Im in a work camp

I don't know what that is but it sounds horrible. Camp and work should never go together.

'Before we roast some marshmallows, let's go over these reports.'

Criminal at best.

I don't know if Matrix even visit this forum very often. Very few comments from them as far as I have seen.

Especially since we can count months instead of weeks for patches and DLC now.

I don't know... the August patch looks like it's almost there already. May patch came out in June, so let's hope for August patch in July!

The devs seem to be very focused on this game series. I sense that it's one of their main priorities.

What was the date quoted for the Sov/Jap edition? 'Nohoman'?

I'm referring to Matrix publishing the patches and DLC. I remember reading the DLC would be available within weeks not months.

Ah, right. Well, I agree with you on that front.

Those who have trouble with the non Matrix patch i reckon are doing something wrong when trying to install it, you don't put any folders manually into another folder, if your doing that your doing it wrong.... you download two patch files a small one and a big one, first unpakc the big one in a 7Zip file to a seperate folder. The run the small patch file, this will install when it's installed goto the game folder and run the update utility and direct it to the unpacked core folder (which was the big patch file you unpacked and is called CORE folder)choose desc file..it should then install...then click save and play..if you don't click save and play it wont install it either.

You DO NOT manually move the CORE folder patch file into the game folder..it wont work and will probably stop your game from running. As I said after running the small patch file and unpacking the big patch file run the update application in game folder, direct to unpacked CORE folder desc file..it will then install...then click save and play.

I bought the Matrix version at a higher price for the support,easy to install patches.

Yep.

I understand that...however in the mean time try and do the patches again, it's not as complicated as it sounds. The last patch really improves on things.

I can't upgrade the first two DLC because I bought them from Strat First. This is annoying as there is no other way to upgrade them.However it was so cheap I can except it. If Id paid more I'd be peeved.

In this climate I always go where the games are the cheapest. It's capitalism I'm afraid. If Matrix are the cheapest I'd buy from them. If not I go somewhere else.

+1

After 3-4 failed attempts I finally got everything patched and working. The game is playing smoothly with 580 and all DLCs installed over the Matrix version.

I found patching 577 first..then install dlc's then install 580 worked.

Actually you can update your DLCs, just dl the Russian version from the graviteam.ua site, upzip it then copy just the polys and textures to the appropriate folder and that’s it.

From what I understand in the latest poly updates they are using an upped gunned shader model which is causing 001 critical errors for mostly the Intel graphics adapter so until they release the next patch to fix this then I would suggest not using these poly updates.

For those having problem with patch. Had game and DLC's installed, all
working fine. Once a year I erase hard drive and re-install operating
system. Just got done doing this. First thing I re-install is APOS.
Well it works until install update and patch. Uninstall with
"Windows 7 manager" shareware win7 tweak program removes all registry
reference to apos. Install matrix version of APOS. Run update-(not patch) "Make sure path
is correct". RE-INSTALL directX(freshly downloaded from MS) NOW install patch.
APOS works again[:)] Installed DLC's and all still working.

Hope this helps at least one person.

The basic patch isn't too complex. It's really just two separate install steps.

1. Run the 580 update as you would any executable file and point the install patch at your Matrix APOS folder. Install 1 is done!

2. The Updater UI for Install 2 will open automatically once the 580 installer has run.

3. Click the INSTALL button (bottom left)

4. Browse the where you downloaded the Patch and drill down until you see the addpack file.

5. Select it and the patch will be installed immediately.

6. Repeat this process for the District Updates, if desired.

Let the process complete and then click SAVE AND PLAY. Top right of your main window it should say game version 580 May12 patch, or similar words.

I downloaded from Matrix,yet the folder says Graviteam,so how to send to the correct path if matrix path not here?It says graviteam

Which folder says Graviteam?
Matrix game default install is c:\matrix\Achtung Panzer Operation Star.

When you run update it will want to default install to
c:\program file\matrix games\ Achtung Panzer Operation Star (or something)

you have to change this by either typing it in
or the browse button to pick the directory.

I have no idea what I am doing wrong here.Downloaded core,run as admin,sent to correct path,ran update,nothing changed still 5.77 version.This is driving me nuts.I try again.

Fuck it,

What kind of computer you have?
Are you using win7?
Do your other games work OK?
When you run update the little graphic of clock appears correct?
What is your path for the game?

Sorry for so many questions but I know the frustration you feel
and really wish I could help.

Do you live in Michigan..LOL
You never know it's a small world.

yes the clock appears,after click save and play,I tried matrix path,graviteam path.My laptop is toshiba sattellite 750 win 7
