Hi Devs....the game is lagging on my system and i am quite sure its not my PC issue coz its running Battlefield 2042 super smooth. Please help me out.

[Zillu]

In the mission Get To The Engine, I maybe cleared half the map, and now it just crashes randomly even if i don't move my Commandos. Previous missions were fine and I never had any crashes before. Playing in fullscreen and no lag and no other problems so far. Sending dxdiag

[kungFUpanda]

I have exactly the same issue. All the game was perfectly running. At the Get To The Engine mission it always crash to desktop

[KIRIN]

The two bundles on store page may have error, 1% off is a joke right? Remember they were 25% and 15% off respectively.

[⍟<SkYW4LK3R>⍟]

I can start the game normally, but after the three short Intro videos it doesn't go any further. A small window appears in the game that says please wait, and then nothing ..please Help

[Symn03]

Haven't played any of the Commandos games, but just from the trailer it reminds me a lot of the "Shadow Tactics" games - sadly the publisher (Mimimi) have stopped their activities. Imagine how insanely good this would be with the graphics & mechanics of the Mimimi guys... pls fix.
