This is a problem for me in version 1463.

If I turn off EVERYthing except borders then it renders just fine. But once I start adding layers it returns

Confirmed. This fixes the issue

Feedback from the OP indicates that the newly-released Build 1468 fixes this issue, so please give that a try and let us know either way.


My fix was do a complete reinstall outside of the Programs directory. CMO runs as expected now.

I didn't do anything differently during the installation ...

Figured out the problem.

Formation Editor will only work if you have GROUP VIEW enabled before you select any member of the group you're working with.

So it's
1) ensure your units are grouped
2) make sure group view is selected
3) select the group (and if the group already appears selected ...

Well, I ended up uninstalling CMO and the re-installing in a different location. Fun!

Reinstalling in a different location Seems to have fixed this problem.

And call me crazy, but if I think that if it's a "known" issue that CMO might not run properly if installed in the "Programs" directory, then ...

Yup. It's very annoying.

Seems to happen after you've zoomed in and then you zoom back out.

I'm sure nothing has changed with the game itself. Its always risky running in that folder as permissions and security changes can happen with windows updates.


Ugh. I did not know this! Programs was the default location that the CMO installer went to for me.

Since, I'm suddenly having the same ...

Ugh. Same exact problem here. Tried running as administrator too.

So for me, looks like 1463 broke everything

Is there any way to go back to a stable version?

(FWIW I'm running 64-bit Windows 10 and the non-Steam version)

Just came back to CMO after a couple of years. I am using this same build as the OP (fresh install of 1.05 then upped to 1.06 1328.18)

I'm running First Contact l986.

I'm able to use the F4 (or Formation Editor button) for the first few moments of the scenario. But after that time, the F.E. just ...

Super! Thank you very much!!

Thanks. Yes, I've had SOME success using this to avoid missiles (mostly by hiding BEHIND the fijords). <br/>

However, my biggest problem still seems to be that I simply run out of missiles before coming close to inflicting a sufficient amount of ...

<r> I appreciate the sanity check! What put me over the edge was that I found a video of a guy playing this scenario but in CMANO-- he basically was 100% successful with his missiles and received no counterfire. Made me think I was missing some nuance.<br/>

Awesome!!!

Well, that's odd. That "edited by" was NOT there when I looked at it. I specifically looked to see if that was the case. Sorry. My bad.

Huh. That is weird. Anyway, we cool [8D]
