Erwin Posted September 10, 2021 Share Posted September 10, 2021 Am checking that I have the latest versions of all the CM2 games. I couldn't find a list of all the latest version numbers for each game. Anyone have that, or know where it's listed? Thanks... 0 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

We probably need a thread dedicated to that and pinned. 0 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Erwin Posted September 10, 2021 Author Share Posted September 10, 2021 Also, I do a full reinstall of the latest full "All in One" versions so rarely that I can never remember where to find those files. Can't understand why that's not listed on the BF site in clear English like the "PATCHES" are. Plz remind me where to locate... 0 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I think and it is also my personal experience. If you first uninstall the game on your computer and still have your license key you can download the game again from their website. The game available for download is the latest version. Uninstall with their uninstall app don't use the Microsoft uninstall feature. 0 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I have spoken up about the lack of links to the All-in-One installers several times. If the "My Orders" page actually listed the name of the product ordered, a player could sort it themselves. Just another little thing to frustrate players trying to reinstall. 0 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Thewood1 Posted September 11, 2021 Share Posted September 11, 2021 btw, just to answer your question, unless someone posts the links to all the installers, the only way is to go through all your previous orders by clicking on them until you find the installer. But you have know a little about versions and game engines to make sure you get the full one and not an old one. 0 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Erwin Posted September 11, 2021 Author Share Posted September 11, 2021 Oh, man... Why is the BF site so unhelpful and non-intuitive after how many years (over a decade now)? 0 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Heirloom_Tomato Posted September 11, 2021 Share Posted September 11, 2021 Go to www.Battlefront.com and log in. From here go to the My Account section and then to My Orders. I am going to assume you will have bought the Engine 4 Big Bundle Upgrade, find it in your orders, click on the download link and here you will find the Full installers for CMBS, CMRT, CMFI, CMFB and CMBN. You will then need to find your order for CMSF2 and CMCW and those download links will also bring you to a full installer page. Each of these full installers will give the most current version of each game. 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Howler Posted September 11, 2021 Share Posted September 11, 2021 In addition, every forum has a 'sticky' announcing the latest patch release which may need to be applied if one does not wish to wait for updated all-in-one installers. I'm assuming steam releases are handled more in line with the "steam-way" of distributing updates. 0 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Erwin Posted September 11, 2021 Author Share Posted September 11, 2021 Yeah, but we need all that info in one easy to find location. Have now done that. Hope it's made into a sticky. (We do not all use Steam.) 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Hope it's made into a sticky. (We do not all use Steam.) But you haven't. A new player coming from Steam would be needlessly confused and likely to try patching from your list. I don't use Steam myself but don't wish to add more issues for the help desk to address. Wouldn't it make more sense to 'pin' a more comprehensive list rather than risk corrupting someone's install? Existing forums already have relevant patches pinned and the installers are already present. I'm not seeing the value-add other than post count bloat... 0 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Probus Posted September 12, 2021 Share Posted September 12, 2021 Hi@Howler Folks on Steam will have their games updated automatically. That's one of the good things about Steam. You can also revert to earlier versions if you need to. So I say this to just clarify that this topic would only be useful to folks who don't use Steam. Personally I would love a single thread updated by the moderators that I could refer to. I keep a copy of all my installers on a flash drive so I would like a thread I could follow that is an easy reference and would email me with the release of an update since I'm following that thread. That sounds reasonable to me. 0 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I'm often very good at finding the hardest way to do things. BTW, I still have our epic battle saved . I think I was on the verge of making a comeback after your comeback, that was after my comeback. 0 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Erwin Posted September 12, 2021 Author Share Posted September 12, 2021 All I am doing is providing a useful reference for those who want to reinstall, or ensure they have the latest versions. In addition it points to where to locate the files for d/l. It's something that one does so rarely, that I had a hard time remembering all this stuff and BF site is remarkably unhelpful/uninformative/non-intuitive. So, am making my own self-help notes available to others to ease their frustration. I like buying direct from BF as they get 100% of the money. It's not hard to update from the BF site - once one knows where to look. Why support a middleman like STEAM? 0 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Probus Posted September 12, 2021 Share Posted September 12, 2021 Steam should be considered marketing for Battlefront. For anyone who knows about their games, it is better to buy direct and get a Steam key I would imagine. 0 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Sgt.Squarehead Posted September 12, 2021 Share Posted September 12, 2021 (edited) I haven't bothered yet, but I probably will at some point. Does a Steam install share the folder in Documents with a Battlefront install of the same game, or does it create a sub-directory with a fresh folder? If it's the latter I'll be installing all the games via Steam sooner rather than later.

I tried it once. The steam CMSF2 has the 'Game Files' folders as a subfolder of the Game folder, where the executable is. Same goes for the Slitherine version of CMBS. They do not use the My Documents folder like the Battlefront versions. EDIT: As for Erwin's initial question. This page seems like a good reference for all the latest version numbers: https://www.battlefront.com/patches Edited September 12, 2021 by Kevin2k 2 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Not only you, I am with you there. I remember it was a Microsoft recommendation for developers to use the 'My Documents' for such, introduced at the time of Windows Vista. 0 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
