Hello Boldy1989,

Sorry to hear you are getting a blank blue screen. As mentioned on other threads, this is caused by the browser unable to support either WebGL or a specific hardware feature of WebGL. Often this is caused by an older operating system, older hardware, and/or older version of a web browser.

Since you mentioned you tied the most recent chrome version on your computer, it might be worth installing the Edge browser or Firefox and give them a try.

You are probably already aware, but worth repeating, Windows 7 is no longer supported by Microsoft and is now considered a security risk. If possible, we recommend upgrading to Windows 10. It will make your system more secure and will probably correct any issues you are having with running the game.

Good luck and we hope to see you on the battlefield again,

The BATTLE FORCES Team

Hello Everyone,

Great to see players returning and having a good time.

We are planning to commission some new standard maps.

The current shortlist of ideas in order:

• Arctic Ocean
• Middle East
• Antarctica
• South East Pacific
• Mediterranean Sea
• The Caribbean

How do these sound? Which one or two would you be looking forward to the most?
Also, any particular other region/scenario you would like to play?

As always, thank you for continuing to spread the word about BATTLE FORCES!

The BATTLE FORCES Team.

Hello Everyone,

We have released our first YouTube video promoting BATTLE FORCES.

Check it out at: https://youtu.be/Fz2r4FmbhkU

Let us know what you think of it.

Some of you may notice that InGeneral, pulsar110 and McCarthaigh are immortalized in the video. It includes a video clip from a currently active Indian Ocean game. Sorry MrKim, you had already completed your turn, so your name does not show up in the turn waiting list. Next time.

Thank you everyone for continuing to promote BATTLE FORCES. Please use the YouTube video link above to help spread the word even further.

See you on the battlefield,
The BATTLE FORCES team

Thank you McCarthaigh for joining us again. Always a strong player.

Hello Pulsar (and MrKim),

That is great! Thank you Pulsar for posting. We have actually seen a few sign ups that probably came from that.

Putting together a youtube introduction video is on our todo list. It takes time to make a professional looking one, but we will rush one out soon and update it at a later date.

Also, for a limited time we would like to encourage everyone in our community to also create a BATTLE FORCES trailer video. Players who submit a captivating video of sufficient quality will be awarded a free year of Premium or Extreme Membership based on the judgement of the BATTLE FORCES Team. All submissions will become property of Human Cube Inc and will be used for promotional purposes and may be mixed into a larger video presentation.

Keep spreading the word!
The BATTLE FORCES Team.

Hello pulsar110,
