Ran into the CMRT crash bug now...

The missing helmets, etc, thing sounds like a missing patch? (Missing .brz file?) (Or perhaps a patch installed in the wrong order, and so not operating correctly?)

I have a full install order list: if it would help I can either post it here, or PM you ... :)

Thanks Phil ... either will do fine... then I can compare it with what I have here.
 
What I have is:

- base CMBN v1.00
- patch v1.10
- CW module at v1.10
- patch v1.11
- update v2.00
- patch v2.01
- MG module plus v2.10
- patch v2.11*
- patch v2.12
- upgrade v3.0
- VP and patch v3.10: reactivate 3.0 , CW , MG ; and activate VP
- patch v3.11

* I think you can omit patch v2.11: shortly after it was issued, a problem was discovered and v2.12 was issued to supersede it. (As with CMRT v1.01 being replaced by v1.02.) But if you have v2.11 I don't see what harm it can do to use it ...

That what you had? Hope it helps anyway!
 
@Rico

Here is what your Data folder should look like at v3.11:

I took this screenshot by request from one of my PBEM partners who apparently also had troubles upgrading/patching CMBN.
 
@mTk so that's rhetorical then - obviously...

And to check on Mad Mikes post, I hate to think with all the other bad decisions they seem to make that they invest too much in Black Sea and suddenly its the end of the road for WW2 - because as they keep reminding us they aren't making lots of money - personally I think thats the time in business to concentrate guys - last thing you want to do is upset the fan base with dodgy patches and less popular games...

Out of interest how many FGM'ers have preordered Black Sea?
 
I did :) Still playing CMSF as well.

Great list, Mike. I hope Rico finds a solution.
 
Hi all.
It really didn't take that much to recognize that they are taking a completely wrong direction. But as long as Grammont's inacceptable behaviour against people with other opinions about WW2 did not affect you, nobody did care...
But with Black Sea many of you experience personally the first time the intolerance of this incredible hypocrite - and how that feels. While setting up rules that deny the discussion of politics, ignoring them and spreading blatant NATO-propaganda lies, denouncing Putin or Ron Paul while silencing opposition.

That's the same he has been doing by promoting his view of WW2, but many didn't recognize it, or even applauded him, for silencing people with other opinions.
The BFC forums are a microcosm why the USA are turning into a plutocratic dictatorship and the sheeple not even recognizing it: free speech? Sure! But not here if you have a different opinion, this is a private place...

I would lie if I would say I am sorry for that. You earn what you deserve for staying silent, when Grammont was unjust and hypocritical torwards other people.

Nobody wants to practize free speech anymore - and so it is dying. And you don't even recognize it; or if you recognize it, you don't care. Because it doesn't affect you personally (until one day it will). The filled refrigerator, the next iPhone, the next release of a game or the size of the TV-brainwashing machine is more important to you, than people being silenced because they raise a different opinion!

I believe with "Black Sea" this will become even worse in the BFC community: the historically interested part of the customer base will shrink even more while NATO-chauvinists and idiots that find it cool to bring "progress" to other countries, while they don't even recognize that they are doing the dirty work for the banksters and the 1%, will become even more dominant.

@Hedgehog I will be interested to see what the take up is. I know I have seen video AARs of some of the other modern games - but I am not sure they are as popular as WW2 - either way we will find out when it is released...

I honestly find your post quite strange. As a first post on the forum you spread your political view which obviously is in favor of Vladimir Putin. It is your right to have that opinion but this is not the place for your agenda. Go to Russia Today - you will receive a lot of likes over there. This is a club of open minded and friendly wargamers and not a political forum.
 
I haven't updated to the latest patch yet. I saw this post in the BF forums if it helps but I'm sure you guys have already tried it.

I had this problem with trying to resume a saved game and crashing at 26%.
I read a message about only saving games during the "command" phase, not the "replay" phase, and this solved the problem.

Now each time I save a game during the "command" phase I don't have any trouble resuming it later.

Hope this helps.... Jeff

Good idea, but it's not about that "usual" game update issue between patches. Crashes will happen to games STARTED in v1.02 and they can be PBEMs as well as Single Player Save Games. So everybody can (and most likely will) be affected.

I would ask members reading this to go over to the official BFC board and post their opinions about this issue. I fear BFC is not taking this serious at all and maybe we as the customer base have to voice our opinions more emphatically. Might be worth a try...

BF's pro-active customer relations and comms is basically non-existent ... there should be posts on their front page about this problem and warning customers that they broke the game with this patch and they are working on it (or even better, a mailer -- they have all our emails anyway)-- instead loyal customers have to go rooting around their message boards for some answers (not that there are any, really)

Honesty best policy here ... trying the politician's tactic of burying their heads in the sand hoping it'll blow over will just lose them customers.
 
I posted the following message on BF's tech support thread about the bug, just before they migrated to their new fourm:

"Wow I'm amazed there is still radio silence on fixing the RT 1.02 crash bug. I was pondering whether or not to get Black Sea, but I think this has made up my mind. Please can we have some sort of acknowledgement as to when 1.02 might be fixed?

BF it feels like the support of your longterm customer base is being ignored in favour of pushing out a new product. Please fix your much loved existing product before you expect your loyal customers to fork out more money on a new one!"


Subsequent to making that post I found I could not access BF's foum or main site from the IP address I made the complaint. I got in touch with them via email to find out why this was so. Their response was that they had blacklisted my IP address! Basically they punished me for complaining about the poor state of affairs with 1.02.

Fortunately, they have since migrated to a new forum which did away with their blacklist. Still I think it is quite remarkably bad customer service.

Unbelievable - as soon as I can I will be posting something similar, so expect me to join you in virtual banishment shortly...
 
@Richtig I think they've got it coming to them. The only cautionary note I would add is that the ban also prevented from accessing BF's main site, which could have caused problems trying to acquire updates (for example, I had to download CMBN 3.0 from my work IP address).
 
There are those businesses that think customers matter, and there is Battlefront...

As I said before unbelievable (or it would be if it was anybody else).
