Uncommon Valor v2.11 Officially Released!
Hello Everyone
Uncommon Valor v2.11 is now available for downloading and playing. If you are playing a PBEM or into a long campaign wait before you update, watch the forums, backup your save files and remember the install will backup your current EXE when it installs the patch. You can find it in the main Uncommon Valor directory with a .bak at the end.
The patch is just under 10 Megabytes. We know some of you have had some issues downloading the patches in the past. Please try using True Update first, if that does not work try our FTP server
Host: ftp.matrixgames.com
Port: 21
Login: anonymous
Password: Your Email Address
and if that does not work try the Matrix download page
Here is what been done.
Uncommon Valor v2.11 Changes - Released 12/3/2002
1) Bullet proofed against pilot assignment error, not functioning in some hardware/operating systems configurations.
2) Added more anti-aircraft ammunition to all classes and ships.
3) Increased submarine ability to evade depth charges, based on the submarines maneuverability and skippers skill.
4) In the Pick Up Troops screen, evoked from the load troops screen, the sort by location and name functions should now work.
5) Reworked the Sounds used in the game.
As always please post your comments here and let us know what you think.

What version should I download?
Hi,
I am still using v2.00, should I update to v2.10 and then v.211, or can I jump directly to v.211?
Thanks for any hint!

2.11 Patch
Try the FTP site referenced above - I just went there and copied the patch to a zip disk without any problem whatsoever.
At the risk of overstepping my bounds (and having spent too much of my life doing alpha and beta testing as well as customer support)
When I first tried TrueUpdate I got an error saying "UPDATE-UV.cli" not found or no permissions and tried the following -
In my "Uncommon Valor" folder there is a file: "TrueUpdate.cli"
I COPIED this file to "UPDATE-UV.cli" and then tried true update again. This worked for me.
At the risk of being a heretic - I like the TrueUpdate program.....

Hi Entemedor

Thanks for any hint!
I think you got bypassed
over all I think you get the 2.10 first and then the 2.11 the 2nd one fixes a bug some of us had in 2.10, but I don't know it is covers all that was in that one or not
I think if the true update works for you, it will go in order ??
good luck

I just had the same problem, and the same solution worked (well, actually I just renamed the file in place). I suspect patch 2.10 screwed up TrueUpdate (on at least some systems). At least I definitely did not modify any filenames in that folder myself prior to the problem showing up.Originally posted by USSMaine

I don't see the 2.11 patch on the downloads page either. And I do not know what to do with the Port, Login and Password info in David Heath's Posting. Can anyone tell me how to use that info to access the FTP site? Looks like it is mostly a matter of including that info in the ftp address, but I do not know the syntax. If I simply enter ftp.matrixgames.com I get a a message stating that Windows can not access that folder.
The only skills I have the patience to learn are those that have no practical application in real life.

Check past threads for instructions on how ti fix True Update . (I never had to fix mine and downloaded all the patches just fine from the Start Programs icon.) Also, I think the instructions are given allready in one of the replies.

Greetings,
Many thanks for the patch. Was the problem with aerial bloodbaths and poor zero performance against early aircraft adressed?
Yours Aye,
Tony

I also had the same exact problem, when I renamed the file TU worked fine. I suspect that you are right in that the 2.10 patch somehow affected the TU file. I am using a Dell system win 98 second edition.Originally posted by DSandberg
