CMBB Dying

[Mad Russian]

MR,
Stop with the Negative waves Moriarty! I am betting that the same poor sap who emailed you that he had to drop out of your tournament due to Vista is probably now playing game after game of CMBB until the wee hours of the morning. The reason I am willing to bet that is because I know for a fact that there are many Vista users out there playing CMBB! That is not my opinon, that is a fact. If you need instructions on how to configure your Vista to play CMBB, I would suggest Shooting Bootie an email and I am sure he will walk you through it.

I know there are many early Vista users that managed to make the game work but from what I've seen not any of the ones buying it now.

The issue is the way the graphics cards display. The newer graphics cards seem to not support the graphics in CMBB. Again, all I hear are complaints of CMBB not working. Nothing for CMAK because apparently it uses a different graphics setup.

What I may do is to try putting CMBB on my wifes PC and see how it runs. She runs a new Vista laptop. From what I've read the graphics won't run on it. But I've not tried it.

Could be that he's playing CMBB but to get out of a tournament before it starts all you have to do is say I'm leaving.......not make up excuses.

I know that you want to have a discussion about this but I am still firmly of my opinion that CMBB and all CM will be around for years to come and your not going to change my mind. So I guess this is all I really have to say about it other than five years from now you can come over to the FGM and play in one of our Tournaments that will still be using CMBB!

That will work. But within the next year I'm going to have to buy a new computer and all I see tells me that CMBB wont' be being played on it.

I've followed the Vista threads here with great interest because I'm at the point where I'm going to have to bite the bullet pretty soon and upgrade.

I will agree with you about one thing though. Damn BFC and their ways for discontinuing CMx1! Those dirty, rat B@&%&^ds! (But if the ever do put out the CMC game and it is good, then I guess I will forgive them.)

For me personally I guess this lies at the bottom of the issue. BFC wants us to buy CMC. Yet it's known that Vista causes problems with the graphics in CMBB but not CMAK. In that case it seems only reasonable that they do a patch for CMBB where those graphics work with Vista. Instead of leaving the systems behind.

Are you running a Vista machine or do you still have another OS on your system?

I run XP and really don't want to upgrade to Vista. While my wife has a Vista machine and loves it I've heard and read far too much about how it affects games to be happy with upgrading to it.

At least I have a PC and not a Mac and have played alot of these games to begin with.

Good Hunting.
