New Patch

Post by warspite1 »

Hello - does anyone have a step by step guide as to how I get this update on my computer please?

I've no idea what Primary and Secondary server means - nor why there is PC Update and PC Installer.

Any Janet and John step by step guide would be appreciated!

download the installer 15th of Nov 2017, which is the first you need, as it is the latest version of the game and will be better than the one most of the buyers will have eg 1.0 etc

then once the installer is finished, either use the auto updater to add in the latest patch, or download the patch from above 15th of Oct 2018

primary or secondary only means if one is slow with too many on it, you can always download from the other one, so it's the same file, just on 2 different addresses

always say yes, as it only over writes if you already have it, but to be on the safe side and it doesn't take more than a 30 seconds, i always do it, no matter what
