Command Modern Operations update - Build 1115.7

[mavfin]

Looks like Steam hasn't caught up yet. Now that I'm home, I'm installing the patch now.

Will test.

Now, *if* I want to run the pic/description packs, I should *not* overwrite for CMO, correct? (Patch, yes, I overwrote, of course)

[tjhkkr]

Thank you!

Nearly 1am eastern now and still no steam update. [:(]

Unzip it all to a directory in your Downloads directory, and then select all, copy to the CMO directory. That will work because you'll be asked to provide administrator permission to do that, which 7z probably just doesn't ask for.

This works for me thank you very much ...... but I’m having some problems with this update ..... I can still play till they fix it as long as I don’t go into the OOB......

[kylania]

Still no patch on Steam for me, FYI.

Unzipped the contents into my CMO directory. The launcher states I'm running 1.00.11156

Is this correct?

Unzipped the contents too in my CMO directory. Version stated the same ....56.

Checked my antivirus (Symantec/Norton) wich has given trouble before and it had quarantined the new command.exe file. Removed quarantine and now i does show ...57 in the game. Maybe you might check has antivirus or something else giving you problems.

Norton AV should itself be considered malware by now.

I have few weeks left of Norton. Probably going to go another way after that. Maybe Windows Defender. I have several computers at home and with several users (wife/son)wich i am not allways sure are that carefull. So i have used norton wich is quite good but i does give lots of false positives and is eager to quarantine files.[:)]

There is nothing wrong with Windows Defender. I have used it for years based on the recommendation of my security analysts. Most of the third-party systems are no better for end-point security.

[Michael7619]

I have had norton maybe 15-20 years now so i am used to it. At that time i think norton was better than say Windows Defender (i might be wrong), but more recent years i think its been that i have been so used to use Norton that i havent really thought about using anything else. But my order ends in early December and i am quite sure that i will go with Windows defender.

FWIW, I agree with the assessment of Norton (and McAfee). I have 10 PC's/Laptops for various purposes here (CMO/CMANO being a major one). All running Windows 10.

I've found through much experimentation that Windows Defender, which comes with Windows is 95% effective in blocking bad stuff. This comes with the caveat that you are careful about where you go on the internet and what email attachments you open (obviously nothing from someone you don't know or the email says "Here is your invoice for XXX. Open it immediately". I also run MalwareBytes to periodically scan my drives for malware. On a side note, all bets are off if there are teenagers in the household!.

As additional protection I use Acronis backup software to daily do a complete clone image of my primary systems’ C: drive. That has saved me a couple of times when I’ve done experimentation (read something stupid) and rendered the system unusable. Just restore from last night’s save and back in business. This also helps if you want to put in a larger drive – no re-installation of Windows and applications – just put it in and restore from the last save.

I run a small business to build, setup, repair and upgrade PC’s, laptops and networks and the above information is what I provide clients. Some still like to have an additional 3rd party anti-virus application. For those folks I recommend and install “AVG Free” which is relatively non intrusive compared to Norton/McAfee and does not slow the system down. I’ve found AVG with the aforementioned Windows Defender provide 95%+ protection. Of course with the free version you do have to put up with the “nag” screens recommending you purchase the “pro” upgrade.

In summary,
• Dump Norton or McAfee
• Use Windows 10 Defender
• Use AVG Free (or similar) if you want a 3rd party AV application.
• Be careful where you go on the internet.
• Have a suspicious attitude about emails.
• For guaranteed security install a disk backup utility (there is also one in Windows).

I have teenager in my househould. He has maybe 30 icons in his desktop (its a mess), he loads all kind of mods to his games. I have told my wife and son to bee carefull with email attachments, but are they that i am not so sure. That has been one of my reasons why i have Norton in all machines.

Anyway i think i am going to go with Windows Defender after Norton ends in early December. Will probably have to have a serious talk with my son about internet security.

Thanks for advices and sorry if i have made spelling mistakes or something like that. English is not my native language.

Also getting out of topic so stopping here.[:)]

Hey,

Don't worry about it. I suspect that a very high percentage of forum folks do not have English as their first language! The main thing is for you to enjoy the simulation and share ideas. Thanks for you inputs.

Neither Norton nor MS Defender will protect you from most sophisticated email phishing schemes. Only education will do that. I have two 20-something sons in college and they have issues all the time with school-protected laptops using McAfee and Norton. I don't know of a large corporation using either of those any more. And my sons get Malware all the time on their school laptops. But on their home PCs, with Defender, they have had one in two years.

I personally find most the home PC security companies not very good and causing more problems than they solve.

[ZoroastroBR]

Well, since we are talking about AVs and not the OP, I suggest getting Kaspersky. Best AV out there.

Update is on Steam now [:)]

[thewood1]

Funny, mine updated almost three hours ago.

Thank you!

If easy, could you please post these individually and with save files in the Tech support forum, so that we can begin tracking them? Thanks!

Yeah, sure! You can find the bug report here: Link
The other bug regarding the altitude for support missions can be easily replicated, if you just set the station altitude to e.g. 6000 feet and then observe that the unit will stay e.g. at 25000 feet instead.
