I may have to brush up on my DirectX coding and build a new .exe that uses the games data files. Other people have done that for the Baulders Gate game so it runs on Linux and stuff.

What a sad day with no devs in sight.....anywhere.....

I think I hear an echo.....

It's so frustrating to not get a response. There are guys here willing to have a go at fixing this, me included, but we just need access to the code. In terms of how successful an approach like this can be, you only have to look in the WitP:AE forum and the amount of bugs getting squashed there. Patches are coming thick and fast for that game.

I've also volunteered to fix Napoleon in Italy free of charge, guess what, no response, the only developers I've managed to get to a point to even accept the possibility of volunteer coding help is HPS and so I'm developing an OOB editor for their Napoleonic series. I'm not saying that giving somebody access to the code would guarantee a fix, but at least we would be in a position to try.

We're just after one.

Cheers

It is a shame. I am more surpised by the absence of erik rutins more than cooneys. I thought for sure he would have put an end to our silly games by now. In an era of grand strategy titles this was a pleasant diversion and deserves better treatment.

Still nothing in the way of a response, i see. Still on vacation, maybe, I haven't seen any new posts from Erik. I'm sure will get a response sooner or later. I've put it down for now, the withdraw bug was a bit too annoying for me.

Hey I sent a support ticket, and they tersely replied that all game related questions be posted in the game forum. Sooooo, here I be....

This is a new game. Erik montiors and posts in the other threads, why not here?

Besides, I just post so I can raise my star count. [;)] Yeah right...

If they are not going to fix things, then just TELL US. C'mon, how hard is that. I'm a big boy, I can take it. I'm following Matrix instructions per THEIR support ticket.

BTW Wodin do you have the game? It's really quite elegant and comes with a ton of scenarios. Maps with the JMass mod are good looking.

I wonder if PJ is still lurking around here somewhere. He's been playing some other stuff. This is what happens you don't keep an active presence and the game loses momentum. It ain't right I tell ya. [:'(][;)]

I'm a stubborn fellow, get beat all the time at this game, but I still like it. I ain't gonna give up. I'm posting until someone OFFICIAL shows up. You wanna PM Erik, go right ahead. I'm still ticked about the support ticket response, so I'm just going to stay here and post until you know what freezes over.

There are only a "few" bug issues/questions that we have.

I have had games and mentioned them on another thread where it was SEVEN years later and they responded INSTANTLY and fixed my problem.

Now look what you did, made me post twice in this thread today. Dag nab it.

I'm gonna go play with my new backpack, and calm down. (kidding, just kidding)

I think we've all behaved rather gentlemanly, perhaps we should begin a thread in the general discussion forums...see who bites.

@Mark, please make yourself known over at Wastelands. Their scenario editor for time of fury, is not a patch on what you achieved for Panzer Corps.

I saw a post from Erik this morning in the General area about someone saying the store is "flaky".

Maybe we could say the game is "flaky" and someone will respond. [:D]

We are at the moment still in the "new" game section of the forums. Erik et al are posting other places, therefore one would make the easy leap to say that Matrix is ignoring us. Why?

I don't see any posts through the CCME threads that show a discourtesy to anyone. We have all been very civil. I fail to understand why we seem to be ignored.

One of you guys is going to have to post it somewhere else, since "I" was told to post in the game thread. I told ya I'm stubborn.

I really do appreciate your help though.

Ok, now I gotta go look at a turn from Atilla the Hun Joe in Palermo. You guys have a great day.

BTW guys, make sure you open a support ticket for those who have the game complaining about bugs, and I might add lack of support. Thanks.

question-

something just occurred to me. The forum name is combat command series, is there more releases planned? or is it just that it's a couple of products in one. Maybe once someone responds they can answer that question also, i'd be down with some more combat command goodness, provided this one gets all ship, shaped up.

What they said, albeit belatedly. The game desrves better.

That "status resolved" bit seems to be a standard for whatever support/complaint 'ticket' control the industry uses. IMHO it should never be used until the customer has confirmed the problem has been fixed; otherwise it just comes across as "I can't be arsed with this; just go away", whether that's intended or not.

Yeah, Coakley/Cooney, and Matrix are going to be ticked off at you all. How dare you keep trying to promote this game. [;)]
