Well, I was looking into it and unfortunately it seems I may not be able to do a return based on GOG's refund conditions. I did not experience any technical issues that prevent me from playing the game and I had already downloaded and installed CoI so I might be out of luck. :-/
Is there any redeeming value at all? I am a little disappointed with my decision.
Edit: I have contacted GOG with a request for a refund anyway but considering their policies I am not holding my breath. |

When I woke up today I saw that I had one more suggestion from GOG to get the Scenario Editor working in CC3. Lo and behold, the simple fix worked and I can now get it working.
For Scenario Editor, please:
- Launch the game.
- Select: "Play a game".
- Return back to the main menu(press 'back' or 'menu').
- Select: "Create a Scenario".
This is what worked for me. Now, the question is, is it still worth owning both versions? |

Thank you for all the help y'all. I tried just about everything and I never did manage to get the scenario editor working.
But, since it was on sale over at GOG, I decided to pick up a copy of Close Combat: Cross of Iron today. Fortunately this version of the game doesn't seem to be plagued with any of the problems I was having. |

I managed to get the game settings to persist by reinstalling the game as administrator and allowing the game to run as administrator when it starts. Unfortunately, the game still crashes every time I try to use the scenario editor.
I have tried running in compatibility mode but that does not make any difference. I really hope I can figure out to get the scenario editor working.

It's a long shot but you might need to make some firewall settings adjustments. When using Zone Alarm and trying to use the scenario browser for CC5 to open a saved file I needed to give it access permissions to the executable. It may be something similar with CC3? If you have no luck then do get in contact with GOG via the support ticket.

Thank you for the suggestion but, I have already granted permission for the executable in my firewall settings. Maybe I missed a step somewhere? I do not use Zone Alarm, only the Windows firewall.
I have already put a ticket in at GOG yesterday and they gave me pretty much the same suggestions that people here have. I let them know that I managed to fix the game settings issue but the scenario editor is still causing the game to crash. Hopefully someone will be able to help me get this working. |

Hello, been a member here for a while, first time posting.
I am having a couple issues with the copy of CC3 I got from GOG and could use some help.
1. Every time I try use the scenario editor the game crashes. When I have the game launched and click "Create A Scenario" the screen goes black for a few seconds and then the game crashes. I am running the game on Windows 10 Pro 64 bit.
2. The in game options keep getting reset whenever my computer is restarted, all of the settings will stay the way the are until then. For example I have set up my resolution, media options, monitors, status indicators, and player name. They will all stay the way I have them set and the game will work fine, they will persist even when I exit the game and start it again. But, once I have shutdown my computer and boot up again, when I go back into the game, I have to reset all of my options again.
Does anyone else have these issues and/or know a solution to the problems I am having?
I am running the game on Windows 10 Pro 64 bit. |
