Install order for all Normandy stuff & patches?


Recommended Posts

Just getting back into the series after being somewhat disappointed with the original Normandy. Bought all the stuff, but after being spoiled by Steam am a little confused what the exact install order should be?

My guess is:

1. Normandy.

2. Commonwealth.

3. Patch v1.11

4. Market Garden + 2.0 combo

As far as I understand, that should be correct.

I haven't messed around with the bundle installer, but I did it like this:

CMBN -> CW module -> 1.11 patch -> 2.0 upgrade -> Market Garden module.

Market Garden requires the 2.0, but I am assuming that the bundle installer will install it first and then the module.

The game has come a long way from 1.0, I hope you will be positively surprised. :)

So rather than "Market Garden + 2.0 combo" or "2.00 upgrade bundle" it should be "Market Garden + 2.10 combo" or 2.10 upgrade bundle".

I share your sentiments of confusion!

But if I understand the logic correctly (which ain't necessarily so ...), until a later, stand alone, game engine refresh to 2.1 (upgrade or patch?) comes out for those who have not bought MG, it is the MG module itself which updates v 2.00 thru 2.01 and to 2.1. So it (my bold bit of your post) should read "MG 2.1 (incl. 2.01) + 2.00 combo" as a literal description of what is included?

These are the instructions, which can be found in the manual (p.9):

1- install the base game, Combat Mission: Battle for Normandy. This will typically

be v1.00 or v1.01.

2- (if available) install the Commonwealth Module. This will update your game

to v1.10.

3- install the CMBN v1.11 patch. You can find it at www.battlefront.com/patches.

4- install the CMBN 2.0 Upgrade, or the 2.0 Market Garden Bundle.

5- use your 2.0 Upgrade license key, or the 2.0 & Market Garden Bundle license

key to activate. This will activate the base game and Commonwealth (if

available), and Market Garden (if you installed the bundle).

5b- install the Market Garden module, unless you have installed the bundle

already in step 3.

5c- use the Market Garden license key to activate the Market Garden module,

unless you have activated it already in step 5.

6- if available, install the next Module.

6b- use your next module license key to activate.

7- Repeat 6 and 6b for all available modules.

8- if available, install the latest patch for CMBN. Usually,only one patch is required

to update all game components, including the base game and modules.

I did as described and everything is working fine.

So do you need to apply the 2.01 patch on the 2.0 game ?? or is there still to come a 2.10 patch to fix everything?

The latter. That step would apply to a post-2.10 patch (e.g. 2.11), if and when released. Manuals have to be written to account for future patching.

I would check in-game to see what actual version the game says you are running. If there is a patch more recent than the currently game-reported version, then likely you'd need to install it.
