Madmatt Posted February 3, 2004 Share Posted February 3, 2004 Wow, in the old days it would only take 1.8 seconds from the time I uploaded a patch to the time someone posted that they found it. Times, they are a changing. Anyway, as the subject says, THE PATCH IS READY!!! Now, this is VERY VERY IMPORTANT, unlike all past patches, this version WILL WORK WITH THE CDV VERSION! In fact, due to some unresolvable issues with CDV's copy protection we STRONGLY urge CDV customers to download the patch from us directly or from any of the mirrors listed on our download page. Be sure and read the directions on the CDV version download page though as the patch needs to be installed a little differently due to changes in the CDV versions directory structure. We can only confirm that the TCP bug that occured is fixed in OUR patch. If CDV eventually releases the patch, that problem may still occur so we say again, if you have the CDV version of CMAK DOWNLOAD THE PATCH FROM HERE OR FROM ON ONE OF THE LISTED MIRRORS ON OUR DOWNLOAD PAGE! Here is a link to the Download page: http://www.battlefront.com/products/cmak/cmak_download.html Readme follows: Combat Mission: Afrika Korps v1.01 Patch Readme... VERSION COMPATIBILITY NOTE Games saved in v1.01 can't be loaded in by the older version. If you are playing others by email or TCP/IP, make sure you all upgrade to v1.01. TRANSFERING PBEM FILES FROM VERSION 1.0 TO 1.01: 1.) In CMAK version 1.0, load the PBEM file. In an orders phase, save the pbem file as a saved game by clicking on the little SAVE button on the command bar at the bottom of the screen. 2.) Repeat Step 1 for all pbem files you wish to convert. 3.) Install the 1.01 patch. 4.) Open CMAK Version 1.01. 5.) Open the saved game file from step 1. 6.) Choose Email as the startup option for the saved game. 7.) Place your orders as you normally would in a PBEM, and press "GO". Congratulations! You have now converted your pbem file. Repeat as necessary for any other files you need to convert..

Frenchy Posted February 3, 2004 Share Posted February 3, 2004 Before I download it from IGN site, does anyone know if the downloader it attempts to install is loaded with tracking and or spyware? I am extremely leary of these 3rd party downloaders and usually refuse to download files with them. Should be unnecessary with a highspeed connection. 0 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
flammenwerfer Posted February 3, 2004 Share Posted February 3, 2004 * PzIIIF (37mm) not available for QB purchase in North Africa (though still available in editor).Seems like it is no longer available in the editor, as well. 0 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

thewood Posted February 3, 2004 Share Posted February 3, 2004 I couldn't find the Pz III w/ the 37mm either. Also, were all the short-barrel Pz IIIJ's removed completely? If so, why? If the models already exist, why not leave them in for a few small what if's? 0 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Schrullenhaft Posted February 3, 2004 Share Posted February 3, 2004 In May 1941 I can see the Pz IIIF (37mm/L47) and the Pz IIIG & H (50mm/L42). In December 1941 I can find the Pz III J (short) (50mm/L42). Unless there's something different about my copy, you should see them too. 0 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Rokossovski Posted February 3, 2004 Share Posted February 3, 2004 (1) Thank you for providing the patch. The upgrade on HEAT weapons and fix to the US Airborne OOB is especially appreciated. (2) Is the bug with 2 story light buildings on pavement going to be fixed? Despite having several facings available on the editor, only two facings actually appear on the map. (One straight, one slanted - rather than four types of each.) 0 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Sergei Posted February 3, 2004 Share Posted February 3, 2004 Madmatt, could you at this point confirm or deny a previously unconfirmed piece of information... according to which you had said in an e-mail that the bug in last CMBB patch which caused fortifications to count as losses in AAR would be corrected with a small patch. Is this going to happen, or should I tell people to take this into account in scenarios of mine which include fortifications? Also, congratulations for finishing the patch! Seemed to work for me, will have to try TCP/IP soon. 0 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
birdstrike Posted February 3, 2004 Share Posted February 3, 2004 Thank you! Me love you all, sniff.

Sirocco Posted February 3, 2004 Share Posted February 3, 2004 Thank you for the patch. Your continued and prompt support for each game is an example for all. 0 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
GJK Posted February 3, 2004 Share Posted February 3, 2004 Is the problem with unit bases not showing when in certain terrain features (buildings for one) fixed with this patch? I didn't see it in the release notes so I'm guessing not. 0 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Elmar Bijlsma Posted February 3, 2004 Share Posted February 3, 2004 So, what was that churchill skin doing in the patch? Didn't catch anything wrong with the originals. And the gun barrels are still incomprehencible with the 40mm, 57mm, 75mm and 95mm sharing various model seemingly at random. I just don't see the pattern. I thought maybe late and early models but I don't think so. Can anyone enlighten me? And I just noticed that on one type of gun barrel the holes in the muzzle break where on top and bottom. Shouldn't this be on the sides? But that's easily fixable. And IIRC I think on one Churchill the gun shape and the skin it has differ? And don't think I haven't noticed that the 3 inch howitzer is still represented as a puny MG! 0 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

MikeyD Posted February 3, 2004 Share Posted February 3, 2004 Those new Churchill textures look like a cast turret MkIV and not the welded turret MkIII (which wasn't listed in the game anyway).
