poesel Posted June 30, 2011 Share Posted June 30, 2011 How big do they get? The biggest one I've got so far was just below 20Mb - very happy Dropbox user here... 0 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Out of curiosity, what size game are you playing? I am in a pbem game now of Bois de Baugin and file size is typically about 7mb 0 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

smbecket Posted July 1, 2011 Share Posted July 1, 2011 I am currently in a PBEM game; at turn 17. File sizes have varied from about 19.5 MB at setup up to a little over 27 MB. And I second a big thank god for Dropbox! I should mention that we are playing on a fairly detailed 2x2 km map. 0 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Bertram Posted July 1, 2011 Share Posted July 1, 2011 Large map with large troops gets up to 55 MB at turn 2. We then abandoned the game... Medium goes between 19 and 25 MB, depending on map and force composition. 0 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
sburke Posted July 1, 2011 Share Posted July 1, 2011 http://www.battlefront.com/community/showpost.php?p=1228302&postcount=463 Interesting. I am playing Bois de Baugin now and so far my file size (at turn 20) has been pretty consistently 6-7 mb. 0 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

One can only hope that this patch everyone talks about effectively deals with these stupidly huge files. 0 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Scipio Posted July 1, 2011 Share Posted July 1, 2011 One can only hope that this patch everyone talks about effectively deals with these stupidly huge files.This won't happen. PBEM-Files in CMSF were already 40+MB in large scenarios. Beside that I really don't see the problem. Even files of that size can be exchanged without problem, if you're not using hardware and services of the 20th century. I strongly recomment to use DropBox. But it would be rather nice if saved game (normal and PBEM) files would be loaded faster, or if my system wouldn't be locked in the loading screen while loading. 0 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Really? I can tab away from CM at any time. In fact I did just before I wrote this. 0 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Sergei Posted July 2, 2011 Share Posted July 2, 2011 MAC or Windows? If Windows, which one?? There shouldn't be anything preventing you from tabbing out. Windows may require there to be another program to alt-tab to, though: if only CM is running, then you can use Windows button/Ctrl-Esc to open the Start menu, this will always bring up the desktop. 0 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Scipio Posted July 2, 2011 Share Posted July 2, 2011 Sergei, it doesn't work. I had this issue already in CMSF under Windows XP and still have under Windows 7 with completly different PC. 0 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
