The patch has just been released. It's a fairly big patch. The Battlefront version skipped the 1.02 patch but it is part of the 1.03 patch. Here are the patch notes from the ReadMe:

https://www.battlefront.com/patches
 

********************************
v1.03 PATCH NOTES
********************************

PBEM++ FIXES

* Version check added to Steam version

* Added ability to delete a player's own Challenges

* Brackets with number at the end of Challenge names have been removed

* Login button in Options has been renamed


********************************
v1.02 PATCH NOTES
********************************

NEW FEATURES

* Slitherine PBEM++ capability has been added. The game engine manual (found in game install directory) details this system on pages 30-31. (Windows only)

QUICK BATTLES

* Adjusted point values of most tanks and tank hunters. Purchase cost was increased by 15-25%, depending on the specific model, with more modern models tending towards the higher end of this range.
* Thermal sights on a vehicle contribute more to raising purchase cost.

VEHICLES AND EQUIPMENT
* Tanks without laser rangefinders are battle sight zero'd to 1200 meters.
* TOWs should now cause major suppressive effects / injuries if fired indoors.
* Fixes to minor artwork issues with BMP-2 / BMP-2K.

TO&E AND FORMATIONS

NOTE: Most of the changes listed here will not be reflected in scenarios created before v1.02, and will only appear in newly created scenario files using v1.02.
* Added x2 rifles with grenade launchers to US Engineer squads.
* Changes to US Infantry Company Weapons Platoon:
    - Weapons Platoon HQ now has x3 men (a platoon XO and a radioman added), and a Jeep with driver.
    - Added a driver to the jeeps of the mortar teams. The jeep also stocks extra mortar ammo now.
    - 60mm Offmap option will now properly have x3 mortars.
    - Weapons Platoon now has the option to use 81mm mortars instead of 60mm mortars.
* US Infantry Battalion Mortar Platoon now has option to be either M29A1 81mm mortars, or off-map M107mm mortars (was previously just 81mm mortars).
* US Bradley Mech Infantry Rifle Company fire support team's Bradley swapped for an M113.
* Added US fire support formations for sections of x3 60mm mortars and x3 81mm mortars.
* Added Soviet 2S3 formations equipped with cluster ammunition.

BUG FIXES

* FIXED: Some minor flaws in the logic that assigns team equipment.
* FIXED: M113 series vehicles were seeing through smoke.
* FIXED: Various crashes.

That appears to be the case, yes. For every title. Unpleasant surprise is exactly correct.    Dave

PBEM++ is run by Slitherine. Steam has nothing to do with it.

This is very important! Mac does not get PBEM++ and will not. It is a Windows only app.

They have it as of yesterday. Monday maybe? Tuesday? I don't know for sure. Once it's out of our hands it's out of our control.

I can dig it. I feel the same....And I don't even have a Mac

I have Windows and I don't have it either. I don't like to do business with Steam which maybe the reason.

The BF patch (not steam) for Windows has PBEM++

Thanks do I have to install it on every game?

Maybe eventually there will be a patch for other games. This is a patch for CW.  Only.

OK, so let's do an overview of the versions for CMCW:

  • BFC Windows (has PBEM++)
  • BFC Macintrash (does not have PBEM++)
  • Matrix Windows (has PBEM++), different DRM
  • Steam Windows (has PBEM++), provided by matrix but not identical to matrix build

Hopefully that eliminates any rest of clarity.

Except for #2  (Mac OS X), that's the same situation as other titles (other than CM), that have several distribution paths. C:MANO and CMO, for example, have two of those and the same things apply. Most of those of course, don't even have a Mac OS X version.

Hmmm I thought the Matrix/Steam version is the same?

Things usually have to be somewhat repackaged for Steam. Things don't go in the same places.

Nope.

You can download the Matrix version in your user account at Slitherine and use a serial to activate it.

I’ve downloaded the Windows patch and installed in the correct directory (same as the original install) under my Boot Camp drive (on my Mac). I can see that various files have been updated, but the game won’t run after the install. I’ve tried running as admin and even re-activating, but the game won’t run. No error message - just nothing happens.

Any help as to what I am doing wrong would be appreciated.
