Small Problem

[S.Sgt. Havilandt]

Ok, trying to make a long story short.

A friend of mine just got CMBB and just started playing some PBEM games so he didn't patch right away. The other night he called me and asked if I would play, I had version 1.01 so I knew I had to revert back to the old one. Simple enough, I ran the installer again and let it overwrite my newer version. We were able to play a TCP/Ip game without a problem.

Then I tried to extract some zip files into my scenario folder. No luck! They won't show on the screen, and when I look in the folders themselves, say the scenario one, I see the title but can't access it. I have tried to extract to both the saved games folder and the scenario folder with no luck.

So, I deleted everything this time and started over from scratch, installing the game as if I had just purchased it. Wouldn't you know it, I still have the same problem! I am unable to extract zip files/scenarios into my folder! What am I doing wrong? I have never had this problem before.

Any help would be welcomed, and thank you in advance.

I'm not sure of the scenario compatibility between 1.0 and 1.01. In the past CMBO wouldn't show newer scenarios (I assume because of file format changes) - either properly or not at all.

So are you running 1.01 or 1.0 at the moment and do you know if these scenarios were created with 1.01 or 1.0 ?

I am and have been running 1.0, so maybe that's it. I'll look into it, and thanks for the prompt response!

Looks like that was the solution as I was able to have a scenario that I knew was created 1.0 appear on my screen.

Thanks again, and if I run into future problems, I'll keep you informed.
