Matrix Games Forums

So i'm downloading Battles for Greece now... so i install it and then i still have to download and install the data pack? or is the download up to date?

I went ahead and tried to download the data pack for greece and a authtication required box popped up, so i am unable to download it.I was signed in to the members area before attempting to download.
Any other links or some other way to download.

no worries..i refreshed the page and am downloading the data pack now....do i need it?

I installed the data pack and opened a scenario and seems to work fine.

I think - as you've already found out - that you do need it, as Matrix seem to be selling an add-on (BFG and HTTR)that doesn't work 'out of the box' with the latest official version of the game.

Be helpful if they could post an official set of instructions for people buying it (or include them in a read-me), so as they could fix it without having to come in here and post or trawl. Or, alternatively (and better)update the add-on itself with the conversion pack. Just my thoughts on the matter, perhaps...

I bought all three a couple nights ago, and the expansion installers automatically required the update and launched it before continuing the installation of the expansion. Odd that budd had a different experience.

My BFTB was already up to date, as was my HTTR expansion which i already installed the data pack for. I just installed the greece expansion and the data pack for it.

I think Budd's prob wasn't with the update to 279, Hadadad, but with getting the BFG and HTTR expansions to work without having to separately download the conversion packages for them from the member's area. Did you get them to work without doing that, then?

yeah I figured that out after the fact when I found the "order of installation" thread. I'm a noob here, so still discovering things, such as the data packs.
