I know it's a long shot, but does anyone have the first patch for the old 1991/1992 V for Victory Utah Beach game by Atomic Games (PC version). This is the patch that takes the game from v1.1 up to v2.0 and was only available to registered owners of the game by mail.

I'm doing some experimenting with earlier versions of these games and need this patch. I have all of the other patches and updates, it's just this one patch I'm missing.

Thanks

You probably already did this...the magic word is 'google'. [;)]

The earliest one I have is the 1993 Victory Pack, sorry [:(]

i still play it, but only now online in a dosbox, easier than loading it myself from my own collection of games owned

Yes, I have Googled extensively, including the internet archive. The patch was only ever released on floppy disk by mail order years before the internet so I'm not surprised I can't find it online.

I have some 4 track and 8 track music tapes if you are interested... (only kidding)[:)] I do have those tapes though..

no patches either, not even in my boxes, so seems i never had them either, or didn't keep them




V for Victory Battleset 1 - D-Day Utah Beach - 1944

V for Victory: Gold-Juno-Sword's

while the 4th and last in series, by no means the best, in fact imo the worst of the lot and for me the least played, even today / still

V for Victory III: Market Garden

V for Victory II: Velikiye Luki

Great series of games!

Though once I played the World at War games I never went back to the V For Victory games.

Thanks for looking anyway - much appreciated. By the way, what version of Utah Beach do you have installed there? If you click on the small logo to the left of the File menu item, and then click on the About menu item it should tell you. My floppy disk version of Utah Beach installs v1.1 while my Commemorative Collection, which supposed installs v4.0.1 for all of the games, displays v3.0 for Utah Beach.

here's the first 2

some earlier some later it seems

ORIGINAL: zakblood

so yours are much later than my online ones

So, looks like your Utah Beach is the first unpatched version. Oh well - the search continues for the v2.0 patch.

What is interesting is that the second game to be released, Velikiye Luki didn't include patch 2.0 for Utah Beach on the disk despite this being the perfect opportunity to distribute it. For the third and fourth games they did include patches and updates on the disks BUT Utah Beach had to have already been patched to v2.0 before these patches would work.

found the mac patches btw




but as yet no look either on the dos versions for pc [:(]

Well thanks for continuing to look [:)]

I'm wondering if perhaps the Victory Pak release maybe has the patch I need.

is the only one i can find tbh[:(]

Welcome to V for Victory 3.1!

This patch will automatically upgrade your Utah Beach 2.0, Velikiye Luki,
and Market Garden games to v. 3.1 of the V for Victory game system. Please
make certain that you read through the section entitled "V4V 3.1 Pre-Install
Information" before installing the patch.

patch read me included in zip attached to post

The 3.1 patch will not update V for Victory v. 1.1 or 1.2 (the original Utah
Beach). If you wish to play your Utah Beach scenarios under the same
directory as your other V for Victory gamesets, then you will need to
purchase the Utah Beach 2.0 Data Upgrade from Three-Sixty ($5.00 - US)

You are awesome Zak! Thanks for all the help and info my friend! [:)]
