CM 03/04 questions

[John Galt]

I'm home after knee surgery and have been playing the CM 03/04 demo and having a lot of fun (more than I have with previous versions). I have two questions for the CM crowd?

1) When does the demo end? It says X-mas, but I'm still playing in Jan.

2) Is 03/04 available via download? If yes - is there a problem with applying patches to the download version (I seem to remember this being a problem in the past).

Thanks.

You're right in that it is suppose to end around christmas. Maybe it has something to do with the league you chose to play in, hence a different schedule.

No.

FWIW, although there's no downloadable version, I had outstanding success (yet again) with ordering from gogamer.com -- 2nd day shipping option got it from California to Georgia in time for a great gaming weekend.

I would also recommend GoGamer.

Re: Demo Length;

It's actually 6 months; if your league's start date is later than the default, or something, it will run a little longer.

How much does 03/04 cost at GoGamer?

Thanks for the help. I have one more question - I can't seem to unselect "full screen" as an option in the game options menu (it gives some message about my system non supporting it. What are the requirements for de-selecting full screen? And if I could de-select it, would I be playing in a window (which I would prefer)?

Thanks.

Also,

I've been playing CM4, and while I like it, some of the little annoying things are starting to bug me (no transfer activity, strikers scoring all the goals ...)...

What are the new things in CM 03/04? Do they fix the above mentioned problems? IYO, is the upgrade from v4 to v03/04 worth it?

Thanks,

1) by being in 1152*864 or above you'd be supporting the windowed mode

2) else you can do the following:

right –click on your CM desktop icon

click properties

select the “shortcut” tab at the top

go to where it says “target” and type in the following:

"somewhere on your HD\CM 03-04\cm0304.exe" -small_screen -windowed
