Great news!!!

Very good!

Great!

Please note that if you also have Wacht am Rhein we've just released a public beta update for that too:

tm.asp?m=2499513

Thank you very much for the new patch !!!

It is much appreciated [:)]



Txema

Thanks again!

EDIT:

Just curious does the same apply to save games as does with the WAR beta?

That is always the case but it doesn't mean you can't try it out. Using old saved games on a new build will have the potential for creating errors as a result of discrepancies between data in the saved game and updates made to data files or EXE. Trying to use them won't hurt anything except possibly corrupt your saved game file. I guess it depends upon how badly you want to continue that saved game.

Attacker / Defender determination and display now correct.

- It is possible to explain more in detail that it means?

Any update on when the official non-beta patch will be released?

ORIGINAL: advo

Attacker / Defender determination and display now correct.

- It is possible to explain more in detail that it means?

I believe sometimes before entering a battle the screen that announced who was attacking/defending was not always correct.

Will this patch ever be official or beta forever? Same with Wacht patch?

Looks like there are WaR, tLD and LS@A patches all in beta!

plus CoI beta patch

Any advance on four?!

[:)]

LSA is not beta anymore.  So when will all the other patches be finalized as official?

I downloaded this patch, though now when I go to create a scenario and try to load the campaign file, or any battle etc, nothing appears, any suggestions?

stolidog,

Add/put in a "*" to get a list of files to show....

Can you be a little bit more clear please?
I tried

/"*"
"*"
and just * in the File name window but nothing happens for WAR.

Also is this going to be fixed?

Thanks

A basic microsoft/windows methodology, unless I'm mistaken, to see all files  *.*
