March 2013 update (news and discussion)

[Dane49]

I downloaded and installed gtos mar13c4 patch.  However when I save and play I see 581(2170) Mar13c2 as the version number in the upper right corner.  Shouldn't I have Mar13c4?
I already have gtos cu 581.c1 eng.exe installed. 

My game says the same.
The only thing I noticed that changed after I updated with the new patch is my game update in the updater went from 4.04 to 4.05.

Yes, I noticed that also.  Thanks for the answers guys.  I just wish they would put a serial number on their patches that you could correlate with the number on the splash screen when you start your game.  Too logical I guess.

Hi Andrey,


I found .. gtos_hir_tex_01_jul13 .. on GG.com this morning. 

Is this the updated Hi-Res textures with the T-55 etc.?


Cheers
Tom

@Thomasew
Certainly looks like it.
Just grabbed it - version 1.04 @>380mb
T-55 is in the encyclopedia + plus some other goodies. 

[WallysWorld]

Same here. The hi-res version in the updater went from 1.01 to 1.04 as chashka17 posted.

[andrey12345]

Yes, Hi-res textures now updated. Put at the top of everything else.

[mercholein]

Before installing the updated high resolution pack, uninstall the older one ?

I didn't uninstall the previous version. The updater takes care of installing the updated packs.

[andrey12345]

Before installing the updated high resolution pack, uninstall the older one ?

This is done automatically by the installer.

Hi there,
I am a long term fan of this game. Like many (I suspect) I switch from APOS to the CM series and back. I am now back here, having splashed out on Operation Hooper, Zhalanashkol 1969, Shield of the Prophet and Operation Star DLC: High Resolution Textures Pack 1. Before I load them could some kind soul please tell me which new patches I should install (and in which order)? Also are there any newer uniform mods out there which are compatible with the latest patches?
Currently I have on my system
1. VAPOSM v1.5
2. Skins Mod v0.02
3. Add on Krasnaya Polyana 1943 v1.01
4. Add on Blau 1942 v1.09
5. Add on Sokolovo 1943 v1.07
6. District update v1.03
7. Game update v3.09

Thanks in advance and all power to Graviteam!
