Re-install sequence


Recommended Posts

Hi all, I hope someone can help, I'm a bit confused.

 

I have CM:BN commonwealth bundle, and the market garden expansion, as well as having purchased v2 and v3 packs, do I install the base game and MG expansion, then v2, and then v3.11?

 

I take it there is no auto-patcher for the more confused members of the audience (ie, me)?

 

TIA for any help.

Start with the help desk, but as previously mentioned the package now is simply a full installer and your license will activate everything you purchased.  Save that installer somewhere else.  If you have to re-download it again you'll be kicking yourself. Personally I haven't had any issues downloading but it does take time.

whow, 10GB??? I'll give it a go...

 

Thanks for the info gents.

I would echo what the others have said about trying the all-in-one installer, then activating from that the parts you have using their keys.

But ... in case you have problems downloading it (or, in some cases AFAIU, old - really old - license keys then *may* not work with the all-in-one to activate those parts you have), here is my "install list", from my folder structure where I've saved the various install files. Pick what you have from this list and install / patch them in this order *should* work ...

1 CMBN game v1.00
2 CMBN patch v1.10
3 CMBN plus CW module game bundle v1.10
4 CMBN plus CW module patch v1.11
5 CMBN plus CW module game update v2.00
6 CMBN plus CW module patch v2.01
7 CMBN MG module game v2.10
8 CMBN patch v 2.11
9 CMBN patch v2.12
10 CMBN upgrade v2.2 engine 3
11 CMBN vehicle pack and patch v3.10
12 CMBN patch v3.11

Hope this may be helpful!

Thanks PhilM, I think that's the second time you've helped me out with a query, and once again, a full and comprehensive reply, thank you.

 

However, I was able to download the 10GB pack first time with no problems, and everything seemed to work, but hopefully this will help out someone else.

Try Downloading the all-in-installer and apply the activations to the game and modules.

Maybe dumb question but I did a search and can only find this thread that's applicable.  Where do I get this 'All-in-one-Installer'?  Customer Downloads?  I bought CMBN/Commonwealth Bundle eons ago (don't have MG) and have it updated to 3.11.  Just built a new desktop and I want to reinstall but I looked in the directory and there are like 10 patches in there.  It would be nice to get an all-in-one file and then just activate.  Is this possible in my situation?

I *think* it is the case that if you log in to your account at BF and find your original order and use the link in that to re-download the file, you will now get the master installer ... as well as all new purchases, all existing / old orders have been changed retrospectively to give you a master installer download, even though that didn't exist when your original order / download was made.

So, short answer is yes I think you can get the master installer ...

Thanks Phil, tried that, no dice.  From what I can see I have to download them all individually again as the file size is the same (i.e. the Commonwealth Bundle is 1.75GB, same as the one I have).  Unless it just has the incorrect d/l size in there?

The BF website on CMBN says:

3- we implemented this system retroactively for all 3.0 Engine Upgrade purchases! Your store download for that purchase now points to a full master installer, including all of the content for Normandy, updated to v3.11. If you ever need to reinstall, that's the only thing you need. And, as per 1- above, this download will always remain up to date in the future.

This is what I was remembering (sort of!) ... you say you have 3.11, so presumably at some point bought v3.0?? What happens if you re-download that purchase, rather than the base game?

I didn't even think to look in the main game page.  Yes, I put in the code for 3.0 and it is a 10GB d/l.  Thanks!
