Re: CMO Public Beta - Build 1243.3 (aka "Tiny")
Posted: Fri Nov 25, 2022 1:50 pm
I have the Steam version of CMO installed on my rig. I am having difficulty install the Tiny (v1243.3 Beta) update.
All my Steam games are on a separate drive for all the reasons one does that with Steam installs.
It is in D:\Steam\steamapps\common\Command-Modern Operations
I downloaded the Tiny update, then extracted it. I have 7 files: an application (v1.05.00.00), and then six CMO-UpdateComp files, numbered v1.05.00.00.2 through ...7.
I tried running the update application from within the download location and got an error: CMO is not currently installed.
Next, I copied all seven Tiny Update files INTO my CMO Steam directory and ran the update application file. I got the same error: CMO is not currently installed.
How do I get the Tiny Update with my CMO Steam install?
Thanks.

Edited to add: okay, so I logged into steam. I went to My Library, right-clicked CMO and selected "Properties". In that submenu is a selection for "betas". There is a drop-down for Open Betas. I chose that. In just a few seconds my CMO install in my Steam Library shows it is v1297.1 and the Library shows it as Command: Modern Operations (beta).
So...it seems like the way to run an updated beta with a Steam Install is to choose to do so through Steam, NOT by downloading files directly and installing them manually.
FWIW.
