So much this.  I've waited so long.

This still hurts my eyes after over 10yrs... I am still using a 1080 screen as well. My previous of a different wider resolution died and to keep my FPS up in high end games I kept the same res. I should go up to a 1440 res monitor but I think that would make the text even smaller.

I use a 3440 x 1440 monitor and CM looks great on it. I don't have a problem reading the text................but I do have glasses.
How much of the screen does your briefing screen fill?

There was a very good PTO mod for the original CMBO that I played the hell out of way back. My dream would be a new version of it.  :dreamer:

A small part in the center. The text is about the same size as you might see in a phone text message. It is easy for me to read, but as I have said I wear glasses and I know that helps.

Although in today's modern games they should auto adjust for different screen resolutions and provide in-game UI scaling options, you can change the Windows setting to scale your display (i.e. 150% etc.) and the game/text will more fill the screen.  Again, you shouldn't have to do it and requires extra step but at least helps for now.

It seems BFC is still planning on releasing Combat Mission Cold War in April.  However the Slitherine /Steam release will be delayed until June in order to add multiplayer support.  Steve at the BFC forum posted about the multiplayer support. Below is part of what he posted. 

We are jointly publishing Cold War with Slitherine.  Until the Slitherine launches there is no Steam version and Slitherine isn't planning on launching until June. 

So why is Cold War going to take a few more months to come out for Slitherine?  Because they asked us to put in some multiplayer support that no Combat Mission has (so far).  And it needs to be extensively tested.  Which is why an otherwise nearly complete Combat Mission game with traditional features isn't being released by Slitherine sooner.


In the same thread Steve implied other CM titles that have and/or will be released on Slitherine / Steam will also get this same multiplayer support.   :)

Just another day on the BF forum ... one demented idiots reaction to BF disagreeing about the thickness of the armour on a Tiger II turret mantlet.

dont eat any peoples, the hat has enough fiber.
Toonces - Don't ask me, I just close my eyes and take it.

Gus - I use sweatpants with flannel shorts to soak up my crotch sweat.

Banzai Cat - There is no "partial credit" in grammar. Like anal sex. It's either in, or it's not.

Mirth - We learned long ago that they key isn't to outrun Star, it's to outrun Gus.

Martok - I don't know if it's possible to have an "anti-boner"...but I now have one.

Gus - Celery is vile and has no reason to exist. Like underwear on Star.

So this is just fancier PBEM?

Or multiplayer-per-side?

I have not used Slitherine /Steam multi-player so I'm not sure how it works.  I suspect for CM it would handle the turns between two players.  Multiple players per side just sounds to good to be true.
