Saveing and Loading a Game

[Ted Striker]

How do I load a saved game?

When I save a game, no file is added to the savegame dir in the CM default dir. This, I believe is causeing no "Load Game" option to appear in the main menu.

Is there a way to save a game during the gameplay besides Alt-S?

I dont know Ted, why dont you try rephraseing your question.

Are you sure that you're not running off of the CDROM ? Launch CM directly from the executable in the C:\PROGRAM FILES\CMBO directory to make sure that your shortcut isn't actually pointing to the executable on the CD.

I tried serveral times to email you the answer to your questions but your reply address is invalid.

Here is the answer to your question.

Note: Saved games are listed along with all the others, but have a different color.

Problem: Saved games (or ones downloaded) do not show up in the

Scenario/Operation list at the Main Menu.

Cause/Solution: Game is being run from the CD instead of from the installed

location on the computer.

Make sure you are running the game from the hard drive and not off the CD.

While the CD being inserted is required to run the game you need to be sure

that the game itself (the Combat Mission.exe) is being run from the

installed directory location on your computer. If you run the game from the

CD it will only show files on the CD and not the new ones being saved.

Mad Matt, I probably screwed up my email address during registration so here it is for everyone. flashovr@tds.net

I also solved my problem with the help of many great ppl here in this form. My shortcut was running the game off my CD instead of my HD. (DUH!)

Im not sure how that happened.
