Ok...so that sounds like I can just replace the patch 01 with the patch 03 files.

Knavey, be sure not to mix up "patch" 1 and 2 with "hotfix for patch 2" versions 1,2,and 3. If you have installed Patch 2, you can then go straight to Hotfix 3.

Yup...working on the hotfixes right now. Had hotfix 1, missed hotfix 2, just want to make sure I can just put in hotfix 3 and not have to do hotfix 2 first.

In case this helps, it might not be obvious from the zip file names that get downloaded, but the hotfixes are:

first - 1096a
second - 1096e
third - 1097

As USS America mentioned any one of them just goes on top of Patch 2.

 In order to do a full reinstall, whats the orderto follow ?

Thanks !!

1.  Base game install.
2.  Patch 2 install.
3.  Patch 2 Hotfix 3 (1.0.2.1097).

Thank you very much [8D]

I want to dl the latest hotfix but can't seem to figure out how to do it 'cause I can't find a folder (or file) named AE exe.  If I type AE exe into search, all I get are two apps named AEEditor64 & AEEditor.  I've also looked in several of the folders and don't see anything like AE exe either.  All I need is someone to point me in the right direction & I can take it from there, otherwise I'll have to wait for Patch 3 to come out, whenever that will might be.  Thanx.

afspret, if you are looking for the download, the attachment is on the bottom of post 77 of this thread

Hope this helps,
Daryl

The file is named War in the Pacific Admiral Edition.exe

Thank you all at Matrix very, very much. As usual your support rocks as the best out there!

After you save the zip file and installed your game should start out with this date and time stamp.

JUST a suggestion, we sto[p calling patches and hotflashes 1-2 -3 -4 and start calling them letters for one and numbers for another.. oops I diod it tooooooo[:-][&o]
Examplepatch 2 hotflash A.. ends the numbers on numbers confusion for those less inclined to detail

I think using the unique version number like they already are is foolproof. For example there is one and only one 1096e ...

What does this mean:  "213 - Changed disbands to must be in national home base and can not be permently restricted then disband is free (no vp cost), in all other situations it is not allowed."
 
I've read it three or four times and can't quite decipher it.

It means that you can´t disband any restricted command units anymore to get their equipment back into the pool. And while previously it had a a victory point cost to disband units, it hasn´t anymore.

Oh, I was misreading "disband" to refer to ships in port, and therefore the Hot Fix description was really throwing me for a loop.  Thanks for unmuddling my mind, Castor.

I know that this is a dumb question but where is the link so I get the latest hot fix file?

Go back one page (page 3), it's there in Post #77 (Joe Wilkerson).

Ok, here is a third (and we expect final) revision of the hot fix for patch 02. We will desginate this "hot fix 03 - for - patch 02". Matrix will return from vacation in the next few days - and place this version of the hot fix into production per their normal process. But here it is for those who want it now.

Changes which are new to the 3rd version of the hot fix begin with number 201.

changeLog:

01. Resolve supply/fuel/resource/oil overflow issues causing loss of same.

02. Fixed issue that was preventing some bases from being resupplied.

03. Added terrain and fort effects against artillery attacks.

04. Artillery when used offensively use 2x amount of supplies.

05. Fixed save not reading properly issue.

06. Fixed overflow issue with air skills going backwards .

07. Fixed some display issues caused by Transfer Ships.

08. Fixed CTD issue with Clouds
