How to download?

Post by warspite1 »

I’ve got a new computer (finally) and this doesn’t come with a disc player thingy. Can I download this? If so, how do I go about this? Thank-you.

Thanks gents. I assumed I only had the physical download and forgot about the Members club. I’ll give that a go.

Your welcome brother.

I think (but others need to chime in here), that this is latest patch...I can't recall anymore...

Mine version shows this but no idea when or how I got this far...

5.0.0.10 (Debug)

Warspite, glad to see you back.

Check out this post from ssiviour from our on-going AAR. Thought you'd be proud of your warship's namesake. HMS Warspite lead the search that sunk an Italian CP and heavy cruiser trying to slip past back to base.

Hi Peeps - so I've gone to the My Account page, selected Europe and downloaded WIF set up release v03.00.01.00.

There are two more versions shown - v03.00.02.00 and v07.00.00.00. Both of these have only one location and that is the US. So am I okay to download these if I'm in Europe??

Also, Joseignacio mentioned bugs with the latter. Assuming I can download these, which version are people using at present?

Thanks again in advance for any help you can provide.

AFAIK (maybe someone more savvy will correct me) the offer to download from one place or another only affects to the speed or availability of the server and the connection.

Thus, you can download from anywere all the same, considering that these servers are fast enough and are usually slightly populated.

Thank-you. Hopefully last question. If downloading a version other than what’s available in the members area, where would I find the download?

That’s my girl - putting herself in harm’s way - just as she did during two world wars ❤️❤️ Gotta love the Old Lady.

These instructions seem to suggest a version 4 is required before uploading version 5 - is that right?
