As with the 2.00 UPDATE, it is recommended this is installed on a fresh 1.00 Installation.

Murphy's Law?

The matter has been brought to Matrix/Slitherine's attention.

Meanwhile, 2.01 does seem to be posted here:

So you want me to uninstall 2.0, install 1.0 and run the 2.01 patch?

[berto]

No need to uninstall. Just rename your top-level game folder, say

John Tiller's Campaign Series -> John Tiller's Campaign Series 2.00

You can still run v2.00 by clicking on the EXEs from within Windows Explorer.

Then, yes, do a base 1.00 install, then apply the 2.01 patch. Note that the autorun.exe auto-update mechanism is now fixed. So you can either apply the 2.01 patch that way, else ftp download the 2.01 patch file from

http://www.matrixgames.com/products/318/downloads/
http://www.matrixgames.com/products/318 ... ign.Series

Then unzip, run the patch EXE, launch the game, enjoy.

In any event, by any method, patch 1.00 -> 2.01. Patching 2.00 -> 2.01 is not advised.

Thanks for the update guys. An amazing job for a classic game. [&o][&o][&o]

and a mighty big thank you from me too...

even if you force me to play the the first PC game since fall 2012.

If I understand Berto correctly, simply downloading 2.01 and running it over my previous 1.00 and 2.00 is not advised.

Instead, rename my current "John Tiller's Campaign Series" so it becomes "John Tiller's Campaign Series 2.00."

Install the 1.00 disk again, and it will create a "John Tiller's Campaign Series" folder separate from the "John Tiller's Campaign Series 2.00."

Download 2.01 into the new "John Tiller's Campaign Series" and execute it there, so there's no 2.00 to possibly conflict with it.

My understanding is everything is geared to download into a "John Tiller's Campaign Series" folder and not a "John Tiller's Campaign Series 2.00" folder.

If I have an email game in progress, which will now be in "John Tiller's Campaign Series 2.00," can I just copy and paste the files into the new "John Tiller's Campaign Series" folder and pick up where I left off?

I'm sorry if this all seems rudimentary, but rudimentary is what I am, and I'd appreciate it if I've got this right or have misunderstood.

I printed the manual in color, and it looks great!

[Jason Petho]

Looks good to me.

However you do it, rename all previous installation folders for JTCS.

To achieve 2.01:

[*]Install 1.00 from base CD (or file, however you purchased the original game). Name the install as you wish. Suggestion: "John Tiller's Campaign Series" (the default, I believe).

Then either:

[*]Run autorun.exe in that brand new base install. It should walk you through the steps to auto-update to 2.01.

Or:

[*]FTP download the 2.01 Update ZIP file (see previous posts for URLs). Unzip. Run the unzipped EXE. Be sure to indicate the proper folder name for the new install you just did.

If in doubt, your best, easiest bet should be the first option: let the autorun.exe auto-udpate do the update for you.

If I have an email game in progress, which will now be in "John Tiller's Campaign Series 2.00," can I just copy and paste the files into the new "John Tiller's Campaign Series" folder and pick up where I left off?

Yes, that is correct.

Good luck.
