OK. Please forgive me in advance - I know this subject has been beaten to death.

Long story short - SWMBO broke my PC and I had to start over and reload everything.

I have re-read the FAQ over and over.

This statement may be what is messing me up - "You need to own Microsoft’s Combat Simulator 3. Install it first but no need to run."

So, I must install this CFS before starting the UE download? I may have misunderstood that this was no longer needed.

At least point me in the right direction so I can understand my lack of memory.

For legal purposes and M$ Copywrite protection, you must own a copy of CFS3 winkngrin , but to play WOFF UE, you no longer need it installed on your HDD/SSD.


CPU = i9 11900K
GPU = RTX 3080 Ti
Monitor = ASUS ROG Swift PG32UQX 2160p G-sync

Yes, I have had a copy for years and have always used it accordingly in the past on all of the older versions of OFF, WOFF, etc.


I did the UE download, the Microsoft Visual C thing, the Directex thing and the Skins pack. After I hit the Go to the Field selection, I received two messages, one about CFS and one about the MS Visual C things not working.

SWMBO???? that is???
remove Woff and Cfs3 if being installed
Stop your virus scanner, plug out your internetcable if you not trust this as being safe.
install Woff without CFS3
If I well remember Woff has include some files that contain directX and the MS-C, find them and run the .exe files.

Run Woff now.

You need to also install the latest update for WOFF.
The FAQ has very step by step install instructions and talks about updating etc.
See sections 2,3 and read through slowly.
See section 44 for WIndows 10 (and there's quite a few others have good help and tips).
