Link not working, can you post the full link, this looks to be a partial link.

Thanks.

Sorry guys, we had a hiccup with the Members Area as we just moved server. It'll be fixed soon.

In the meanwhile you can download the patch here

Thanks

Still getting an error, say OOB - WWII not installed but I do have it installed. Will post in tech support area with screenshots.

@morge, do you have both the Beta and the Full game installed? It might be worth uninstalling the beta?

Re. Patch links. They seem to be working, something is downloading.

Did you fixed Commander Ward's bug?

There is no information.

Yes it was fixed. It may require restarting the scenario however (or attaching him in the next one).

We generally don't mention "minor" fixes on these lists.

It is good to hear , I want to play all campaigns once again. I am curious about the new system of specialization.
Thanks a lot.

I have the same. I started with the japanese campaign at the begining...!!! I love this game

Unit camouflage still doesn't work in version 2.9.6d

Hello, but just these "small" fixes would have been interesting in the mention, because here many reported and not even times the admins regestrierte errors were described. Very sad what is happening here.

Thx for the Big Patch!

Do the "small" fixes include unit stats being wiped between scenarios making some Steam achievements impossible to obtain (Ex. Purple Heart)?

For the specialization tree, will it take effect in the middle of a campaign or do we need to restart from the beginning?
