Sorry. The instructions are not clear to me. At step 2 the patch unpacks into my downloads folder. I start the update from there  by double clicking and point to the folder with the installed game which is Computer\ Programs86\ Actung Panzer Operation Star. At step 5, in game, I click on update and there seems to be nothing there. As directed in step 6 i click the install button and here is where I get lost. HELP!

Patch is a regular SFX archive (by 7zip), unpack it to "short" folder, for example C:\apos_temp (after install delete this).
In step 6 select file in this folder (C:\apos_temp\CORE...) And click ok.

[GBS]

Is this C:\apos_temp an existing one or do I create a new folder on say the desktop and name it this?

[GBS]

I can't seem to get it. If I totally delete the game and re-download it from gamersgate using my activation key, will it be in updated form?

[GBS]

I created a file in C named apos_temp and an unpacked the patch there. In that file I see a folder named CORE and a readme. What do I do now? The funny thing is I have owned two of your other games and have patched them. I guess I'm getting old.

In update utility select file (desc.addpack) in CORE folder

Hey Guys,
Since installing the update and patch, i cant load saved games anymore.
I click save and exit, it seems to save ok, when i restart the came and press continue to start the saved game it just restarts from the begining, abit of a pain if youre 2 and a half hours in to a battle and lose it all!
Apart from that, and the annoying "Blue halo/ring" around selected units (i wish there was an option to disable it, and the command rings when you choose the artillary bombardment area) its still in my opinion the best game of its type on the market.
I love the historical realism, well done.
Keep up the good work.

PS. Can we have some SigRunes (lighting flashes) on the SS Soldiers helmets, historical markings please, thanks!

gbs, make shure the update577 installs on the correct folder, my tries to install in program file, not program files (x86). If its installs correct the ingame updater starts automaticly. the add the Nov11 update.

[GBS]

Xambriam, I have the game installed in programs x86.

When i click on UPDATE in the main menu of the game there is nothing in it! How do I get the said CORE folder to show up there. Frustrating as hell when I'm not sure I'm following your terminology. I appreciate you trying to help though.

[Schuck]

Hey GBS.
Hope i can help, start the game as normal, it should say "Version 577" in the top right hand corner of the screen.
If it dosnt you need to run the Version update first.
Please note the Update and patch are two seperate things!
If it does say 577, click on the updater, the boxes will be empty. Click on install, in the game folder (CORE) find the file "desc.pack", click on that then click on "save and play"
When the game launches it should say "Version 5.77 (1420) Update Oct11"

[GBS]

Thank you. I have both the patch and update downloaded. When I start my game it shows version 5.75 in the upper right so I run the update. I get a message that says "successfully installed, click Finish to complete." When I restart the game it still says version 5.75. Do we have to use the in game update utility or can we somehow just manually copy the updated files in the "patch" into the game?

Yes, but the original instalation path from the 577 update ignores the (x86) , you have to edit it when you choose instalation folder for the update 577.

[Tac Error]

Another problem with the current patch is that all the encyclopedia entries are duplicated. Hope that will be fixed in the December patch.

Ok. Recorded in the plans

[Tac Error]

Another problem to report: If you try to check LOS with the `/~ key if the selected squad or vehicle is outside of your screen, the LOS bar will not show up until you have the unit appearing on your screen.
