BPCleary Posted February 24, 2000 Share Posted February 24, 2000 Ok, to start off with...I like it. It's damn good, actually. I does everything I hoped the close combat series would do and does it with grace and style. I'm running on my gateway laptop with the AGP Rage Mobility-m, so i don't get to quite take advantage of the graphics to their full extent, but the game is still great fun. Now my problem...I can't get past the 9th turn. I don't mean this as a problem of skill, as in I get creamed before turn 8, but ever time I get to the ninth turn, the thing hangs after the "action" phase. Anyone got any ideas? Any patches I could get or some such? Thanks Brian P. Cleary Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Guest hunt52 Posted February 24, 2000 Share Posted February 24, 2000 What scenario are you playing? If it is Last defense something happens on turn 10 that requires files not previously required by the game (*not a spoiler!*) You might try reinstalling the game as some of these resources or files might be corrupted. - Bill Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
BPCleary Posted February 24, 2000 Author Share Posted February 24, 2000 It happens on last defense and...err...Riesberg <I think that's the other name, or something similar> Should I try to redownload the demo? Btw, what version should I have of the demo, I'm starting to think I've got an out of date version. Thanks for the hasty reply Brian P.

BPCleary Posted February 24, 2000 Author Share Posted February 24, 2000 woops, I put something in brackets in the last message, didn't realize HTML was on Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Guest Madmatt Posted February 24, 2000 Share Posted February 24, 2000 There is only one version of the demo! Whatever you have IS the current version, its that simple... No patches for it either although there is a third downloadable scenario called Chance Encounter that you can grab from the battlefront Combat Mission page...

BPCleary Posted February 24, 2000 Author Share Posted February 24, 2000 Hmm...got that...oh well...I was doing good too...my GI's were about to flatten reisberg, and they were holding pretty solid in last defense. Oh well. Thanks for the help, hope the full <and working version> comes out soon Brian P. Cleary P.S.

L.Tankersley Posted February 24, 2000 Share Posted February 24, 2000 BPCleary, I think the problem you might be seeing is due to the appearance of reinforcements. I seem to recall some people reporting the game "hanging" when reinforcements arrived, when what was really happening was the dialog box that informed them of their appearance wasn't visible for some reason and so the game appeared to be locked-up. I think one workaround was to kind of click the mouse around the general area of the center of the screen in hopes of hitting the invisible 'ok' button. I suspect there was some driver issue that was the ultimate root problem but I don't remember now. You might try doing a search here on the forum for something like "freeze" or "hang," looking for topics that came out around the time of the demo (late November). ------------------ Leland J.

BPCleary Posted February 24, 2000 Author Share Posted February 24, 2000 Sounds like a plan to me, I'll give it a go...thanks Brian P. Cleary Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
BPCleary Posted February 24, 2000 Author Share Posted February 24, 2000 Hey, that actually worked....thanks a bunch man...as long as I can just get past that in both missions, it shouldn't be a problem again. Weird bug...I love beta testing Brian P. Cleary Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Guest hunt52 Posted February 24, 2000 Share Posted February 24, 2000 Actually Brian, we aren't beta testing... we are playing about build 15 while the current build is fifty something (54?) We are playing a public beta for fun because Steve are Charles are really nice. From the screenshots at combathq.thegamers.net the current beta must be incredible...

Fionn Posted February 25, 2000 Share Posted February 25, 2000 I think your build is actually 13. We're in the high fifties now . I think the best way to put it is that the AI was put in about 4 builds before you got the beta demo and now it's umm 40some builds later. As you can imagine the game has come on a lot since then Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
