chris talpas Posted May 18, 2011 Share Posted May 18, 2011 I'm not sure if anyone else is noticing this. If I try to restart after exiting, nothing apparently is happening. However if I look at the Task Manager, I see one core fully occupied. If I stop the Combat Mission Process, I can then restart fine. I am running WinXP by the way.

Battlefront.com Posted May 18, 2011 Share Posted May 18, 2011 There is an issue with some users of Win 7 64 Bit version and ATI cards using out of date drivers. Make sure you update your ATI drivers to 11.5. That should fix the problem. Steve 0 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Stingray Posted May 18, 2011 Share Posted May 18, 2011 Had the same problem. Solved it by: 1- Deleted (using the control panel) all cmbn files. you need to manually remove some files. 2. Turned off my Anti-Virus software (I have Norton) 3. Re- installed cmbn Make sure the Anti Virus software is disabled everytime you play cmbn. If you forget to disable the anti virus... you need to do steps 1-3 again. Hope this helps until BFC can find a better solution. 0 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Battlefront.com Posted May 18, 2011 Share Posted May 18, 2011 Hmmm... I don't see why you would need to do something that drastic. I'll forward it onto Moon just in case though. Steve 0 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Stingray Posted May 18, 2011 Share Posted May 18, 2011 Found a better solution. Opened Norton files. There is an option that prevents Norton from scanning certain files. Included cmbn game and demo to the "DO not scan" list. PROBLEM SOLVED !!! 0 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Added CMBN to exclusions from scan on my Avast but it does not help - i have to go to task manager to restart it. 0 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Moon Posted May 18, 2011 Share Posted May 18, 2011 chris, this issue is most likely tied to your ATI card. Make sure to update your drivers to 11.5 0 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Tacloban Posted May 19, 2011 Share Posted May 19, 2011 chris, this issue is most likely tied to your ATI card. Make sure to update your drivers to 11.5 Of course, my brand new HP won't let me update my ATI driver. Another HP hapless owner that won't be purchasing this game. 0 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Battlefront.com Posted May 19, 2011 Share Posted May 19, 2011 Why won't you're HP allow you to update your ATI driver? Oh... wait... are you using a laptop which HP so thoughtfully decided to make a custom driver for? Grr... I forget how to find them, but there are hacked ATI drivers out there that I used to use on my Mac laptop to override Apple's custom drivers. It worked great and generally the hacked ones were released pretty quickly after the official ones. ATI even had a link (at the time anyway!) to the hacked drivers in their tech support area. Which tells you something Steve 0 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
SNAFU Posted May 19, 2011 Share Posted May 19, 2011 Of course, my brand new HP won't let me update my ATI driver. Another HP hapless owner that won't be purchasing this game. Another work-around I used (until I updated my drivers) is to open task manager (cntrl+alt+del), look in the processes, highlight the BattleFront program and click end task. After doing that the program should start up again. At least it worked for me. It's a couple extra steps but a lot better than not playing the game 0 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
dan/california Posted May 19, 2011 Share Posted May 19, 2011 There is a hack out there to fix this, I had the same problem with my HP. It is crazy making! Okay, I think I have figured out a way to jailbreak my driver's and solve the problem. It was somewhat radical. The critical step is a program called ReadyDriverPlus v1.2 that disables an overly paranoid safety in the Windows boot file. This joyous little file will only allow the laptop to run drivers signed by Microsoft, it is my assumption that HP is simply too cheap and/or lazy to either test new drivers and release them, or allow the standard version of catalyst to run. Ready Driver Plus disables this. The next step is a wonderful little jail broken driver from http://www.hardwareheaven.com/window...0-10a-1-a.html. This guy seems to be borderline brilliant at working around the computer manufacturers attempt to make us crazy. If anyone else is having this problem please note this is a link to the link, and not the program itself. It all appears to work for me wonderfully, although I've barely had any time to play in the last three days. I am however going to repeat what the programmers themselves said, this is an as is, no warranty, it may break stuff, kind of thing to do to your computer. I would however like to address my appreciation to these gentlemen for helping us deal with the very worst sort of intentional planned obsolescence. I will never buy another product from HP, ever, not so much the printer cartridge. The fact that this bloody hack worked is more or less absolute proof I shouldn't of had to do it. Battlefront has, as always, provided the best customer support anyone could reasonably ask for. This is appreciated. 0 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Abn Air Cav Posted May 19, 2011 Share Posted May 19, 2011 Hi Moon, That indeed did the trick. Thanks very much! Chris FWIW, I was running Windows 7 64-bit with fairly recent 11.2 ATI drivers, and also had the same issue until I installed the current 11.5 drivers. Just a few months made a difference, the 11.5 did the trick for me, as well. 0 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Tacloban Posted May 19, 2011 Share Posted May 19, 2011 Thank you. I'll look around. These seems like a very helpful, friendly forum, which I appreciate. 0 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Peregrine Posted May 19, 2011 Share Posted May 19, 2011 I saw this happen on my brother's machine. XP and ATI card, no idea what drivers. If you don't want to update your drivers you can crtl-alt-del, go to processes then END the CMBN process that is still running and you will be able to start it again. 0 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
