hexes without attacking, causing the German units to retreat after they took damage. Fixed.

Google has new system that is auto blocking me from down loading this patch.
Its saying " cant be downloaded securely ".
Some new protocols they have put in place from the beginning of the year.

I just purchased WitW (thru GOG) and have come across an interesting problem applying the update. My computer is designed to keep only MS Win 10 and its files onto a 256GB drive (C:). ALL of the games and app add-ons go onto a 2TB drive (D:). What is interesting is the v1.02.59 update will NOT give me either an option to download the update into my D: disk or if I manually move it to D: and into the downloaded game file, it refuses to recognize that my WitW game is even installed!

Since there is nothing in the uninstaller to choose where to unpack this - is this a waste of $80 for me?

I'd contact Help Desk.

Don't have your technical issue.

WITW is defiantly worth $80.

Done - Appreciate your response and I'll just wait for the Help Desk.

AFAIR the GoG version has its own update mechanism, just like Steam. The Matrixgames update can't be used.
