Re: CMO freezes on Exit after uploading new scenario on Steam


Strange thing. I managed to upload a different scenario as a test and then deleted it. It works

I was able to add your scenario to Steam workshop as a test. Steam does have a 'terms of service' agreement that it can pop up during this process -- you might double check that you've already agreed ...

Thank you. That confirms Command is using the correct version of Steamworks.NET.dll, at least. We're investigating the issue.

Could you please repeat the steps to cause the error and then post your exception log file to the forum?

The excepton log is in the Command installation folder under the 'Logs' folder. This is usually C:\Program Files (x86)\Steam\steamapps\common\Command - Modern Operations\Logs with a default ...

Re: Loading save game doesn't bring back all units


When I load the saved game, all of my land facilities are gone, along with most of my aircraft. Most of the enemy facilities and units are gone as well.

Do you happen to have a save (or an autosave) of the scenario before the units were lost? Unfortunately the units are already gone from this ...

Re: B1877 Exception in the Edit cargo window

The scenario uses DB 473 which is too old to have full cargo data support. I will fix the exceptions but to use most cargo features you'll also need to update the scenario to a more recent DB.

Re: PAC-3 MSE unable to engage target while PAC-2 GEM+ is able

The primary issue here is that the PAC-2 interceptor has (as defined in the DB) a higher max target altitude than the other two types of interceptors. Since the ballistic missile is coming down at a steep angle, altitude is the primary factor in when it is within range or not. Since the PAC-2 is ...

Thanks for the additional information.

Does running CC_TBF.EXE 'As Administrator' one time still resolve the issue?

Re: Close Combat Arnhem

It can be played multi-player but the multi-player relies on a direct TCP connection with no built-in support for bypassing your firewall / routers (that usually block any attempt to connect two computers across the internet, for security reasons.) If both players understand how to open ports for ...

Re: AT Weapons Usage in Infantry Engagements

HEAT ammunition (which is usually that fired by infantry AT weapons) should only be used vs infantry targets that are in hard cover such as a building or bunker. Reducing blast radius and blast rating will reduce the AI's rating of the weapon (i.e. how good the AI thinks it is vs a given target) so ...

Re: CCModSwap / Mods with COI v3.06.04.00 ?

Yes, for GOG you can create a mod folder under the game install location, place all the modded files into that mod folder, and then create a shortcut (or a custom launch option in GOG) to run CCE.EXE with /d <mod folder name>

Re: windows 10 compatibility testing 2

The downloadable installer is stand-alone -- you won't need your CD. Just run the setup after downloading it. You will need to download the stand-alone installer for each game separately.

Re: windows 10 compatibility testing 2

If you have an original DVD then a newer installer may be needed. If you go to the 'My Page' link at the top of the forum web page you can create/log in to your Matrix account and register your serial number there, which will allow you to download the latest installer for the game.

I have not heard of any issues. Was there a problem with the setup program failing or the game not running after setup was complete?

If the setup succeeded but the game doesn't run, try using Windows Explorer and run the game executable (CCE.EXE) 'As Administrator' one time. This has been said to ...

Re: Ranks and relation with Nation file

No, you can't add new columns to nation ranks.

My understanding is that Warrant Officers were both 1) few in number and 2) in non-combat positions that wouldn't normally be seen at the squad level of Close Combat.

To confirm, you ran CC_TBF.EXE 'As Administrator' and received some error messages. After you did this once, you are now able to run CC_TBF.EXE without error and without using 'As Administrator', is that correct?

2) Try re-installing the Microsoft Visual C ...
