howdy campers, is there a known issue with Combat mission failing to load just hanging at an immediate black screen (I have to force quit it) .  oddly, this happened on a very weak laptop install I tried, then I moved here to a i5 7thGen.... with :

Sounds like an installation problem to me, assuming your graphics devices/drivers are okay.  @BFCElvis is the man to sort you out.

Graphics drivers are ok, unless the video card (integrated) is an outlier that cannot support opengl?  But I dont think so..  

I should redownload all the packages.... start again.. hmmm....

 

thx

Mmmm, integrated may struggle, not sure about the black hanging screen though.  Did you have integrated in both machines?  What type are they?

I would await @BFCElvis - he will probably ask you what extraction tool you used for the download and go from there...

Thanks, John @BFCElvis, you let us a smile !

Hi JM (and John).  So why is this a problem for some but not others?  Is it older machines/installations?

... Gather, friends... for the little comment "must be install" led me to redownload fresh (per Johns sequence) and reinstall... and now it's all good.

Thanks for the little comment.

You can have what appears to be successful install and activation with a partially downloaded install packaged = the lesson I've learned here, a counter intuitive to experience lesson, but clearly true in some cases.
