Battlefront.com Posted August 25, 2007 Author Share Posted August 25, 2007 Yup, we will make a v1.03 demo and make some "waves" about it. We quietly slipped v1.02 out because we knew that v1.03 is the one people are really looking for. You can only grab people's attention so many times Steve 0 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Battlefront.com Posted August 25, 2007 Author Share Posted August 25, 2007 I checked out the thread (sorry for missing it before!) and I really don't know what to suggest. We haven't done anything specifically to fix this because it looks like only two people have this problem after using one or another fix. There is one thing, though, that might help. When you get v1.03 change the Priority to "Normal" instead of the default "High". This is in the Options screen. Steve 0 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

kipanderson Posted August 25, 2007 Share Posted August 25, 2007 Steve, Sounds great to me… LOS, path finding and stuck units were the big issues for me, so I could not be happier. Because of the above issues I have been spending most of my time playing with the editor. Now I look forward to sustained mass slaughter . All good fun, All the best, Kip. 0 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
panzermartin Posted August 25, 2007 Share Posted August 25, 2007 Thats great news thanks a lot! I'm particulary happy about the LOS problems. Hope you managed to solve the shooting through ground too. 0 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Darkmath Posted August 25, 2007 Share Posted August 25, 2007 A few questions : "* Changes to the way terrain is drawn to offer better look and speed options, depending on settings" Does this mean the user can have a better LOD option? If so, it sounds great. Among the small issues fixed in 1.03, is the pausing issue (that is pausing order on waypoint that isn't followed) solved? 0 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
wolf66 Posted August 25, 2007 Share Posted August 25, 2007 I'm really thankful for every issue resolved with 1.03, but that Syrian Tanks HE firing problem, the missing Tac AI self preservation and the very sparse automatic engaging of known threats are really nerve wrecking too ....... do we have to wait for these issues to be solved ? Great to hear that show all moves is in !! And how about show all target lines/show target line if units automatically engage enemy ? Possible ? 0 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Aloko Mac Posted August 25, 2007 Share Posted August 25, 2007 Thanks for the massive effort put into thoses patches.

In fact, TacAI self preservation has been improved in 1.02. The units react to incoming fire but too slowly, still. 0 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Other Means Posted August 25, 2007 Share Posted August 25, 2007 Originally posted by Battlefront.com: --snip-- Other Means, Er... what specifically do you mean? Steve Steve, I still have to set the Affinity to one or the other processor when the game is running, otherwise it does strange re-draws all the time. I've got this chip: http://www.dabs.com/productview.aspx?QuickLinx=4MM7 and this Vid card: http://www.dabs.com/productview.aspx?QuickLinx=4FNQ This mobo: http://www.dabs.com/productview.aspx?QuickLinx=451B And this RAM (just for completeness): http://www.dabs.com/productview.aspx?QuickLinx=4KZC Running XPsp2. 0 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

kipanderson Posted August 25, 2007 Share Posted August 25, 2007 Hi, “I’m really convinced that we have a gem in this game engine and the game breakers are ironed out as days go by.” Exactly…could not agree more . Do sympathize with those who seem to dislike the CMX2 engine in that their hobby has taken a big knock, but I do not “understand their dislike of the engine”. When it comes to RT which some seem to dislike so much… when playing the computer just use Pause as often as you wish, every 30 seconds it you want. When it comes to RT in live human v human play Steve has said some form of Pause/Timeout feature will be added. Anyway…each to their own . I got my hard copy of the manual today… Wow… this game has depth… once the bugs are gone and not hitting people in the face anymore they will come to notice the huge improvements in CMX2 over CMX1. All great stuff, All the best, Kip. 0 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Battlefront.com Posted August 25, 2007 Author Share Posted August 25, 2007 Some quick responses. 1. There is a reason the Syrian vehicles fire HE when they do... it's because their limited quantity armor piercing stuff doesn't have a chance of penetrating, so HE is actually the better thing to shoot. It is more plentiful and has a better chance of a mobility kill, turret jam, sensor kill, etc. In effect, the HE firing thing is not a bug, it is the better thing for the vehicles to be doing. Having said that, there is a case to make that the poor training and heat of the battle would make them fire AP instead of HE. The result will be less effective results, not greater. So be careful for what you wish for 2. TacAI stuff has been tweaked and a fix or two made. I can't say for sure what the end result will be compared to v1.02, however we exepct to be tweaking the TacAI for the next TWO YEARS 3. Charles is migrating the code over to a dual processor computer this week and hopefully he will be able to make the code a lot happier with multi-processors. This means v1.04 should be the one to solve a host of niggly issues that some people, like Other Means, have to manually work around. 4. Artillery adjustment is one of those things that is now fixed which wasn't specifically mentioned in my opening post. Steve 0 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Other Means Posted August 25, 2007 Share Posted August 25, 2007 Cool - thanks Steve. I can live with setting the affinity for now but it'd be nice to be able to get the max out of the system. I bought it for SF after all 0 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
thewood Posted August 25, 2007 Share Posted August 25, 2007 Doesn't the AT11 have a chance on an M1? I have rarely (VERY) seen this fired. btw, I have not seen low or high experience troops fire an AT round at an M1. Is it stated as SOP that you fire HE at an M1. I would think if that was the case crews, no matter the experience would flooring it in reverse for some kind of cover. 0 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

So be careful for what you wish for Steve Sorry Steve, but that doesn't cut it, because I did, like someone here suggested in another thread, get rid of all the HE for the Syrian tanks in "Allahs Fist" in the first turns with area fire and so they only had the AP ammo left - when the M1s came, my Syrian tanks did way better than in the first tries when they fired their ammo ..... I'm sorry but this behaviour just kills any scenarios with tanks on the syrian side when up against M1s ..... 0 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Sotoro Posted August 26, 2007 Share Posted August 26, 2007 Is there any chance that we'll see a last minute fix for nvidia 8800 users in 1.03 or have we to wait until 1.04? 0 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I have completed this scenario in my second attempt playing as Syrian with a total victory, all US vehicels destroyed, and with difficulty set to elite. With all respect, but I think the problem is on your side. 0 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
