Scott Adams Posted February 9, 2001 Share Posted February 9, 2001 BUMP! Again Regarding that 1.1 to 1.12 PBEM compatibility issue. ------------------ Scott Adams Not Dilbert, Adventure! www.msadams.com msadams@msadams.com Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

If your concerned about compatability with 1.1 games your playing with ver1.12, then before applying the patch, rename the Combat Mission.exe file to something like CombatMission1-1.exe. You can then apply the patch to upgrade to 1.12. Just run 1-1 to play any games you have started already. I would recommend doing that instead of taking the chance there MIGHT be a upgrade bug.

-Havermeyer- Posted February 9, 2001 Share Posted February 9, 2001 I have never been able to get the scroll from the church. Has this been fixed? I can't get the Stuart to defeat the JagdTiger without it (or so I've been told). Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Juardis Posted February 9, 2001 Share Posted February 9, 2001 I guess I should warn you that all smiley's in Havermeyers posts have been suppressed, broken, and routed by the inane anal retentiveness that sometimes permeates this board. Hence, stoking the fires of an inane stupid criticism (i.e., pro-anything bias) without the aid of the routed smiley's Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Better yet, use the 1-1 version of the .exe file for games you are winning, and the 1-12 version for those you are losing...then hope for the bug!

jd Posted February 9, 2001 Share Posted February 9, 2001 About compatability, I had opportunity to try out the beta 1.12 patch just prior to release, went back and forth between 1.1 and 1.12 pbem games with NO problems. It tweaks mechanics abit but not the basic function. Games started in 1.1 then played awhile in 1.12 still continue to play in 1.1. End of story. ------------------ If frogs had uzi's, snakes woudn't mess with them so much. - Hiram Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

M. Bates Posted February 9, 2001 Share Posted February 9, 2001 Points values for combined arms Axis are still screwed... Will an operation started in 1.1 be transferable to 1.2?. It's not a major issue since CM is already at an advanced state with 1.1, but I would like to know. ------------------ Rugged Defense England Team Website: http://combatmission.portland.co.uk For all our AARs ------------------ "I drive over farmyard animals in my farmyard tractor, then I laugh afterwards."--CavScout [comp.sys.ibm.pc.games.war-historical] Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

JPS Posted February 9, 2001 Share Posted February 9, 2001 Thanks BTS! How about if all who pre-order CM2 right now could participate in beta testing also? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Windopaene Posted February 9, 2001 Share Posted February 9, 2001 So when the 26th rolls around, and I can finally order a copy of CM, will it be this final 1.12 version, or will I still need to patch it? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Phoenix Posted February 9, 2001 Share Posted February 9, 2001 As to the PBEM in progress on 1.1 It's not different than before. You save the game you have going. "ALT-S" Call it whatever you want. Install 1.12 Open saved game in new version, select PBEM and off you go. Been like this for all the patches. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Stoffel Posted February 10, 2001 Share Posted February 10, 2001 Killing a target while driving is more difficult. great Spotting bunkers far away more difficult. great Hitting bunkers from great distance more difficult great! Here the turn a sherman 105 came racing down the road(my 75mm bunker is in hide) it turns his turret in the direction of the bunker .....one shot ,one kill. damn did I read something wrong or is this just a great unlucky roll of the cm dice Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Von Fauster Posted February 10, 2001 Share Posted February 10, 2001 Thanks BTS! Your product support is the best in the business- bar none. Because of this, and the outstanding game, Combat Mission has earned the coveted distinction of being the longest program to remain on my hard drive, save the operating system. Great work. Put me down for one advanced order of CM2! Hell, CM3 and 4 for that matter.

Eric Alkema Posted February 10, 2001 Share Posted February 10, 2001 Sigh, I was hoping that the full game replay would make it. (That's right thire is no pleasing some people) Here's hoping it gets built into CM2. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

That has not been necessary for the latest patches, including the beta patches. Just open the PBEM in the new version. It will complain if it can't open it, but it won't complain.
