Question: Does the Build 936.6 update have to be applied to a v1.11 SR7 installation or can it be applied to a Build 936.5 update?

You should be able to install it over the 936.5 build.

Also, I'm more than a little surprised to see another Wyomingite on here. I live in Laramie, currently finishing up school. I'm originally from Cheyenne.

Well, it didn't work for my install. I ended up reinstalling everything and am back to v1.11 SR7. Yes, I backed up but things just didn't work correctly so I reinstalled. Kind of a pain.

Sorry if this has been discussed and I didn't see it.

Is anyone else seeing issues with aircraft course changes?
I change a course and the plane just oscillates a few degrees either direction from its current course.

Have a look at build 936.6. It's been fixed in that build.

Just went from RC B936.2 to B936.8 and program won't open. Says it is missing a command.exe file. B936.2 worked fine. Do I have to download the builds serially (936.2, 936.3, 936.4. . . ) or what is going on?

Check that you virus scanner has not removed it. That happens with my scanner; I get alerted that it is suspect because it is very new file.

Wow - massive performance increase and UI responsiveness compared to 1.11 SR7 (the current Steam version).

I have not played CMANO in a while and therefore not used 1.11 as I remember it. Booted a rather massive scenario I did myself way back when during the beta (Baltic Storm - available in the workshop) that I use as I want to see that it still works :) It has been upgraded incrementally but contains a lot of old stuff so it is nice to see if it still works in new versions...

In 1.11 SR7 it really runs very sluggish, and one of the main problems is that the WPF (?) UI seems to have been updated and does not render well at all (Windows 10 x64 creators update - Nvidia 970). At many times the UI controls in the right pane (unit info) does not "paint" and I get grey unpainted arifacts etc. And the scenario besides acts different than before in some occations where it feels "unexpected" as Units do not follow their orders (someone fired an early strike on a Swedish ship etc). Just did one playthrough "without interaction" before I went to the forum to find information about the "paint problem" in the UI and found this patch...

Loaded this RC, and it feels noticeably faster than any previous version I have tested, and the UI renders correctly - even under heavy load (15-30 sec pulse interval and massive action). When clicking between different units there is a noticeable reduction of the time it takes to update the side panels (and they render correctly). Seems like a winner!

Without further information as it would require a more scientific test approach with repeated tests and validation against previous data my old "test scenario" plays out better than any time previoulsy. Waves of bombers tasked with targets do not end up flying in circles and get "lost" after evading SAM:s. They actually resume their missions etc. Missions that previoulsy felt like they "got lost in the mess" now go through. Feels better than any test I have done just from a gut feeling.

Thanks! /Mazex

OK - a bug report for Build 936.9 (but it might be from a previous version).

When I try to add a new mission from the mission editor a modal dialog is opened - but that dialog is too small, is not resizable and has no scroll bars so impossible to create new missions...

Windows 10 x64 Creators update - all updates to .NET framework etc.

Sweet - that did the trick.

So - the installer just needs some love then to fix this.

9 updates in 17 days for build 936! More than one every 48 hours. What have you guys been drinking? Well done, in any case. I really admire you.
I get the impression, though, that after 4 years of CMANO each patch faces diminishing returns. Also I suspect that fixing one bug often causes another one to crop up. These are just conjectures on my part. I'm a polisci major after all from way back when the most a computer could do was spew out punch cards and work with something called Fortran.
Anyway, perhaps you could take a break from patches and do a deep "scrub" of the game's software. I bet a lot of now superfluous lines of code would emerge.
Keep up the good work!!

Interesting point. I've seen in one interview somewhat recently a developer said that they are looking at the possibility of moving onto a sequel, given its age. Though in that same interview, a question was posed that if given a choice between only a consumer or commercial version, they would choose to sell only the commercial/industry versions. I can look but I don't have off the top of my head the source of the interview. If I can find it, I'll post it.

So it seems, and this is only me speculating (so don't come after my head), that if the developers continue to see success in the consumer version, it may not be TOO long before we see "CMANO 2". Or if they don't continue to see success (more speculation), they might focus on the commercial version. In which case I might just have to form a corporation to buy a copy

Running build 936.6 on a 4k laptop screen. I've got issues with how the game displays.
1. The message log is too small to read. (I have Windows 10 font set to +250%.)
2. Under the game menu toolbar there is a black information window, "Time (and then it has day/month/year, local and Zulu, game time left), and Altitude". This is in a black box with white font. It overlays and blocks the entire second row of the tool bar. I cannot pause the game or hit any other button on that row.

1. I've deleted the Command.ini file, closed out, restarted. No change.

2. I've run the PreRequisites folder as suggested in the 936.1 post. No change.

I'm happy to modify my .ini file, but I'd rather find a better solution.

How do we get this game to play nice with a 4k screen?

Thanks,
Ken
