OLDTIMER Posted May 29, 2007 Share Posted May 29, 2007 Hi Moon/Madmatt your proberly sick to death about forum members asking about the patch status but the question has to be asked. Will it still be the end of this month or has that changed. I bought a new computer to run this game as my old one was not up to it. New spec ACER ASPIRE 9301AWSMI laptop Amd turion 64 single core mk 36 2.0 ghz 512kb L2 cache 2 kb ddr2 667 memory Nvidia geforce go 6100 384 meg video vista home premium. The game run quite well with no shadowing enabled mostly all options on high settings apart from the shadows turned off. I love this game now i can play it but i hope the upcoming patch will will place this game were it belongs at the top of computer wargaming for many years to come. By the way ordered the boxed version when pre-ordering was first activated but nothing arrived as yet in the UK any news appricated best regards OLDTIMER Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
grimtooth Posted May 30, 2007 Share Posted May 30, 2007 Your new system sounds good enough to run. But I would definately uninstall Vista immediately. Otherwise I'm afriad the game will drop in framerates with microsoft memory hog eating up the system. I highly recommend reformatting the hard drive to XP. If you still like the looks of Vista, there are hundreds of mods out on the net that make XP look (almost)identical to Vista. Cheers! Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

OLDTIMER Posted May 30, 2007 Author Share Posted May 30, 2007 Hi grimtooth thanks for the xp info i will check it out Hi pwncake what a silly mistake to make yes it should be 2 gb of memory thats what old age does for you OLDTIMER Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
grimtooth Posted May 31, 2007 Share Posted May 31, 2007 2kb for memory? I remember back in the day with my ol' Texas Instruments TI99/4a had about 16k RAM. Slam my lil dungeon of doom game into the cassette drive and go play outside for about 40 minutes. If the system didn't have "syntax error" repeating across your tv screen you would be in video game heaven. If all else failed, go break open good ol' squad leader. So now when I see some complaining about their 3000 mhz atomic powered, laser cutting ,flame throwing, laptop not up snuff with their neighbors I can only sit back and recollect with laughter. Old timers unite! OLDTIMER! Signing off. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

BFCElvis Posted May 31, 2007 Share Posted May 31, 2007 OLDTIMER, your system is almost exactly like mine expect you have more RAM and you're running Vista to my XP Media Center. The game has always run very good for me. You should have now issues. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
dfritch Posted May 31, 2007 Share Posted May 31, 2007 Promises Promises. I guess there are still several hours before it's no longer May on any single spot on the globe. Originally posted by Moon: Battlefront.com and 1C are thrilled to announce the upcoming “Theatre of War – Battle for Moscow” Add-on , featuring a whole new campaign (Battle for Moscow, 1941) as well as a powerful Map Editor ! Better yet, the Add-on will be released for download to Theatre of War players completely for free! (You have to own Theatre of War full international version however to play it) The Add-on will be made available for download for free later this month from www.battlefront.com. Theatre of War - Battle for Moscow Add-on Contents Battle for Moscow, November 1941 campaign This big 10 mission campaign features completely new maps and challenges, and allows the player to re-live the second German assault on Moscow in November 1941 from the German and USSR perspective. The ten battles include historical engagements near Novopetrovsk, Istra, Krukovo, Yadromino, Chismena and Volokolamsk. Meeting engagements, encirclements, heavy assaults and light skirmishes during the brutal winter of 1941! Theatre of War Map Editor Fans have been waiting for this! The new Map Editor tool allows players to extensively change any of the existing mission and campaign maps, including changing placement and look of map objects such as buildings, trees, trenches, fortifications, damaged vehicles, and much more.

BFCElvis Posted June 1, 2007 Share Posted June 1, 2007 dfritch, thanks for th epost. I had been trying to find the post that said the patch would be released by the end of month. I know it's nitpicking but this post doesn't refer to the patch it refers to the add on which was announced as a seperate thing. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
dfritch Posted June 1, 2007 Share Posted June 1, 2007 I'm pretty sure it was edited out or removed. It'd be nice if the BFC person who wrote it would make an appearance and fess up and at least give us an update. I've been looking for it too, but whatever they say, we all know it was there. I'm really a sucker: I bought this one, gave it away, and got suckered AGAIN by the patch by end of the month speech and BOUGHT IT AGAIN. I've now paid $123 for this...thing (that's as pleasant as I can put it). Yes, $123. $60 the first time and $63 the second. So needless to say, I'm really ticked that I believed these folks. As Costanza said, "a little respect, please, for I am lord of the idiots." Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

dfritch Posted June 1, 2007 Share Posted June 1, 2007 Yeah. I've actually got that in the budget for June though. I haven't fessed up yet to this dumb, dumb act on the SHQ board. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Madmatt Posted June 1, 2007 Share Posted June 1, 2007 Just a quickie update, the patch is still being worked on so it won't be out for this weekend. We are trying to get at least *some* multi-core optimizations into the first patch, but this may not appear until subsequent patches. Final determination and approval on the patch contents will probably be made next week with a release following *soon* after. I can't define how "SOON", soon will be though. The patch, as is adds, some nice new features and fixes (LOS tweaks, waypoints, better AI behavior etc...) but I really wanted to see some performance improvements across the board, but those might not be able to get into this first patch. Hopefully I will have more details next week on where things stand. Madmatt Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Jim Cobb Posted June 2, 2007 Share Posted June 2, 2007 Re: 2KB Reminds me of my favorite brother-in-law story. In 1982, I was waiting for the Apple IIe to come out. My b-in-law asked me why I didn't just buy the II+. I said I wanted 64K of RAM. His reply: "Jim, nobody will ever use 64 K." I re-tell that every chance I get.
