IMPORTANT
ISSUES WITH SAVED GAMES CREATED UNDER VERSION 1.0.0
Several issues related to saved games have been addressed in the 1.0.1 update. For best results it is recommend that you start new games after installing the update. The game will attempt to restore and continue saved games that were effected by the earlier problems but may not be able to do so in all cases.

Can't download the new patch, tried Chrome and Firefox both just time out?

tested again, 2 browsers, default in windows 10 and chrome, both worked again fine no issues

Still just times out for me, whether through this link or my Slitherine MyPage link, turned off adblocker and all antivirus. Never had this problem before, I'm in Australia don't know if that's an issue?

Don't own Close Combat: The Bloody First - yet, but tried to download patch using Firefox, Chrome, Opera and as others have reported just times out.
I had trouble a couple of weeks ago downloading updates for Battlestar Galactica and Field of Glory: Empires using Firefox and Opera same problem again - but okay with Chrome.

Probably not related but never had any download problems before new look website.

Thank you, the 3 links provided are working [:)]

I have downloaded and opened the patch about 12 times and it does not recognize that the base game is on my PC. I can assure you it is there.

Do you have the Steam or the standalone version?

Where is version 1.0.2 to download?

Stand alone.

you may need to provide more information,

a report, default install? installed as admin and ran the game as admin, plus installed the patch as run as admin

checked your antivirus and spyware protection etc so it's not been blocked etc, installing and running as admin sets up the correct file permissions for most, but not all 3rd party poor ones, which would need manually adding a exception to allow to run and work etc etc

How to get a DirectX Diagnostic file:

1. click on "START"
2. click "run"
3. type in "dxdiag" and click "OK"
4. check through the tabs and perform all tests
5. click "Save all Information..." and save the text file to a location of your choice

We prefer that DxDiag files be posted as message attachments rather than pasted into the body of the post.

once the report has been made, just attach it to your post as it's a Txt file which is then permitted to attach to the forum.

Tried the new BETA 1.0.2 and no mouse lag anymore works great thanks!

Yes, it was all done as admin. See attached

update your drives on the pc for the nvidia part, and then the sound part and check again, i'm surprised it even worked at all with the onboard one,

once drivers are updated, use the guide to set the correct chip for the game, then retest the patch,

there are no errors reported in the report for the game anyway, so no way to know what's wrong with that part, so unless there's a error log in the docs folder, i'd still go for the update drivers first, then check your firewall, anti virus and then spyware protection clients and see if any of those have blocked anything game related.

good luck
