patboivin Posted January 10, 2001 Share Posted January 10, 2001 FYI, I installed the 1.1 beta mod, and sometimes the game just disappears on me. I don't remember this happening while running without the beta mod, or on the original version I got on the CD. Usually this is when I am playing on huge maps, I suspect it has something to do with lack of memory. Windows95, 64M RAM, unknown video card, Pentium Pro no less. NEC Versa LX laptop. I think it's about 2-3 years old. I installed almost every hi-res mod I could find. Needless to say, by now the sound is sometimes choppy and it takes the computer a while to show me what's going on, but I made a conscious decision to install those mods. You know -- I have to support all those mod makers out there. 0 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Nitsud42 Posted January 10, 2001 Share Posted January 10, 2001 I too have noticed this when I attempt to jump out of a game to check mail (or do work....), CM is just gone! Unless you are at one of the menus (either main menu or the email/tcp menu) the game is gone! 0 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Guest Madmatt Posted January 10, 2001 Share Posted January 10, 2001 What version are you guys seeing this in? Such behavior is common in the Public beta patches and if you are still using those you need to upgrade to the official v1.1 patch which was released early thins morning.

patboivin Posted January 11, 2001 Author Share Posted January 11, 2001 Thanks MadMatt. Can we upgrade to the production version of the 1.1 patch if we started a game with the beta version of that patch? 0 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
patboivin Posted January 11, 2001 Author Share Posted January 11, 2001 Another thing I noticed is if I try to delete an old PBEM file from the File Dialog Box that opens when you click on the Comm. button on the startup screen, the game minimizes itself instead of staying open in the background. That could be memory-related though, I don't know. 0 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Beckman Posted January 12, 2001 Share Posted January 12, 2001 I have the same problem. I can not load a game. I ahev the "official" 1.1 patch. My friend connects, the data transfers then he watches the movie and I lock up. If I hit ANY key, CM disappears. 0 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Guest Madmatt Posted January 12, 2001 Share Posted January 12, 2001 Is your friend running the new *official* patch as well? When the game locks on your end, what does you friend see? This only occurs in TCP/IP games? Matt [This message has been edited by Madmatt (edited 01-12-2001).] 0 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Beckman Posted January 13, 2001 Share Posted January 13, 2001 Yes he has the "official" as well. We talked as it was happening. I will "host" although he has the faster pc. I host, he comes in, we finish orders, his PC builds movie, "data trasnfer progress" or something, a rectangular box fills on my end and I lock when it fills up. As I lock he can play the movie and click DONE and go to orders while I am still waiting to play the movie. The box does not lock up but the game does in terms of there is nothing I can do.

Guest Madmatt Posted January 13, 2001 Share Posted January 13, 2001 Ok, I saw this same thing with b24 once but couldn't ever replicate it. Can you send me an autosave and passwords for both sides please? If you still have the old Bug Report for go ahead and use that and fill it out. v1.1 wont make an errorlog but thats ok, i just need the save file. Thanks!

Beckman Posted January 13, 2001 Share Posted January 13, 2001 Sure I will send a file, but to where? Too bad on the errlog. At work our FoxPro produces an serrlog that I use to help the users if the program erros out, which sadly is often, we are moving from ancient FoxPro to newer 6.x FoxPro. Anyway I dont' have that bug report form either, unless you count the one at work 0 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Beckman Posted January 13, 2001 Share Posted January 13, 2001 PS I know he had an older build before the 1.1 came out. Also, the game is playable with PBEM. PPS The game is totally awesome btw, my wife hates you guys, just kidding! 0 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
