in the clouds, but it is very late now to think about it, it will teach me to stay in the clouds and not see the storm coming... 0 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

You still have the HD, so could its contents be rescued by a 'professional'?

I was trying myself but for the time the computer dont reconized it, otherwises I could format it full and see what I can recover...for the time he give me a hard head but I keep it and search on the net, perhaps searching how make a bootable disk when "apparently there is no disk on the computer" when I disconect my usual C drive and try to boot only with the MotherF...I wll make some test I have already my tools bootable disk and repair sector like hdd regenerator, nothing is secure but I think this is worth of a simple try... !! 0 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
