Comanche 4 problem with patches 1.01.XX

Hello all,

I have a problem with comanche 4, but only with the 1.01.XX versions. Not with the 1.00.08 from the CD-Rom and not with the first patch 1.00.12.

I wrote to novalogic support three months ago, and only got an answer that the problem is known and they are working on it. Since then there were no new patch released, nor I have found any workaround in the FAQ on their homepage yet.

My problem is that when I target an object (heli, tank, building, speedboat ...) it appears destroyed in the green MFD target display, altough it is not destroyed.

Please have a look at this picture with a BMP:

Hope you can help me, because I don't think novalogic further bugfix comanche 4.

System: PIII 550 Mhz, GeForce 2 MX, tried following detonators: 7.52, 12.41, 12.90, 29.42 (23.11 and 21.83 don't worked at all); Windows 98, 448 MB Ram.

Kind regards

I can tell you I have that same problem. Sometimes when I target a tower and before fireing the tower is falling down in the MFD. I did notice that sometimes it works fine and haven't taking the time to notice if I do something diffrent. I don't know of anyone else having this problem and know what to do about it, I'd sure like to know myself.

Then it must be something which only occure on specific hard- and software. What hardware (Graphic,CPU,RAM...) do you have. Win98?

I'm using Window98se on my machine. Have a Nivida GeForece2 MX200 32MB and DDR mem and cpu to handle most any game on the market. I plan to do some testing this week with a mission I designed that has that problem in it to see what’s going on. In the back of my mind I'm thinking there was some setting that affected that problem but not a setting that was for that purpose. I'll have to search this out again and see what’s up cause you have me curious to this problem because I remember at the time it did bother me but I uploaded the missions to checkpointdelta and forgot about it after that.:cool:
