GLOBAL WAR COUNTER-FACTUAL (W1/Wilhelm vs rkr1958/jp)

[warspite1]

To Jesper, and WILHELM - are you intending to change to the new patch?

[jesperpehrson]

I suppose so. I assume the patch solves some issues so what is the downside?
I am in a similar position as you with more than 1 game going but it is just a moment to patch the game no?

To Jesper, and WILHELM - are you intending to change to the new patch?

I am but if that's a problem I can play this game with the older version you're using. In fact, I just (re)sent the game file down-converted to 3.1.0.1.

Assuming it's ok with everyone, and until otherwise directed, I intend to play this game with version 3.1.0.1 and my other two games (Axis vs composer99 & Allied vs Jesper) with the latest publicly available version which currently stands at 3.1.0.2.

I've found it's pretty straight forward to run multiple versions of MWiF, as long as they're fairly close in version number (e.g., 3.0.0.0 to 3.1.0.2 is ok; but 2.0.0.0 to 3.1.0.2 wouldn't work). The only caveat is that for a given game all players need to run that game with the same version.

I get confused easily enough with computers so would prefer to have one version. All my opponents have responded they are happy to switch - just waiting for WILHELM to confirm. If he is agreeable I suggest we upgrade and run this game on the new patch if that is okay?

Delete all after 'confused easily'.

Perfectly fine with that. [:)]
