Post by Lord Zimoa »

Hi guys,

The Commander The Great War Open Beta Patch 1.6.0 is now life on Steam and for non-Steam users available in the Matrix Members area.

You don`t need to install any previous patches!


General tips for PC and Steam:

As this is an OPEN BETA and we have so many big changes to test, if you cannot handle the occasional bug or dont feel like helping us out ironing out any bugs you can find, please DO NOT participate in the OPEN BETA TESTING.

Multiplayer games for this OPEN BETA are on the BETA server, so you CANNOT continue ongoing games you will have to swap back to the official 1.5.2 version. But please start new MP games with the 1.6.0 Open Beta Patch, as we need some help testing here.




For Steam go to your Library, right-click on the CTGW game, select Properties, tab Betas and select "beta-"


Important notes!!!:


- Verify the files before you fire up the game on Steam!!

How: Go to your Library, right-click the CTGW game, select properties, tab Local Files, select "Verify Integrity of Game Cache".


- As this is an Open Beta Patch MP games are handled by Slitherine`s Beta Servers!!

How: So you will not be able to continue ongoing MP games, but start please new MP games to test!




For non Steam PC users, you can download the CTGW 1.6.0 Open Beta Patch from the Matrix Members area, it does not matter if you purchased your game on Matrix or Slitherine it will work for both, just make sure you have your serial number by hand (in your original purchase email or printed on your DVD!


How: Go to http://www.matrixgames.com/members/members.asp
Select register your game (you will need your serial number), after this you can find your registerd game under "My Games". Select and click "Registered" to download the zipped patch, open and follow install instructions.

This seems like it is your anti-virus or firewall interfering as we cannot reproduce it here. Try to disable it for the download.

Don't work.
I use Kaspersky Internet Security.
I disabled it - no success. [:(]

It seems I have a general update problem.
I reported in the 'Tech Support' section.

I've tried installing twice, second time after re-downloading with my anti-virus (Avast) turned off and my install stops at exactly this point. However when I now go to the Credits page in the game it is showing 1.6.0.

Seems to be working, i.e. I can start a scenario but don't know if it has actually properly updated.

Thank you Wolfe for the report.

I confirm the same behavior and also with me in the credits now 1.6.0.
Confusing, very confusing ... [&:]

Is there a way to check whether we are actually using now 1.6.0. ?

Still not sure how to check if my 1.6.0 is installed correctly.

@Wolfe:

Old remark from two weeks ago, so irrelevant. I removed it or people could get confused...



You can see if you updated correctly easily, go to the Credits menu and check the game number, if it says 1.6.0 in the top right corner, you are ok.

Also do NOT use the check for update button as this is a Beta build and you do NOT need any previous patches.

In case you ran into problems, just install CTGW fresh and put the 1.6.0 Beta zip on top, that is all you need to do.
