Warhammer 40,000: Armageddon patch 1.0.1 check

[Lord Zimoa]

Hi guys,

Apparently some of you may have missed the day one patch 1.0.1 for Warhammer 40,000: Armageddon.

Steam users are all fine as the release version was already 1.0.1.

If you purchased from Slitherine or Matrix and you are playing the non-Steam version, please check on your main menu screen in the right bottom corner what the game version number is. It should say v1.0.1.

If NOT I advise you to hit "check for update" in the launch menu and follow the instructions or download and install the patch 1.0.1 manual and direct from here:

1.00 to 1.01 Changelog:

Bugs Fixed:
- [BUG] Restarting scenario during AI turn can lead to some strange effects (like AI playing your units).
- [BUG] Purchase: select All factions, Artillery and Titan classes will be disabled, even though they are active when only Steel Legion is selected.
- [BUG] Under some unknown circumstances Upgrade button behaves odd
- [BUG] When choosing to upgrade a unit with transport, transport is not selected by default.
- [BUG] FoW and Undo check boxes do not work when starting a campaign (work fine in single scenario mode)

- [BUG] Entering non-ASCII characters into edit boxes results in unpredictable behaviour, from garbage in edit box to crash. Need to filter non-ASCII characters.
- [BUG] It is possible to enter Tab symbol into login edit box. Login will succeed, but then MP flow will be broken.
- [BUG] Items in accept challenge list overlap list bounds. See "too many mp games up overwrites text.jpg" in root folder. Need to check other MP lists as well.
- [BUG] After surrendering a mission in MP, one can restart it via victory screen. This must not be possible,
- [CTD] During deployment phase, select any unit in the list, press P.

Not sure if anyone else is experiencing this, but patch 1.01 crashes the game every time for me. I get an "unhandled exception" error pop-up as soon as I enter a scenario. Also, cannot d-load from the update screen in the game. It will not connect to the FTP server to d-load the update. The game worked fine prior to 1.01

Please do the following:

Uninstall the game. Reinstall it again, but this time install in a different folder than C:\ Program Files (x86)\.... Install it instead in a folder like for example C:\Games\....

then re post if it is working now for you

[michael1776]

That seems to have done the trick. Thanks!

ok glad it worked, good luck and happy gaming[;)]
