Read Full Description

The game has been tested on Windows 7 64-bit, Windows 10 and Windows 11, it works fine. You may experience some small troubles when you play the game on modern systems, check our Guide and Notes for details

Install & play guide:

  • Mount the disc image. You will need the utility for mounting disc image files, like WinCDEmu, UltraISO, Alcohol 52%/Alcohol 120% or Daemon Tools Lite
  • Launch the installation. If the installation doesn't start - try to launch Setup.exe in compatibility mode with old version of Windows (98, 2000 or XP)
  • After you installed the game - install the patches. Please note that the patches are not compatible with Russian version
  • Then use NoCD, simply copy files from the archive and put it into game directory, agree to replace the original files. NoCD showed many generic warnings, but it is safe to use
  • Open the game directory directory and find CM Afghanistan.exe. Right click on CM Afghanistan.exe -> Properties -> Compatibility -> Set "Run this app in compatibility mode with Windows 7" and "Run as administrator"
  • Launch the game and play. If the game doesn't work in compatibility mode with Windows 7 - try to launch it in compatibility mode with other version of Windows (Windows 98, Windows 2000, etc.)

Multilingual version of the game has 6 languages: English, French, German, Italian, Spanish & Polish. You can choose the language in Options

Notes:

  • If the installation doesn't start - try to launch Setup.exe in compatibility mode with old version of Windows (98, 2000 or XP)
  • It is recommended to install all versions of Microsoft Visual C++ Redistributable and NET Framework for the correct work of the game. Also it is recommended to install K-Lite Codec Pack for the correct work of in-game videos
  • The game works on DirectX 9, so if you're using Windows 8, 8.1, 10 or 11 - you need to enable DirectPlay: Go to Control Panel, and select 'Programs'. Select 'Turn Windows features on and off', click on 'Legacy Components' and check the box 'DirectPlay'. Select OK, once the installation is done, restart your computer
  • NoCD for multilingual version showed many generic warnings, all warnings are about suspicious/unsafe file, the usual thing with "cracked" executables, it is safe to use
  • If the game doesn't start after the installation - reload your computer, and try again, it should help. If it didn't work - add CM Afghanistan.exe to the exceptions of DEP (Data Execution Prevention): Go to Control Panel -> System Properties -> Advanced System Settings. From the System Properties dialog, select Settings. Select the Data Execution Prevention tab. Select "Turn on DEP for all programs and services except those I select". Click Add and use the browse feature to show the path to the program executable you want to exclude, in that case CM Afghanistan.exe inside the game folder. Here's the guide with pictures how to add an app to DEP exceptions list
  • According to this thread, multilingual version works with no issues on modern systems, including Windows 10 & 11. Russian version of the game should work fine on Windows 10, but looks like it doesn't work on Windows 11, according to comments in this thread
  • By default, the first time the game is launched, the games internal resolution and refresh rate are set to whatever your desktop display is currently set to, you can change the screen resolution in Options. If you want to run the game in a resolution and refresh rate not listed, you can manually configure these settings by editing the display size.txt file located in your game directory. Simply change the numbers that you see there with the width (in pixels) and height (in pixels) and refresh rate (in Hertz) you wish to run the game. For example, if you want to enable 1440x900 resolution with 75Hz refresh rate, you would delete the numbers in that file and replace with "1440 900 75" (without quotes)
  • If you have problem with broken sound effects or disappearing sound - first try to change the sound settings. If it didn't work - set sound quality to 24 bit, 48000 Hz or 24 bit, 44100 Hz. Read this guide how to do that
  • Demo version contains two scenarios developed specifically for the demo version. Demo version showed some adware warnings because of Battlefront.com ads in the installer, the file is safe to use
  • Even though the game was removed from all digital stores, the official forum is still working, don't forget to check it if you have troubles!
  • You can find some mods for the game on FGM website, also we recommend to check the official forum and search for mods there
