Any word on when we can download the 1.03 patch?

I always go back to it.

I took the plunge after reading the forums and reviews. The patch that is coming out helped.Looks great, glad I did.

Anyone out there using 2.0 shader on their video card and the downloaded shader fix for the game able to see houses and trees on the maps?

Trees might be a separate issue with cards that don't support DirectX9.0c; the trees use an instancing technique that may not work on 9.0 cards regardless of shader support.<br/>

I'm not sure why buildings wouldn't show on your card ...

There is a hotkey to turn off terrain, T

Maybe you turned them off at some point?

I wish it was that simple.I knew about that key a long time ago.

<t> I already installed the 1.2 update and have been starting up the game frome the 2.0 shader in the windows start up menu shortcuts.The graphics all seem to be there except the houses and trees...[&:]There are other games on my computer that are more demanding on graphics and I don't have issues ...

<t> With this fix for us with only 2.0 shader support I noticed on my machine that there are no buildings or trees displayed. The map otherwise is OK chits, information and other terrain. Anybody have any idea about a fix for this? I've played around with lower graphic etc in the settings with no ...

OK I found the 2.0 shader startup. Game loaded with 2.0 shader but I get everthing loaded cards. buttons, etc.,except maps. No maps, everything else except the game map I'm supposed to be playing on. Anyone experience or know why this is happening? Thanks.

<r> Not a big poster but have purchased many,many Matrix games. I have the boardgame versions and took the plunge for the computer version meeting the minimum specs advertised at the Slitherine and Matrix website.<br/>
<br/>
I got the message program requires pixel shader 3.0 and vertex shader 3.0 ...

<t> Would I be able to use the printed manual that came with Highway to the Reich to refresh my memory on the rules for Command Ops: Battles From The Bulge? Are the rules all that different to make a great difference (the differences I'd be able to figure out as I play)? It would be so much easier ...

Well, "when it's ready" is the official reply. I think we can say this Summer with as much certainty as can be in these things.

How is the Summer release date comming along?

<r> I don't know if anyone has brought it up yet but I noticed at the Matrix site that all the other SSG games KP,BIN,and BII are in the Game Genre <B><s>[b]</s>Operational<e>[/b]</e></B> while Battlefront is in the genre <B><s>[b]</s>Tactical<e>[/b]</e></B>. Will there be that much of a difference ...

<r> Sounds good and I hope you are right.. but how do you explain SSG's Vice President giving this explaination as to what I questioned <br/>

<QUOTE><s>[quote]</s>Morale is abstracted into the elite/standard/substandard units, the number of steps and also into the way a unit's combat factors ...

<t> Okay I know that some will say that Morale is built into the game's steps etc. But how do you explain that certain units that I know were weaker in moral have the same number of steps and quality as known stronger equal sized units in the game? <br/>
<br/>
Also can you really separate Fatigue ...

<t> Sorry but the fact that they didn't create a 800x600 mode doesn't make any sense to me. Often times online games are for example better played in that mode ,so it's still used by the industry for various reasons.<br/>
<br/>
I like most people I suspect have some difficulty seeing all the info ...

Just wondering is there a way to play Battles in Normandy or Korsun Pocket in 800x600 video mode? I'd like a closer view of the action without pressing the "Alt" key all the time.

<t>Well I guess I'm an older war gammer.I'll tell you this much If Matrix or whoever is involved in this part of the game doese'nt fix the zoom (to allow many of us to be able to see the units) I'll be returning this game or if I can't return it will not buy another Matrix product.I wear glasses for ...
