Hi to all! I have not played CS since 2004, and I am interested in getting "Back in the Action"!
I would appreciate it if someone would tell me what is the current software for CS that I should be using. Also, are the Old CS Disks from 2004 still compatible with the current software. The disks I have from 2004 were Europe in Flames, Disk 1/WF and 2 EF II. Disk 2 has an update V1.02.
Thanks for your help and have a great day.
Hi Shep,
Welcome back! The new game can be found here:
http://www.matrixgames.com/products/318/...ign.Series
Buy it, install and update it to version 1.04. You can buy a downloadable version, or for a little more a boxed version plus the download. They include all the old scenarios and a lot of new ones. WF, EF and RS all included in one package and you no longer need the CD in the drive to play the games.
Many new features and unit/weaponry types. I think you're going to love it. Some of the new optional rules, like extreme assault (EA) and variably visibility (VV) can be turned on or off at the beginning of a game, depending on your preferences.
The old Talonsoft CS games don't work with the new versions of Windows. If you have an older operating sytem you can still use them, but you'll probably have problems finding guys to play. I'd advise you buy the Matrix versions and be compatible with the rest of us.
Again, welcome back!
Scud
Hey Shep!
back to CS and the Blitz!!!!
Thanks Scud and Kool Cat!
Thanks for the info and I will buy the matrix version for sure! I have Vista! Will that work OK with the Matrix Version of CS! Thanks again!
Yes, works with Vista, however, some have had issues with white flashes when scrolling. There's a fix, though, that's pretty simple. If it happens to you after you get all installed, post again and I'll find the "fix" for you.
