CMFB v2.11 patch is now available


Recommended Posts

I have the Steam 2.10 version.  I tried logging in this morning to PBEM+ for the tournament and the red error box says I need 2.11.  How do I get Steam to update to 2.11?  It does not appear to be doing so automatically though the game is set up for automatic Steam updates.  Based on the two posts above it seems like 2.11 is now on Steam.

If it comes down to it should I just uninstall and reinstall the game via Steam?

Hi Andrew, mine did update automatically.  Have you had another look, maybe it wasn't ready the first time?

I am going to create a link on our patches page for the updated scenarios and the new one. 

Thanks. I didn't check my CMFB scenarios folder before leaving for work. But I have the Steam version, so I probably don't have it if no one else who got the Steam update has it. I might regret going straight for the Steam version, rather than buying on BFC and redeeming on Slitherine for a Steam key.

No.  Now seeing Steam Cloud Error and it still shows 2.10.  When I click on game in Steam menu it does show 100% but then the error message pops up.

I might take a chance and uninstall game and try reinstalling a bit later today if it does not resolve itself in meantime.

UPDATE:

Continued to have issues after uninstalling.  Steam said I had no internet which was false.  Shut down PC and turned it back on again.  Problem resolved.

This was 100% "end user error" on my part.  I own this one, not Slitherine, not Steam, not Charles. Me.  It will likely be like this until the next time a CMFB patch is made.

Fortunately, this does not affect gameplay at all. What it affects is 4 scenarios that had some minor changes made (the original versions are still in the Steam release) and the addition of 1 new battle. 

The Pacthes page not contains the scenarios:

Well said John, such things happen.

Observations on Steam edition CMFB TO&E Omissions/errors v2.11


1) It seems that all Panzer Grenadier squad type formations in the CMFB steam edition have only one MG42 instead of the normal two. The slot for the first MG42 is labelled as 'gunner' but is always equipped with a Kar 98k.

2) There appears to be a zero chance for any of the axis troops in a battalion to be equipped with an MP44 except the sturm type units and possibly the fallschirmjager where I have seen. to date, only a max of one per company which seems a little light. This is also the case for the CMRT and CMFI steam editions. I have a non steam edition of CMBN where it all seems ok - is it just steam versions that have this MP44 issue?

3) There is only the option for a LMG 34 specialist team for the German Army & Volksgrenadier  Infantry and German Army & Waffen SS Armoured Infantry- no LMG 42 option is available.

4) All Panzer Battalions except the Heavy Battalion are missing the support company.

5) The US 57mm A/T gun has 8 rounds of APDS which was not manufactured by the Americans and was obtained from the British. In contrast the British 6pdr has only 1 or 2 APDS per gun - should this probably be the other way around? This also seems to be the case for CMBN & CMFI as well (steam and non steam editions).

Regarding 2), this was changed in the latest patches for all the WW2 games. I think this is for historical reasons, since Germans tended to concentrate MP44s in Sturm units. That said, probably "Sturm" variants should be made available to more unit types (think Fallschirmjäger Sturm, Panzergrenadier Sturm) since these units did receive MP44s and it is plausible that they also formed these units.

The M44 uniform variant for the Germans is missing from the near-end of war "Standard" appearance for Wehrmacht and Waffen-SS

Here is a pic of it in CMRT :

It is frankly astonishing how much stuff was not ported over from the other games with 1945 end dates. Trust me I am glad that the release was made but this makes it seem like this expansion was rushed out with low QA. And for what should be the magnum opus of the late WW2 modules no less.

The new formations added need a do-over to get them consistent with the other games in my opinion.

I am trying to install the latest 2.11 patch.  When I try to install I get this error message "C:\users\Jeff\appdata\local\temp\7O05D9...\*brz does not exist".   Skipping that file was not recommended.   What's the fix???

Try using a different program to extract the download. I use a free one called Bandizip.

100 percent agree. It seems like an obvious oversight to us the consumer but I'm sure there is a rhyme and a reason; yours probably being the correct one
