For me, its more of a retro thing. Its no where near the sophistication of SB, and there in also lies an attraction to a switchology drill versus a couple keyboard presses. That's my like of it though, other opinions may vary.

I enjoy retro as much as the next guy, but they never play right on new systems.

Surprisingly, it plays really well, though the graphics are a bit dated. Still, overall, not bad. Also, I think part of the attraction is it has the atmosphere that pulls you into the game more so then SB. While I truly like how SB has evolved, it was the campaign, the named crews and your platoon that continued the fight through the campaign of M1TP2.

When were you in A Troop. I was there 02-05.

Missed you by a few years and was in 4-2 by then. Good and bad times. Anyway, give it a try sometime, M1TP2. Its really not that bad and as stated, has some immersion that can be lacking in other newer Sims.

BTW, wasn't SFC Perry your PEG? I think we spoke a while back about our time in RSTA.

Hi all.
I cannot get this game to work and the links do not extract when downloaded from the zeus site ie: The m1tp2 patch does not extract correctly.

Can somebody just upload all the correct files here please to save me wasting time and running around in circles with no success.

Thanks.

Confirming that the "explore" bat along with Nglide and the experimental exe patch have made running M1TP2 on Win 7 with the latest Nvidia driver - successful. No CTD or freeze upon completing a mission.

Does anyone have the English 1.1 patch for this game? I could only find the German 1.1 patch.

Wow.

A BIG THANK YOU from me, Agathosdaimon!

cheers

I got my (german) version of M1TP2 working on my Win7 64 bit system at 1920x1080 resolution without any menu colours problems! Amazing work!


Just one thing: I still get the CTD at the end of a mission.


Using Ver 1.1 of M1TP2, Nglide, the experimental patch for 1.1 and the w7ddpatcher.

do you get it every time? It sounds like you have everyting in place that i do, so i am not sure what is causing the ctd for you - does this happen with each ingame graphics selection?

One thing i think may play a part is what kind of graphics card you have - on my comp i have 2 to choose from - the intel one and the nvidia one, i find the intel one works best for old games

have you played around with the compatibility settings?

Yeah, getting the CTD at the end of a mission every time. No matter what mission or campaign. I tried all kinds of compatibility options, didn't help. Switching between directx and glide modes also didn't help.

I do have a NVidia GTX 760, even tried a few (much) older drivers, didn't help either.


nope

It's possibly worth mentioning here that Steel Armor: Blaze of War looks well cool and very similar to the feel of the old M1 Tank Platoon, I just noticed it on Steam today.
