Carrier 3 inch mortar, what was it.

The British "SP Mortar Sec" in the OOB's supplied with the Ver 1.1 patch does not start until 3/43. The info line of that OOB starts off Version 5/July/06 . If you are seeing the British "SP Mortar Sec" in May 1941 and you "know" you installed the patch then you have installed the patch in the wrong place. When you start the game look at the bottom of the main screen and it will tell you the version number. It will say either WinSPww2 v1.1-DL or WinSPww2 v1.1-CD. There is no error at our end. I just checked the files the patch was made from.

Hi DRG
Sorry not to provide any detail in my previos post, yes indeed I have installed the patch in the wrong place which I must say gives some odd results. Im looking in the manual etc as to where to install the patch but If anyone could tell me what folder to install it in that would be very xcellent.

I should say in order not to interrupt my v1.0 pbem i have installed a second copy of the game next to the first and renamed it winspww2v1.1 this is the folder where I am installing the patch, but no joy.
Game tells me its v1.1 and the winspww2 executable has grown from 1831 to 1852 but Mobhack info remains at 13 June
Probably my stupid permissions again.

Best regards Chuck.

Yes, I have installed the patch in the wrong place.

My game screen says v1.1 but the GB OOB file still says June 06. How do I make sure it is installed in the right place?

The patch has it's own installer. Just click the unzipped file and follow the install procedure. Select the main game folder for the game you want to update to version 1.1 for the installer to copy the files into. It'll automatically update the OB (and other) subfolders too.

This is exactly what I have done

.
I don't understand, I looks and plays just like v1.1. It's labelled in game v1.1. I have all the new scenarios. But the OOB is still labelled according to the old update.

hmm - I just redownloaded the patch and extracted it to a scratch directory. It looks like the intended batch of UK/Commonwealth OOBS did not get included.

We'll look into this to see what went wrong.

Cheers
