I have bought Achtung Panzer Operation Star pack a of year ago from Strategy First, together with 1942 and 1943 DLC. The installed version of the game is 5.75(1379). After the installation of the core game (not the DLCs) I tried to update the game following the guide in here: http://gravitac.shoutwiki.com/wiki/Installing_updates_and_modifications1) Installed the latest core update: gtos_cu_581c1_eng.exe 2) Installed the latest patch: gtos_patch_dec14_eng.gt2extension Then,when I start the game I get "start.exe" error and the only option is to close the program. Is there anything I can to to update properly? MY specs are: Windows 7 32bit, i3 530, 4GB RAM, AMD 7790

I'm not sure. Try reinstalling the game. Also, check the install path of gtos_cu_581c1_eng.exe.

I have already reinstalled 3 times, I get the same error. Also, I have checked the correct installation path of the update. The update gives no error during the installation.
How do I check if the update has been correctly installed?

Does the unpatched game work?

No luck, I get the same error (I have also installed the game at an older PC running Win7 and applied the patch. The game will not start at all, without showing any errors)

I'm sorry, but looks like you will have to play without the patch. Neither me, nor Andrey (the developer) don't know what's wrong here. Maybe the Strategy First version of the game has some kind of protection, or other kind of incompatibility.

Oh, one other thing, does your windows have a service pack installed?

I redownloaded the pack from Strategy First, installed again, patched it, same error.
I am running windows 7 with SP1 and have the latest VGA drivers.
As a final solution, is it possible to provide a link to download the binaries of the game? I can give you (in private message) the receipt of my purchase from Strategy First.

I'm afraid this is not possible. Could you prepare a list of files with their sizes and dates from the bin/rel/x86 subfolder? For example after running "dir" command in the command prompt from there. Edit: Also you could try the demo. It's only slightly older than the last patch. If it runs, then something is wrong with the Strategy First pack I guess.

The demo runs fine!!!!! There must be something wrong with Strategy First pack. I must say "Thank you" for trying to solve my problematic pack. Do you have any final suggestion from now on?

This looks like you have only the core update installed. Did you launch the updater after installing the core update? Does it start via updater.cmd in the game folder? Is December patch listed there?

The game updater starts after I installed the core update. There is nothing listed in Game updater, so I choose "Install" the "gtos_patch_dec14_eng.gt2extension" file which I have downloaded. I see a clock counting to 100% and then I have #1 | Game update | 4.18 | Enabled |. I choose "Save and Play" and magic happens: Game starts!!! Althought I have done the above two times before, now I have success. Probably the Demo modified something? I don't know for sure, but now I am very happy Thank you for your help, much appreciated
