Hunter Posted August 6, 2000 Share Posted August 6, 2000 BTS, Sorry I couldn't find reference to this by searching but it probably has already been reported? 1. In 1.03, QuickBattle, my VCR controls sometimes go screwy. When moving through the 1 minute turn, if I hit advance or back I can then only get the turn at the :00 time or the :60 time, nothing in-between. 2. Last night, something even odder happened. I played the turn and hit fast forward. The thing moved to the end of turn and I saw that one of my Schreck teams had knocked out an advancing sherman. Nice. Through some combination of rewinds, I managed to start the turn again and got a completely different result! At the end of the turn, the shermans had fired at my schreck team and killed it, never advancing to the same spot. 3. I also started to get strange times in the area reserved for the second count. A 5-6 digit number appears rather than the normal 2 digit timer, and I am able to keep fast forwarding for a very large number of times. Their troops can keep advancing until they have completely gone past my own defensive lines. So is this already known and fixed; Can I help to fix it; Have I just got a bad batch ?

Guest Big Time Software Posted August 7, 2000 Share Posted August 7, 2000 Bizarre... Did this just happen the one time or does it recur? Was it a 1-player game or hotseat or play by email? Charles 0 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Hunter Posted August 7, 2000 Author Share Posted August 7, 2000 1 player quick battle against the AI. 1. and 3. are very reproduceable ( I wish they were not). 2 I can try for! 0 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Guest Big Time Software Posted August 7, 2000 Share Posted August 7, 2000 How much memory (RAM) does your computer have? I wonder if you're running out. Charles 0 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Guest Big Time Software Posted August 9, 2000 Share Posted August 9, 2000 OK, noted. Sorry I'm not sure what to tell you. This is a new one I've never seen before. Charles 0 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
steph Posted August 9, 2000 Share Posted August 9, 2000 I posted about the very same problem a few weeks ago. I found the problem on my system. Hopefully this will help you. I have a celeron 300a which was overclocked to 374Mhz. I played all kind of games at that rate and never had problem. I even played the Beta demo of CM without any problem. As soon as I installed the released version, the VCR started acting exactly like you mentioned. I put back the processor at the normal speed (no overclocking) and everything has been running smooth as silk since then. Then again you might have a different problem. Let me know if it works. steph 0 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Hunter Posted August 9, 2000 Author Share Posted August 9, 2000 Steph, Interesting piece of data, thanks. I'm not overclocking but obviously this is a reasonably fast chipset. I wonder how many people are playing with systems this fast, and whether there is any possibility that we are violating some timing "considerations" in code?

tar Posted August 10, 2000 Share Posted August 10, 2000 I have seen this also on a Macintosh (beige Power Macintosh G3, desktop -- not tower). It seemed to go away after downloading newer video drivers for the system. 0 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Ben Galanti Posted August 10, 2000 Share Posted August 10, 2000 I had a similar experience on a beige G3 also. I made a post about it a while back. www.battlefront.com/discuss/Forum8/HTML/000147.html I ended up with living dead soldiers and whatnot... A restart cured it for me though. 0 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Hunter Posted August 11, 2000 Author Share Posted August 11, 2000 Ben, BTS, A close down and restart cured it for me tonight. I will post again if it re-occurs. Bruce 0 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
