Well, I relented and bought the bloody thing :-)

Boot camp is broken in v5.60.021beta. CTD's abound - try selecting a boot camp tutorial and you'll be back to the desktop pronto.

cheers Chris


Thanks for your purchase Chris.

We'll look at the bootcamp. Thanks for bringing it to our attention.

As it's a more or less public beta I think feedback is important?



Absolutely! Even though we do our own testing as thoroughly as our testers systems and availability will allow we could never hope to assemble a testing team that matches the broad cross-section of machine combinations, OS settings and program usage that having a public beta testing program allows. It's the same reason why other developers use the same approach. Of course you know that with your background in programming. ;) But I'm sure others might benefit from knowing this.

I'll pass your input about the moveable historical AT guns for static BG's along and we'll give it some consideration. Since the guns aren't really a part of any strategic echelon but instead historical fixed installations that had an impact on the operation I'm not sure what can be done. Implying they're attached to a strategic BG is against the intent of this feature.

Nothing to worry about to much :)

I also have noticed the battle-messages disappearing, but just hit the up-arrow in the bottom of the message field twice, and the messages re-appear.

Also, i noticed the fastest runner ever in the game. A had a 60mm mortar team, american, where i had two guys left, a gunner and one assistant. The gunner was injured but when i ordered move fast i have never seen such a speed before. Was quite funny to see. He ran half the map in like 40-50 secs :), as a gunner also! :P.

Sound queue 'wir sind under beschuss' is playing a lot but I am playing as the Americans. Should I normally be hearing this?

In the battle message section it indicates I've just taken a victory location when in reality, I've just lost it.

Regards, Henrik.

Status: offline 		Good suggestion Henrik. Would help folks who could not remember the moves they made on the strategic screen.

Chris we'll look at what you're reporting. Are those two separate issues or are they happening together for you? i.e. you hear that cue as you're losing a VL? It's not uncommon to hear some of the other sides stress queues. That's supposed to be happening to a degree but I'm not sure exactly the rules circumstances that determine when. Would have to ask about that. But that queue should not be heard when you lose a VL as allies. The text is not displaying correctly regardless.

This can be fixed by showing the deploy zones for the initial engagement. Accurate deploy zones are only shown on meeting engagements where two BGs enter an empty map on the same strategic turn.

Yes, feedback on the these beta releases is definitely important! The more things reported with details on how to recreate the problem the quicker they can be addressed/fixed....

1. Germans shout "Granate!" when they are getting shot at regardless of distance! I'm sure you know this means grenade so you should probably get rid of that unless you can make it so they shout it when grenades are actually being thrown.
2. Machine gun sounds not consistent with the amount of rounds expended. I think its the Bren gun in particular. Perhaps for others.
3. It'd be cool if you could put in unit descriptions again like in the original CC2 game.

Apart from that keep up the good work!

Status: offline 		It's always recommended to start new campaigns or operations since data conflicts can exist if data has been changed within the update. You can always try it but if you think you might want to return to the original GC or op back it up (make a copy) before trying it in the new build.
