Is the 1.02.03 update fine for you?
After months of playing 1.02.01 without a hitch, I updated to 1.02.03 today and a bug bit me straightaway!
I've asked about it in the bug reports forum-
viewtopic.php?f=464&t=97527
but in the meantime can i ask if any other members are having problems with the update?
And if it can't be fixed is there any way I can go back to dear old 1.02.01?

As I bought Panzer Corps 2 at GOG I can just install any older version. Most time I have two versions on my PC at the same time. Useful for Mod development.
If you use Steam there may be no way back. That’s one of several reasons I never use Steam.

If in the last update there is a major bug, a hotfix usually comes out quickly. I have no particular problem with the last PzC2 patch and it is always better to play with the latest release.

Re: Is the 1.02.03 update fine for you?
This below, look how the Russian-occupied victory/supply hexes are white instead of being red.
It also happens no matter what nationality/colour my units are, namely the hexes stay white when captured.
It only happens with my human-controlled units, as the AI's hexes change colour normally.
So I had no option but to uninstall the game then re-install it and update it to 1.1.21 which works fine.
Incidentally this below is 'My Page' at Slith/Matrix, I originally installed the circled download, then installed 1.02.03 at the top of the list and the 'white hex' bug showed up.
Notice it says 'US', and as I'm in England maybe it doesn't work for us Limeys?
Or should I have installed the one called 1.02.01.01 before 1.02.03 ?
Its 'US' too and is called 'Legacy' whatever that means?
BTW I bought and downloaded General Edition from Slith/Matrix when it was released 2 years ago, and I'm beginning to wonder whether I should have bought it from Steam instead so that it'd be auto-updated without me having the hassle of having to do it manually.

Could you post a screenshot with version 1.1.21 to compare ?

If you'd of got it from Steam you'd have had no opportunity to revert to an earlier version.PoorOldSpike wrote: ↑Thu Jan 13, 2022 10:56 pm

However if you wish, because you bought it from Slith, you can in fact register it on Steam as well. That doesn't work the other way around.
As for the bug thats forced you to revert, its already been reported in the bugs thread. For some reason the default colour is always grey/white. Not been noticed before as most of the time you're playing as Germans .. who are naturally grey/white.
I've not heard of any plan to fix this though it'll need to be done for Pacific. I would of thought though that it would of been there from release so I'm surprised its not present in a previous version. A screenshot would be very useful.

Scroll back a couple of posts and you'll see my Russkis sitting in an objective hex in 1.02.03 but it hasn't changed colour to Russian red like it should have done, it stays white.terminator wrote: ↑Fri Jan 14, 2022 2:58 am Could you post a screenshot with version 1.1.21 to compare ?
Same thing happens with all other nations such as Brit and USA green, the hex stays white instead of green, and for Germans the hex also stays white instead of changing to light grey.
Here's a screenshot from dear old 1.01.21 which i've reverted to, the Russki hex is correctly red, and the German hex is correctly light grey..
PS- what's a "Steam key"? What's it for?

When at the 'STEAM' webpage... Go to… ~GAMES... ~VIEW GAMES LIBRARY. To then activate your 'PzC2' that hopefully is in your listings of games. Find the header tab- Games _ "click on it"... then!... "click on_ view games library'_ which will then show all the games that you have access to on STEAM ... and then... somewhere in this process [Its been years since I had to do it] you will be asked to provide a 'Steam key' to 'Activate' the Game.
If I have missed something here or that I am incorrect!... please someone else, try help to make this right.

I bought PC2 from Slith/Matrix, not from Steam, so it's not in my list of games at Steam anyway.Retributarr wrote: ↑Fri Jan 14, 2022 1:07 pmWhen at the 'STEAM' webpage... Go to… ~GAMES... ~VIEW GAMES LIBRARY. To then activate your 'PzC2' that hopefully is in your listings of games...
Incidentally a while back I asked in this forum if it's best to buy our games from Slith/Matrix or from Steam, and a mod replied that he'd prefer us to buy from Slith/Matrix, not from Steam. That raises the question as to why Slith/Matrix make their games available for purchase from Steam anyway!
Re: Is the 1.02.03 update fine for you?
When you buy from Slitherline you can get a 'Steam Key' from your 'My Page'.
Slitherline uses Steam for the PzC2 Betas, easier updates and data tracking.
People will buy from Steam who wouldn't buy it from Slitherline,

Re: Is the 1.02.03 update fine for you?
My biggest beef with Steam is that it auto-updates games, and there seems no way to turn it off.
This means that when you want to play a Steam-bought game, there's always the risk that it'll begin auto-updating and you have to sit twiddling your thumbs waiting for the auto-update to finish, which could take an hour or more.
What's needed is a message at Steam saying "Update available, start download now or later?" so that we can choose to download it later at a convenient time.

The PC2 1.2.3 update which I downloaded from Slith/Matrix has at least one bug as I pointed out earlier in this thread.terminator wrote: ↑Thu Jan 20, 2022 6:02 am Did you not see all the problems that there were as soon as there were updates ? No problem with Steam

Are you saying that if we download it from Steam it doesn't contain the bug?

No, it’s exactly the same game. This bug is a minor bug only cosmetic.PoorOldSpike wrote: ↑Thu Jan 20, 2022 6:12 am The PC2 1.2.3 update which I downloaded from Slith/Matrix has at least one bug as I pointed out earlier in this thread.

Re: Is the 1.02.03 update fine for you?
Nevertheless the 1.2.3 hexes borders look boring because they always stay white when you capture them, i once had a ladyfriend like that who turned up on dates wearing the same boring old clothes so I ditched her, pity because I was planning to buy her a Wonder Woman outfit.terminator wrote: ↑Thu Jan 20, 2022 6:25 am No, it’s exactly the same game.

PS- I think every new game update (not just PC2) carries the risk of botching up the game, this guy says so too-
