The requirements for this game do not list a DVD player. But it looks like all versions of this game come with a DVD. So do I need a DVD player for this game to work?

In the requirements it mentioned possible problems with sound cards, then suggested trying the demo first. Is there a demo?

Is this ...

It's now been 2 years since I first posted that the CC series looks dead. Steve McClaire announced "Matrix/Slitherine will announce future plans when they're ready to do so."

So I'm now even more sure that the Code Combat series of games is done, and there will be no more. I've yet to find any ...

Veteran 1.05 worked well but when I tried to save the game it got weird and crashed the next time. So now we only play operations or battles we can finish in one night.

It's been a few years and no announcements of any new Close Combat games being in development. Maybe the series is dead. The basic game engine could be used to make all kinds of new games for different wars going back hundreds of years.

My partner and I played "Veteran" 1.05 and like it a lot. When playing 2 players against the computer this gives each player more units to command. We played 2 battles of a campaign and it did not crash.

I like the big maps, bigger infantry units, more vehicle types. Downsides: conflicting info in ...

This is a newer mod finished last year I believe. It's different from the first "veteran" mod Nomanda made that Matrix promoted. Nomanda made big tactical maps with strategic maps that look like older versions of close combat. There are also more units per game, about 16 units on one side. Infantry ...

I wish there was as way to play this game by connecting 2 computers without using the internet. It would be a lot more successful, as the game could be easily played at gaming conventions that way. No more internet problems, which has been the singe biggest problem with this game and all the earlier ...

I"m interested.

I got the new version installed. We will try it soon. Thanks for your help. Glad to see work was still being done on this game in 2021. We looked around and there is still nothing as good as this for a tactical real time game.
Suggestions:

Make the release notes printable. I don't know how to ...

I tried to play a multiplayer game using the Normandy mod. Host 10108. Client 1010a. Both players must be using the same version. I'm the host. What should we do to fix this? I bought a disc. My partner dowloaded the game. We updated version and were playing the game a few years ago. Now the game ...

After a year or so break, I'm trying to play this game again multiplayer. The old recorded login and password did not work. So I entered a new login and password. But I got this message "Register new user failed. Lobby system error."

Unfortunately this kind of thing is so typical of this game ...

There has been nothing announced that I can find. I think the series ...

<t> Nomanda - we played with every setting at normal. 30 minutes games. The battles did not finish fast. But eventually the Germans broke every time. They just did not lose any territory after they supposedly were destroyed. <br/>
<br/>
Steve McClaire - yes, I was hosting and my partner joined ...

<t> Thanks to Nomanda Firefox for making this. I have a partner and we both play allies as a team. We started the Longest Day campaign. We are still on the same starting map, after killing lots of Germans whose strength never seems to go down after a number of battles. Similar to the older post ...

<t> Thanks for the explanation and the list of changes. So maybe I found a flaw that needs to be fixed. I'm seeing the red-eye during the setup phase of the game before the battle starts. Some units have a red-eye, some don't. Red-eye means no line of sight. But during the setup phase, there is no ...

<t> My opponent bought the game on Steam, so it's automatically updated with new versions. But I bought the disc. There is no link here for buyers like me to be able to update their game to version 8. When we tried to playmy oponent I found out I needed version 8. I was able to get version 8 with my ...

<t> We got the new version of the game installed and now we have been able to play operations much better. We were able to play saved operations that were started with an earlier version. Maybe the new version fixed something for us. We did have a couple of strange cases where a 60mm mortar shot ...

We don't get an error message, we just get long term waiting on the "exchanging game data" screen. Eventually, we give up and abort the game. The extremely long times make it unlikely hte game will actually load. So how long should we wait? Hours?

Thanks.

<t> My partner in games has been hosting with an open 1944 port. We sometimes can play even when it's only 1 red bar each. We play a number of battles in a row, everything working fine. But we can't finish an operation in one day. When we try to start that operation another day we get to "exchanging ...

Pip - thanks for your reply. Where and when is the indication that we are directly connected?

How important are the bars seen in they lobby? We have been able to play with only one red bar each. But sometimes we see no bars.
