Confused about installation procedure

Post by auerland »

Hi, posting here because I am not sure I am installing the right files in the right order.

I have purchased both Flashpoint Campaigns: Red Storm Player's Edition and the expansion Flashpoint Campaigns: Germany Reforged. After downloading all the files (linked by mail and from the members downloads) I have the following:

- FlashpointRedStorm-Setup-206.exe
- FlashpointGermanyReforged-SetupRelease-v2010.exe
- FlashpointRedstorm-UpdateComp-v2010d.exe
- FlashpointRedstorm-UpdateComp-v20116Beta.exe

Now the questions:

- If I install FlashpointGermanyReforged-SetupRelease-v2010.exe after FlashpointRedstorm-UpdateComp-v2010d.exe, then when checking for updates the application wants to reinstall FlashpointRedstorm-UpdateComp-v2010d.exe. If so, then I guess that installing v2010d after GermanyReforged-SetupRelease-v2010 will not "destroy" anything in the expansion, right?
- Are the updates in FlashpointRedstorm-UpdateComp-v2010d.exe already included in FlashpointRedstorm-UpdateComp-v20116Beta.exe? If yes, then I assume I can skip installing v2010d.
- After installing FlashpointRedstorm-UpdateComp-v20116Beta.exe and checking for updates the application wants to revert to v2010d. I guess again that this is because v20116 is beta. Is this true? But then, if the updates of v2010d are already included, this is not very helpful.

As you see I am guessing all the time. Could you please clarify the correct installation procedure?

I think you are on the right path. 2.06 is the starting point to install all the files with the Player's Edition. Then add in Germany Reforged. Then the 2.0.10d. That was the last non beta update. At this point it is up to you if you want to do the beta versions. 11.2 added in new jpg maps. Same as the PNG ones, but smaller file size. Then 11.6 to get the latest beta. The official 2.0.11 update is pending release and show go live in the next two weeks (give or take Matrix production schedule issues). You could wait for that to get everything caught up (GR as well).

Hope that helps.
OTS is looking forward to Southern Storm getting released!
