pete52 Posted February 27, 2011 Share Posted February 27, 2011 Hi all, first time user. I've been a CM player for some years now, but have been content with just playing the AI. I recently tried some online contact, only to come up with the problem of my CM version (Afrika Korps). I have the 1.00 version, I have downloaded the patch from this site to upgrade to 1.03. Now for the stupid question - How do I apply the patch? I take it I must specify some form of address when the installation process asks for it. What is the address I type in? If you answer this, please assume total stupidity from me, i.e. go very slowly and explain everything very clearly, I am a total tech idiot. With thanks in advance. Pete. 0 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Wicky Posted February 27, 2011 Share Posted February 27, 2011 Double click the patch, and if it needs to, point it to the CMAK app (exe if PC). Afterwards you might want to purchase (at a nominal sum the 1.04 patch). 0 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
pete52 Posted February 27, 2011 Author Share Posted February 27, 2011 Thanks Wicky for your answer, just to prove my stupidity, the patch is not 'smart'. Once you click on the installation process you come to a section which asks you to 'select destination location'. I presume it wants the path address to the CMAK program. I have pressed 'browse' then looked in my C drive where CMAK is stored, I get various folders- 'misc' / 'new folder' / 'BMP' / 'Run' (which expands to) - 'BMP' / 'open play modules' / 'PBEM' / 'quick battle maps' / 'savegames' / 'scenarios'. Where do I send it? 0 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Erwin Posted February 27, 2011 Share Posted February 27, 2011 to the main CMAK folder (where the .exe file lives). BTW: What does 1.04 give one over 1.03? 0 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Wicky Posted February 27, 2011 Share Posted February 27, 2011 to the main CMAK folder (where the .exe file lives). BTW: What does 1.04 give one over 1.03? It allows CMAK to work with modern 'puters with Vista & Win 7. I needed it and a graphics bmp patch to make CMAK work with an ATI graphics card with Win 7. 0 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
guetapens Posted February 19, 2015 Share Posted February 19, 2015 (edited) You have to pay to patch the game? really? But I just paid for the game I have never come across paid patches in 30 years of gaming, patches are effectively fixes right?

Schrullenhaft Posted February 19, 2015 Share Posted February 19, 2015 If you just purchased CMAK directly from Battlefront recently (not a CDV distributed version from another store/website), then you received the 1.04 version. CMAK originally came out in 2003. The 1.04 patch came out in 2008/2009 (I can't remember) to fix an issue that a number of Vista users were suffereing from at the time. Newer video drivers fixed some of thes issues, but some other graphical anomalys popped up for Radeon users and the 1.04 patch fixed that issue inadvertently. The 1.04 patch was created by the '2nd Programmer' Phil BEFORE he was a Battlefront employee. I'm not sure of the exact reasons for charging for the patch, but it did have to include a different DRM/copy-protection system than what originally came with CMAK. 0 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
user1000 Posted July 23, 2015 Share Posted July 23, 2015 (edited) just applied 1.3 patch found off the web, had to do a little finagle unchecking read only in properties and extracting it into folder was a bear works great though.
