Version Upgrades

Post by SeaWolf »

I just picked up a copy of the Computer Gaming World magazine that had the SPW@W ver 4.0 in it. I tried to get the updates so that I could go to ver 4.4 but I can't seem to find the 4.2 upgrade. I got the 4.1 but when I went to download the 4.1 to 4.2 upgrade all I was allowed to do was download the entire 4.4 version.

Where can I get the 4.2 upgrade or is it even needed any longer?.. Can I just get the 4.4 upgrade and go with that?

Great game. Great job. Thanks for the help.

I would recommend you install all of them, Seawolf. Go to the download page.
http://www.matrixgames.com/spwaw/downloads.asp

First if you have 4.1 already installed, download 4.1 to 4.2 upgrade.

Once you have that, then download the 4.2 to 4.4 upgrade.

I just tried clicking on them and was able to access them with no problem. I did download them, and it seemed to work fine.

Thanks WB, but when I try to download the v4.2 upgrade I get a "Cannot open file" error saying the file may have been removed, deleted, or renamed. That's from the Matrix site. If I try to go to the GameDomain site, it only gives me the option to download the entire 4.4 game.

Hi SeaWolf!

Try this.

ftp://216.200.126.155/pub/SteelPanthers ... pgrade.exe

You can find these link at my Web site. I've just tried them and they work. Image

Something very weird there, Seawolf. I just downloaded it with no problem. I'm not saying it did not happen to you, just wondering why.

What about 4.4? Could you download it?

Bill, I also had no problem downloading the 4.2 patch, but my buddy could not get it. He had the same error as Seawolf. I finally zipped and e-mailed it to him so that we could get to the good stuff!

Just a shot in the dark but maybe some brownsers don't support FTP.

WB: I don't know for sure what it might be, but I just tried shutting down GetRight, the latest version, might be 2.3 or 4.3, I don't remember, but after I turned off GetRight, I'm able to access the file. I'm using Tankhead's link which was also giving me the same problem before closing GetRight.

So if anybody else is having the same problem, close GetRight.

If you have problem with GetRight try this one. http://www.netvampire.com
It works great for me since Getright wouldn't work on my puter.
