C2 propagation takes longer, so scouts reporting they've spotted something takes longer to make it to other units.

Interesting I didn't think it did. Hummmm


IIRC, it also increases the likelihood of friendly fire incidents for units out of contact - similar to night missions at the Elite ...

I thought Iron also created more limited comms capabilities that require better formation management.


I don't believe that it does. It certainly makes it easier to see who is in contact but I didn't think that it changed the C2 functioning. I see that @oldsarge has thoughts similar to yours and ...

There is some debate. My favourite is Elite which gives you realistic artillery time calls, individual spotting and hides the ID of the enemy units (if you select an enemy unit you end up getting details about its type).

Lots of people play Iron which means when you select even your units you see ...

This was an issue reported over on the old Battlefront site ( https://community.battlefront.com/topic/140725-mi-24p-hind-at-6-issue/ ) and I either can't find the resolution (if there is one yet)

This has not been fixed yet.

on the Matrix forum or it never migrated over to the Matrix forum ...

@OldSarge covered the vehicle specific points. I'll just add that greyed out sub-systems means it is unavailable. Typically, for weapons, it means it is reloading but could also be out of ammo.

Not for PBEM games. For those using dropbox (or similar file sharing services) there are turn manager applications that support it. Well almost.

There is a well used CMHelper that is no longer in active development which has a chat feature. There is also Who's Turn Is It? (https://www ...

I gathered from the email announcement that you either must have the Matrix games launcher version, or the Steam version moving forward.


Indeed that seems to be the case. Any current BFC installs you have will keep on working though so there is no need to rush our and transition right away. I ...

Is there a way to run the game in 64bit?

The game is compiled as an extended 32bit app on Windows. So it has access to the max 4Gb of memory for a 32bit app.

Is there a way to do this? In the editor it says you can make it into four hours, and presumably you give more points,

Yes, using the scenario editor you can set your own time limit (up to the 4hr max) and assign points the way you like. Quick battles automatically create the scoring points and ...

Sadly, I do not believe this is possible. Various communities have created a few campaign systems and they get used mostly on battles on the few good men site. I do not think there is one on the go currently there though either.

That does suck. if you are playing CM on a notebook you really need one that has an nVidia card as well (note at the moment I would avoid AMD cards because they broke some Open GL APIs and have not fixed them yet). My old gaming notebook uses both. Uses the intel graphics chip for non games but has ...

Do you mean some letters don't appear clearly? That can be either a graphics card that doesn't handle Open GL well (for example the built in Intel graphics cards). If you have a notebook with an nVidia card make sure your setup is such that the game will use the high performance card. The other ...

Try issuing an Open Up command to the half track.

Tournament turns disappear once you have played them. Regular challenges don't seem to. So, if you don't see tournament turns and have not received any emails then you are simply waiting for your opponent. You can look their user name up in the private messages area but they don't need a community ...

I don't know this for sure but BFC doesn't usually do 1/1000th version numbers. BFC uses 2.16, 2.17, 2.18 so I strongly suspect that 2.18.01 is a Slytherine thing having to do with Matrix and or steam deployment.

But I'm just guessing.

I am wondering what is going on with this tournament.

Initially (on April 6) I had 2 games linked to my account (john47).

First game, I was tasked to play the Syrian side, so I opened the file and proceeded beyond the password screen.
The game then automatically saved and disapperead from my ...

Hi
I'm trying to play this tournament but I don't know if I'm doing it correctly. I have only been able to put the password as Syrian opponent. The other files that I can access ask me for a password as an American, but at no time have I been asked to enter a password as an American.
Could it be ...

Link for getting a steam key: https://www.slitherine.com/forum/viewto ... 58&t=93585

It is the same game. Now it is available via Matrix and Steam.

If you already bought it via BFC you can get Steam keys for it. I have not done that but you can find directions on here or at the BFC forum pages.

The patch from the Battlefront website won't install. It tells me that my serial number is invalid.


Do you mean the battle pack will not activate? Running the installer does not require a serial number or key only activation requires that. I recommend you contact BFC's support if you haven't ...
