Really am liking this game...

(thanks US Brake)... Laughing

Yeah seconded that for CC.

Thanks thumb on the mods.

Well my son and I play ASL, but he is not so much into CC, he plays a little Steel Panthers but mostly for gaming he plays XBox.

Man, he makes it look so easy...lol.

In the scenario 'A Day in Russia' it did not seem so easy for me. May I'll I'll try the CG, I don't know yet...

Thanks US_Brake, went through all 5 tutorials yesterday and did 'A Day in Russia', lost the Stug early, in the end the Russians called a Truce and I did not know how to accept it so I clicked the truce button and apparently that causes a cease fire. My command group had one soldier left standing, my guy was unconscious and one killed.

Going to take me some time learning this game, real time combat is different then IG-UG systems that I am used to.

Big learning curve but so far I do like CC:COI.

Thanks for the tips.

Still feel lost in the woods...lol

Tejszd,

Many thanks!

That did the trick.

Bizarre, but works fine.

Maybe it's a 64 bit issue?

Any ideas, pointers or help on why Matrix Games, Close Combat COI wont run on W7 64 bit O/S?

I thought that this Matrix version of CC COI was supposed to be Windows 7 compatible?

I have also tried to change the exe to run in all compatibility modes and all fail, the closet was Windows 95 when I saw a mouse cursor and then it just CTD.

This is a real bummer. Twisted Evil

Dang I spent the last 4 hours reading through the manual, after installing the game this morning and applying the 3.60 patch only to find out that every time I load the game all I get is an error Close Combat Error dialog box that says:

"Unable to get format on stream"

This happens on both the Matrix shortcut icon (Cross of Iron Game Menu) and the Command Centre.

I am running Windows 7 with all the latest and greatest updates. I have several java based compilers running and I have installed Visual Studio (I am a programmer by trade) so not sure why this won't work on my system.

Has anyone else had problems with W7 and CC COI?

I can't believe the game won't even run on my machine, I have plenty of other modern games installed with no issues.

Thanks US Brake, I'll check into the GameRanger thing if I get to a point of wanting to do h2h. I am assuming that is similar to the Matrix thing Battle HQ or something?

Almost done reading the main manual, and the I wanted to finish reading the Grand Campaign manual thing.

I am downloading all the maps/plugins and scenarios from Matrix ftp site now. I installed about 4 map packs for plugins I maybe interested in the future.

But this morning after another pot of coffee I am going to walk through the tutorials and run a scenario or two to get my feet wet.

Hello, I am a complete newbie to this series of games, although I have been playing board war games since 1977, and computer war games since 1992, I have never ventured much into the CC series, I think I may have downloaded a Russian Front demo from MS way way back but nothing much.

I am a big time fan of Steel Panthers WW2 from the SP Cammo guys, and as far as board games goes Advanced Squad Leader is still the King of them all (I have been playing ASL since 1987 and still play it face to face to this day, in fact I have been teaching my 14 year old son how to play and we just got him into his first taste of tanks...lol).

Anyway, I slowly reading through the COI manual and found this page. I just install the latest update from Matix and found a ftp link that I put in FileZilla which is allowing me to download quite a lot of scenarios, mods, and plugins.

I must say with the mods and plugins I am a bit overwhelmed especially since I have not even yet played the default game.

So my first question for now is not about the default game in general, I think I can figure that out myself, but what is all the mods, plugins and what not, and even though my COI is an East Front game why are their plugins for say NA, Grossdeutchland, the Pacific, the West Front, etc?

Oh, and lastly could some kind soul post a few links that maybe of use or helping out a new (old) guy?

Thanks, I'll probably mostly play solo but one never knows.
