Thanks for update!

As always, excellent work gentleman.

One question, what does the new three arrow button in the setup menu? It doesn't say when you paas the mouse over it, and pressing it does nothing either. My guess is an upcoming feature?

Such beauty WWII on widescreen!!!!! Yes I know I'm a sick puppy!!!

Again, many thanks.

BTW, really like the Desert Houses.

It's used to re-join crews from guns or vehicles that have been loaded then unloaded from transport aircraft during deployment and is part of the 'j'oin code mentioned in the release notes. We'll make sure text is added to describe that for the next release

The in exe fix for explorer doesn't work on my machine.
Everything is all speckly.
I have to still use the cmd file fix.

I have win 7 ultimate pro 64bit.

Did you read the sticky thread immediately below this re Windows 7 and Vista installation?

(Which is the thread you should have posted to, really)

In particular - where do you have your game installed?. See that sticky thread for details - I'm betting that you have it in the default /program files/ - where it should not be.

Cheers
Andy

You'd lose that bet, mate.
It's installed in D:\WinspWW2 and previously had up to patch 4.25 applied.

When we released this patch it included a new GameOptions that would auto detect what OS you are using and whether you wanted fullscreen or windowed then, depending on the combination, launched a CMD file command if required.

That said, I'm not sure what you mean by "The in exe fix" as all game options is doing is running a modified cmd file fix if it thinks you need it and there is very little difference between the originally posted "cmd file fix" and what we've automated into Game Options

Have downloaded patch 4.5 for SPWW2 into a separate folder as instructed (Windows 7) but how to I apply the files into the actual game itself? I are a dummy on this one... thanks

I'll assume that you don't know anything then

!

A) There are seven patch files. All patches require to be installed in ascending order. 1.1 -> 4.5. So firstly, download them all to a folder on your hard drive. (Someday we will have to make a consolidated patch)

B) Read the "Windows Vista and Windows Seven Installation" sticky thread message #1 for the details. Especially read "Step 1".

B.1) i.e. you will have to first install the game as described there, changing the installation path from the default "Program Files" to something as described.

B.2) Then run each patch installer 1.1 through 4.5 in turn changing the path to the one you installed the game under. Patch files are self-installing executables - double click on the patch file to run it.

Cheers
Andy
