Don't feel bad. I can't get the updaters to work. I get an FTP error as it trys to get a handle. What AV program do you run? I assume my AV software (Kaspersky) is somehow blocking the FTP connection from the Update.exe program.

We should be getting a manual link soon from Matrix.

I use Kaspersky - no trouble at all on my side!

Jet,

here is the direct link to the 2.03 updater: ftp://ftp.matrixgames.com/pub/FlashpointCampaignsRedStorm/FlashpointRedstorm-UpdateComp-v203.zip

Unzip the file, then run the installer (FlashpointRedstorm-UpdateComp-v203.exe).
Hope this helps you recover from your surgery.

William

William, thanks for grabbing the link!

@Templar - My Cute FTP has no problems. I had to pause Kas to get the updater to run. Weird.

The link does not work with DAP enabled and the link won't open with DAP disabled. The in game updater never works for me. I use Norton AV and always disable it before downloading an update. Hope Matrix post a link SOON.

That's the link I mean. With DAP enabled it opens but the download never gets going. With DAP disabled the above link just brings up a blank tab. Weird is the word.

A little warning notice. It seems that v2.03 overwrites the previous Scenarios and Saved directories. I lost (on this computer) all the maps made by other users and my own scenarios. It is convenient to backup the files you don't want to lose.

Ok I can only Alt-click and select all units under a HQ when Limited staff rule is off, when its on I get a pop up message telling me I cant do group orders when the limited staff rule is in effect, is this working as intended?

Thanks

Yes.

That is not the same order. If you give 5 units an order for 5 orders or just 1 through the HQ that isn't going to get you down to 1 order in the Limited Orders mechanic.

Good Hunting.

I don't think it over write saved games, but it will overwrite prevous Scenarios and maps since we had to update them for the patch to work with them. Sorry about that. If you reload the other maps, they should work.

Just playing Pied Piper as NATO. When I have units in a stack I can't select individuals in the flyout. If I want to give different orders to units in the stack I have to access them via the OB list.

Also the Leopards waited until the WP tanks were just two hexes away until firing. Then it was a toe to toe slugfest with all 15 Leopards going down along with 17 T80's. Also at the end of the first turn a whole lot of bridges appeared over the river up in the top right of the map then vanished at the start of the next turn!

OK. So now the fly-out panel is working and units can be accessed.

Same here this doesn't seem right, highlighting subordinates should still work regardless since no orders are being given.


PS: !THANKS! for all the work on 2.03[&o]
