no 3d view after installing TacView

Does this feature just not work? Getting pretty frustrated with this and unless there is as simple fix then I will look at refunding this ASAP.

For me I prefer having non-steam walled garden dependend games when I can.

Re: Bad download speeds


Matrix's download speeds have never been good, but right now they are really bad. I am trying to download CMO and my speeds for the last hour are consistently 250 to 500 KB/sec, giving me a 10 to 15 hour download time for a 14.7 gig file. Really? Come on guys! I normally get 11 to 13 MBps on Steam ...

Re: How Accurate is Command Modern Operations?



From what I'm seeing this game looks more focused on air/naval stuff and minutae of moving individual units rather than commanding squadrons/wings/fleet/groups whatever (formations)?


This simulation has the interesting duality of claiming to be mostly operationally oriented but in reality ...

Re: How Accurate is Command Modern Operations?

Yeah would be interested in a response from someone who has experience at the BN thru Corps and Theater levels in the intel/ops side; videos I'm seeing look like a lot of micromanaging that you would not do at those levels; but I don't really know of a civilian simulation that can do what I've used ...

With campaign generator AI hardly buys any units

Cannot figure out what is going on here; I have AI set to 400 formations and 20,000 buying points and the max AI level/difficulty; and yet, every single map in the campaign the AI only has a handful of units. Does anyone know how to fix this? It absolutely kills the game.
