Been away for a while and am unsure about the 1.11 patch and version 2.0. Seems like some people have been having trouble with both of them. Will the next module come out as a package with the new module plus patch 1.11 and version 2.0. Any help will be appreciated. Thanks in advance.

The major problem people are having is that they don't read the readme directions and are surprised to see weird graphics and text caused by their mods. You are supposed to uninstall ALL mods before applying the 1.11 and 2.0. versions. This means take them out of your /data/Z folder. Once the upgrades are done then you can safely put mods back in the folder. Some mods are not compatible with 2.0 - especially uniform mods.

Georgie,

The majority of problems seem to revolve around continuing current battles. There IS a method to take a current battle in v1.10 and update it so it will run in v1.11. However, it is NOT foolproof. It will PROBABLY work...but may not. Likewise, battles in v1.11 CAN be updated to v2.0, but there is a possibility that battle update will fail.

The patch, v1.11, and the upgrade, v2.00, work.

It is BEST to update to v1.11, THEN apply the v2.00 upgrade.

However, if you have a particular battle in which you've invested a lot of time and effort, you may not want to gamble with it by updating THAT battle.

(FWIW, my experience is that the larger the savegame file, meaning the more complex the game, the higher the likelihood that the update process will not work. There are incredibly complex interactions which are not all fully understood going on under the hood in each savegame. Every turn is unique. There is no way to test every savegame update permutation.)

See this: http://www.battlefront.com/community/showthread.php?t=107758 for information about how to have v1.10 (or v1.00), v1.11, AND v2.00 all running on your computer at the same time.

If you keep 3 installs, then you can use v1.10 to run your old savegames. Likewise v1.11 and v2.00.

Once you wrap up your old games, you can delete the old CMBN installs.

Post if you have any more questions.

If you like to Play By E-Mail, there are issues with 2.0.

If PBEM is not something you care about, then you are safe to upgrade to 2.0.

I have several v2.0 pbem games going on at the moment, with no problems. All were FRESHLY started games under v2.0.

Are your problems with games started under v2.0? Have you posted in the tech support forum?

Ken
