Info: WinSPWW2 version 5.0 Upgrade patch- NOW AVAILABLE

[void1984]

At the official game page...
It looks like they changed the approach and now its "winSPWW2 Consolidation Patch". As mine stored locally v5.0 was only 12MB, then that one online must be cumulative indeed.

great - so no need for other patches - from vanilla Xtended version - right?

That is the whole point of a consolidation patch.

All the previous incremental patches are obsoleted by being rolled up into the one consolidation patch. That's why they are no longer available for download.

(Naturally - there will be a few more new incremental patches coming along this year and the next few, till we decide that yet another consolidation is necessary.)

Thanks as always Mobhack. You and DRG really keep this great game on the up-and-up.

One observation on installation: the DL version (1.1) of the game itself is set to install in the programs folder of C-drive, while the consolidated patch is only directed to C-drive (outside the programs folder).

Digitally challenged as I am, it took awhile to realize that you have to direct them to the same folder . Anyway all's well that ends well, and everything's fine now. Cheerio!

thanks for the answer
Love what you made out of this game - thanks a lot!

Now a very important request - please remove the German swastika symbol from the game with a patch - as it is illegal in many countries - as well as mine- and I could get punished just for having it on my PC - thanks again!

There are instructions with the game on how to change that

Go to the Graphics folder. You will need the "German Cross" sub folder.

If you do not want to display the historic German Flag from WWII in this game
for personal reasons or to satisfy the requirements of German Law then
**COPY** the three .SHP files found in this folder ( WinSPWW2\Game Data\Graphics\German Cross )
into the \WinSPWW2\Game Data\Graphics folder and the Swastika will be replaced
by a plain cross in the game.

If you wish to RESTORE the historic German Swastika Flag once again copy ( not move! )
the files from the folder WinSPWW2\Game Data\Graphics\Swastika Flags to
\WinSPWW2\Game Data\Graphics and this will restore the historic German Flag used in WW2

PLEASE REMEMBER: Do NOT "move" these files. Copy them only.
