Re: Order of Battle - Update v.6.1.8
I wonder if it would be better to direct people to http://www.matrixgames.com/products/lat ... loads.asp? for a patch because that members area thing is always confusing; to me at least. I went there, and it's asking me to register with a serial number for the patch. Instead, I just downloaded the patch from here (thank you, by the way):

Re: Order of Battle - Update v.6.1.8
By the way, do people need to apply this over 6.1.7 or can future Windows PC noobs (Mac is another story) just install OrderOfBattle-WorldWarII-Setup64Release-v5.2.1 and then apply this 6.1.8 patch directly, bypassing 6.1.7?
EDIT: This is why I am asking. I did a fresh install for 6.1.7, starting with 5.2.1 and it was fine. Now, I assume, I can just apply 6.1.8 over that but what does a new customer do? Start with 5.2.1 and go directly to 6.1.8? What catches my eye is that 6.1.7 had a "part 2" whereas 6.1.8 does not:
EDIT 2: See comments by Gabe and Shards below.

You'll need to upgrade to 6.1.7 first.

Re: Order of Battle - Update v.6.1.8
Very good, thanks. So existing customers on 6.1.7 can just apply 6.1.8 immediately but new customers need to start with 5.2.1, update to 6.1.7 (inserting DLC serial numbers in the process), and then apply 6.1.8. As I said, Mac is another matter; I don't know Mac.

Re: Order of Battle - Update v.6.1.8
Sorry if I'm wrong, but to me it looks more like "new customers" (fresh install) could skip the v5.2.1 install entirely.bru888 wrote:Very good, thanks.

=> The v6.1.7 claims to be a setup release with the v6.1.8 as update release (?)
Re: Order of Battle - Update v.6.1.8
Yes, the 5.2.1 isnt' available anymore. Players should start with 6.1.7

Good, the "Baukommando_Becker" entry is finally within the "specialisation" column of the units.csv file.AlbertoC wrote: • SdKfz 135/1 self-propelled artillery added for Baukommando Becker specialization

Thanks.
Re: Order of Battle - Update v.6.1.8
I've spotted new issue.
Graphics were repaired during switching equipment mode, but when we switch, for example, StuG to indirect fire mode, then the camouflage doesn't work
I haven't checked it in other vehicles but I suspect that this problem will also affect Flak and other self-propelled artillery

Re: Order of Battle - Update v.6.1.8
Not all. Has to be a problem with just a few units (like StuG). The FlaK88 and StuH42 have no such issue.kondi754 wrote:I've spotted new issue.

thanks!!!! for update!!!
Re: Order of Battle - Update v.6.1.8
Hey i now realise the paratrooper must stay in city hex as long as it tranfers all supply. If not, the city will change side and cut off my supply line (somtimes, it forces me to restart).
Is it a bug? Or just mechanic to nerf paratrooper ?

Re: Order of Battle - Update v.6.1.8
It's more to nerf lone tanks bursting through out of supply after the initial supply loss from being cut off was made kinderGabeKnight wrote:New mechanic.

Hi the MAC installer does not download. The secondary server gives a 'no permission to view the page' and the primary server gives another error. I just want to flag this. Thank you
