Install Frustration

Recommended Posts

Please can someone help me understand how I get these games installed?

With different modules, different activation processes, different patches and different engines, it's an absolute minefield.

I have

Shock Force (Gamersgate version)
Shock Force NATO
Shock Force British Forces
Afghanistan
Fortress Italy
Normandy
Normandy Commonwealth
Normandy Market Garden
Red Thunder
Black Sea

I also bought the upgrade for Shock Force to make it the Battlefront version, upgrade of the engine for BN to v2 and v3

Afghanistan, Fortress Italy and Black Sea (I think) aren't any problems. I have no engine upgrades for those and so they are just the base game...no need for anything else to be installed.

My confusion is with Shock Force and Normandy (due to the engine upgrade actually)

So my understanding would be this

For Shock Force
Combat Mission Shock Force
Combat Mission Shock Force patch 110
Combat Mission Shock Force British Forces
Combat Mission Shock Force NATO
Combat Mission Shock Force patch 121
Combat Mission Shock Force patch 131
And that is CM:SF done

For Normandy
Normandy
Normandy Commonwealth
Normandy Market Garden
Normandy v2 Upgrade
Red Thunder
Normandy v3 Upgrade
 

Does that seem correct? I'm extremely confused. I know this is the general discussion forum, but as my post was about ALL CM modules, it didn't fit into an individual one

Thanks for your help.

There's an additional issue here.

For Shock Force, I believe the 1.10 patch transferred the game from the Gamersgate version to the BF version.

But - following the install process above for Shock Force didn't work.
Installed SF
Installed Patch 110
Installed Marines
Installed British Forces
Installed NATO
All good so far
Installed 121 - game reverted to only showing the core SF modules

What I don't understand is why is the 1.21 SF Retail Patch released on 2013 and the 1.31 patch released on 2010? Also - as the 1.21 patch was released in 2013, why does it "remove" the Marines, BF and NATO modules from the game?

When should the 1.21 patch be installed??
