Re: 1728.2 won't start in Steam Beta branch

I restarted W11, which then kicked off Steam to update itself when I opened Steam, and after that the Beta worked.

That doesn't explain why it worked with 1.08 but not the Beta, but whatever.

Back in business. The one thing I didn't try :-)

Yes. That had no effect. I got a spinning circle for about 3 seconds and then nothing. Good thought though, but I've never needed to do that before.

[RESOLVED] 1728.2 won't start in Steam Beta branch

Symptoms:
* Switch to Beta and Steam downloads and installs beta
* Hit Play on Steam and the Launcher appears
* Select Play on the Launcher and the CMO opening screen does not appear, and after 10 seconds or so Steam reverts to the Play button (intead of Stop).

Tried:
* Reverting to 1.08, and it ...

Re: Relevant files and sequence to load for Command Modern Operations

You should just be able to download the installer from your "My Page" on the Matrix Games website and run the installer. There isn't anything special needed for running Windows programs on a Mac, either in Bootcamp or Parallels Desktop. I run mine using Steam in W11 on Parallels Desktop. It's just ...

Re: Silent Service issues: what are they?

"Too difficult" to me does not equal broken. Are they too difficult because the victory conditions are too hard, due to the platforms and sonar/sound models now being more realistic? That's ok for me. I'll play them and see what I can do. I'm not all about winning, but in gaining understanding and ...

Re: combat mission fortress italy

In general, the *minimum* indirect fire ranges for even a 105mm howitzer will exceed the size of most maps in the game, or if not will exceed the distance from friendly map edge to targeted enemy unit.

Pretty nice for bunker busting or house clearing though.

Re: CMO v1.07 Update - Build 1527

I'm good now.Thanks. I missed it because Steam always gives me a "Update Queued" notification and then I have to press the Update button. This time apparently, it just did its thing in the background.

Everything is up to date.

Re: CMO v1.07 Update - Build 1527



2) You should update regardless, beta exes expire after 28 days.


Do you know if that will be pushed to Steam, or do I need to manually install that update to my Steam installation (before the "BETA" expires)? Either way is fine - just don't want bother to manually do it if it's going to happen ...

Re: If possible what is the best option to run CMO on a M Series Mac?

I run it using Parallels on a M2 MacBook Pro. It runs fine. I've not had any issues at all. I have run it previously on two different Intel based MBPs as well.

I currently run 1.07 in Steam in Parallels.

Re: Tacview : models not updating

I get the incorrect color behavior in normal (non-editor) mode in the first Submarine Tutorial. When first detected it has the shape of (I think) a Knox class frigate, in dark yellow (I'm partly colorblind so leeway on colors please :-) ). When it is IDed as enemy, it does not change, and remains a ...

Re: Parallels users on a mac help

Did anything improve here? One thing I just thought of is that I found CMO performed better with 8GB than 12GB memory allocated. I believe that's how it defaults. You might try that.

Saying that, I believe when I found that it was during beta testing of the 64-bit, which still wasn't running that ...

Re: 3D view: Which approach do you prefer?

Option 2, the current setup. I use a laptop (high end one) and always will, but that makes screen space a premium. To me, Tacview is fun eye-candy, but doesn't help me play the game. I have it but I find I don't use it too much other than for the novelty. I like the option I have currently to either ...

Start with the tutorials included. They have pop up windows that will guide you through the mission and teach you what you need to know for each. All are valuable, and be sure to do them in order. Save the mission planner ones for last. The strike tutorials are particularly useful once you've got ...
