Cross Com Will not work Please Help.

[Mjblount]

I am on the mission VIP2 Down or whatever its called. I have Gotten to the part where you have to use a airstrike to destroy the aa tanks. When i scroll to the airstrike on cross com no menu will pop up. I have tried to rebind the cross com key it doesnt work. Ive restarted the mission it doesnt work. Nothing i have tried will allow me to use the airstrike. So i am stuck until i can fix it. Do any of you have any suggestions?

have you updated to the 1.35 patch?

I'm pretty sure that I'm runn the 1.35 patch and I have the same issue, the cost com won't come up for the air strike and rebinding it doesn't fix it either

I also can't get the cross com to work for any of the team and the f1 thru f4 keys don't work either. So far the onely way to move the tema via first person is for exampe to hit 1 1 get get team mate 1 to move. I can't figure any key stroke for the other commands.

Yep, the solution given by K@WT, above, works.

The remarkable thing is, this is such a SIMPLE fix that it's bizarre that anyone would fail to implement it on a release, on any platform.

Of course, Steam no longer sells this game, so I guess I shouldn't be shocked that the problem isn't being fixed by them. (Technically, they should require the vendor to fix it, as I'm not sure that they are legally allowed to "alter" a product!)

But that's ONE WORD, in ONE CONFIG FILE, which needs to be altered, in order for the game to operate as designed.

And, let's be clear... I've owned this game for years and never played it, because of this program error which has, evidently, always been there. I'd start the first level and never make it past the "get your teammates" bit.

It's a terrible bit of programming... and a total lack of documentation, to boot... which makes the issue even worse. I kept trying to figure out what I was not understanding, and what I was supposed to be doing that I wasn't in order to give orders to my squad.

And then, I discover that I was doing it right all along, and that the problem, all along, was a silly programming mistake which nobody ever bothered to fix. Technically, not even a "programming error" for that matter, just a "config file error."

I've slowed down my game purchases in the past few years... for one part, because I already have a ton of them, but for another, because I'm sick and tired of buggy, unplayable pieces of @#$* being foisted on me.

I pretty much shop GoG these days, if I shop at all.
