What previous patches are needed for this? All of them up to 1.602, or even further up?

List of changes from Mike Wood
quote:

Bugs Fixed:

1) Sometimes a group would not fly, if there were more planes than pilots. Fixed.
2) Sometimes, in a human vs. computer game, when a base is captured, the base unit TOE increases for no apparent reason. Fixed.
3) Sometimes air group fragments were being formed under enemy control. Should no longer happen for groups which divide after patch 1.0655 applied. Bullet proofing for earlier errors has been written. If fragments are found under control of wrong player, the player side is now changed and fragment is sent to home base.
4) Using the “Get Pilot” button should now select historical pilots with historical experience, if any are due, within 60 days. The Get Pilot button was not always working. Fixed.
5) Sometimes, pilot replacements were not appearing because of pilot array filling up with dead pilots. Fixed.
6) One of the tests for long lance torpedo attacks was some times returning the wrong value, negating surprise. Fixed.
7) When Allied task force had no radar, Japanese were sometimes said to be spotted by radar, when they were really being visually spotted. Fixed.
8) Enemy units were showing up on bottom bar, when Japanese player selected unit at enemy base from list all units pop-out box. Fixed.
9) Game was running out of pilots. Fixed.
10) Rebuilt LCU was reverting to original device number despite being upgraded when split. Fixed.
11) Negative values were showing on Intel screen because of data overflow. Fixed.
12) When air group leaders were killed, ship, task force or land unit leaders sometimes died with them. Fixed.
13) Air groups which had been disbanded or withdrawn were returning with zero planes, even though planes were being taken from pool for the group. Fixed. Note that fix only applies to groups disbanded or withdrawn using version 1.603 or later.
14) A bug was causing ship captains to vanish. Fixed.
15) The 10” CD gun (device #516) was not being produced. Fixed.
16) Land units ordered to follow were not arriving in proper hex at proper time. Fixed.
17) Allied heavy bombers were using device #210, 2000 lb AP bombs, instead of device #205, 2000 lb GP bombs. Fixed.

New Player Requested Features:

1) The ability of a submarine to evade an ASW pattern now depends more on the skill of the submarine skipper.
2) Air groups and air sub-groups may no longer divide or recombine, when fragments of the group exist.
3) Malaria zones have been slightly modified.
4) Anti-submarine attack routines have been rewritten. Now, seldom will more than 4 ASW vessels normally attack a submarine during a single phase (although many may search). Number of attacking ships depends on task force type, ships types and lots of skill rolls. Instead of each ship making one or two attacks, they may now sometimes continue to attack until out of ASW ammunition. Number of attacks made depend on task force type, ships types and lots of skill rolls. Hits are now deadly much less often, usually doing a point or two of system damage and or occasionally a point or so of flood damage.
5) When an air group is divided, it may not reform unless all three sub-units are assigned to the same headquarters.
6) When an air group is divided into sub-units and each is reassigned to the same, new headquarters, say Central Pacific to South Pacific, when the sub-units reform, the parent group headquarters will change to that new headquarters.
7) When a land unit is divided, it may not reform unless all sub-units are assigned to the same headquarters.
8) When a land unit is divided into sub-units and each is reassigned to the same, new headquarters, say Central Pacific to South Pacific, when the sub-units reform, the parent group headquarters will change to that new headquarters.
9) Mine laying tenders (MLE) may now service ships of any nationality.
10) Destroyer tenders (AD) may now service ships of any nationality.
11) Submarine tenders (AS) may now ships of any nationality.
12) Repair ships (AR) may now help repair ships of any nationality.

Bye...

Still not working for me -- I go to the registered downloads section and click on 'downloads' to the right of where it says 'War In The Pacific Beta Patch v.1.70 Beta', and the browser just reloads the page. I've tried IE and Firefox.

I believe someone else mentioned that clicking on it, so that your download manager usually picks it up, didn't work for them. If you haven't tried it already just right-click the link and select "save as" from the dropdown list to put the zip file where you want it (desktop?).
