Flashpoint Campaigns: Red Storm version 2.08 is now available!
Just in time for the holidays the hardworking lads over at On Target Simulations present you with a new update for Flashpoint Campaigns: Red Storm, the award-winning wargame set during the cold war. This patch brings a number of balance improvements, enhancements and fixes. The continuous development of Flashpoint Campaigns: Red Storm would not have been possible without the valuable feedback and ideas from the community. Thanks all!
In Flashpoint Campaigns: Red Storm, you are the commander of either NATO or Soviet forces locked in battle on the ground in 1980’s Central Europe. As commander, it is your task to provide the battle plan orders to your units. You need to know your mission objectives, strength and weakness of both your forces and you enemy, lay of the land, weather, and time of day in order to come out on the winning end. Your crews will do their best to follow your orders and execute the plan, but in war, no plan survives first contact. You will need to think on the fly and adjust to the ever changing flow of battle.
The full changelog for version 2.08 can be found in the “What’s New” document.
The update can be applied by using the "Check for Updates" button on your game menu, or by downloading it directly here: ftp://ftp.matrixgames.com/pub/Flashpoin ... -v2081.zip
For the Steam release, restarting your Steam client will apply the update automatically.

It is PBEM++ and steam version of game...
RE: Flashpoint Campaigns: Red Storm version 2.08 is now available!
I can confirm I get the same error as Pekishe. I am running the Steam version of FC:RS and the issue is with PBEM ++. I started getting this issue immediately after 2.08 update was installed, it was fine prior.
When I open the game and click on the PBEM ++ link (for new and existing games), I get prompted for my login details and then get this error when I try and login:
"1 - Not enough data transferred - message incomplete"
I click "proceed" button and it takes me back to the PBEM ++ login.
I have tried several times, and also rebooted my PC (hey, you never know!), but I'm still getting issues so guessing it's most definitely related to the update.

We will look into this. The Matrix version is fine. I will check with Rob and verify that the correct exe got into the Steam package.

RE: Flashpoint Campaigns: Red Storm version 2.08 is now available!
Quick question: is there any way to apply the latest 2.08 patch after the first Matrix 2.08 patch that has the steam exe in it?
I'm just wondering if I have to completely un-install, re-install and re-apply patch?

It should update okay as it sits, if I understand the setup Matrix did. The other option would be too rename the exe file to .bak and do the update or download the comprehensive 2.08 and install.

When I click on the Update button on the menu I get a pop-up saying "Windows can not find '\update.exe'. Make sure you typed the name correctly " I bought thru Matrix and not Steam. Any ideas? Thanks. I will try the manual download link at top of this thread but was curious why the updater wasn't working.
No problem Chief!

Max 86, where did you install your matrix version? You can get the full 2.08 comprehensive from the product page downloads. I had to do that to update my Matrix test copy since the FTP failed when trying the update button. Again.

Perished, is this the ++system? Steam or Matrix game?
I solved this problem. I deleted LoginID and password than exit PBEM. Than I fill login ID and password again and everything is OK I am in multiplayer...

Pekische, Thanks for the information. I will try to test this out and then see why this happened. Glad to see you are up and running again.

For future reference: Steam gives you an option under the game preferences to 'verify integrity of the game cache', which will quickly scan all the files in your installation folder and replace any ones that aren't what Steam thinks they should be with the correct versions.
RE: Flashpoint Campaigns: Red Storm version 2.08 is now available!
I think this must be down to a config file issue post-update. Based on what the guys above me had already done to resolve this, I went into the Steam directory where FP:RS is installed and renamed the flashpoint.ini file to something else, and then restarted the game. This forced the game to create a new ini file, so all I had to do was just re-enter my PBEM ++ details again and I got logged in straight away with no errors. Very happy all is working once more!
