How-To Patche(s) - Step-by-Step?
 

Hey fellas :)

I have been a preety 'ol fan of IL-2 series n just got my hands on the latest in series IL-2 CoD but down with hell'va bugs.:rolleyes:

I am currently having this game version: 1.0.13954 (April 8, 2011)
and would like to update this.

But as am not following the previous/latest released patches scattered all over the forum so could somebody help me with the applicable patches for my version?
Am asking this as I would soon be getting a new rig and need to shift/manually install all the updates/patches since I won't be having internet connectivity for a considerably long amt. of time :(

So, in short whats the next version of the patch i should install after this v.1.0.13954 (April 8, 2011) ??:confused:

You need to let steam update you to the latest version, only beta patches are available for manual download.

Hey thanx for replying fast

:( but.. only beta patches..??

so is this my current v.1.0.13954 (April 8, 2011) a beta or the release/final patch?

Could somebody guide me to any link where i could find the final patch? :(

Also, with which patch (please quote the version) should i update my current version? beta will also do.. as it is unplayable as of now :mad:
Reg,

Just start your game, steam will update it automatically, as your version is obsolete.

"..Am asking this as I would soon be getting a new rig and need to shift/manually install all the updates/patches since I won't be having internet connectivity for a considerably long amt. of time.."

just quote the version number.. please :confused:

tell me the version for the >
latest one (final) and
>the one which i should install after my current version (stated above)

(and is available for direct download..doesn't matter if it is a beta..coz i will test it accordingly n then patch it again later)

bump~ :(

Hi echo9.
Your version is a final release.. all "beta patches" are just manual installs of actual official patches, released by devs to let us test it before making it "official patch".
To update your version to the latest one (currently 1.02.xxxx) you just need to start the sim from steam and it will automatically update.
If it doesnt open steam client -> games library -> right click on ClOD
The in the tab "Updates" you should find "Keep this updated via Steam Updater" or something like that.
Sorry if i miss-translated something, english is not my native language ;)

S!

hey thanx for the info bro :)

but am not able to find the latest version's downloadable patch.

for the v.1.02 patch where can i directly download it from?

The point is: This patch does not exist.

If you update your installed CloD with Steam update, you have the most recent version. Period.

If you cannot update your installed CloD with Steam update, well, you cannot. Period again.

(All beta-patches published previously are already outdated compared to the most recent version available through steam update.)

I hope this is clear now.

Allright.. but could someone please explain me whats in here: http://www.1cfiles.com/IL2_CliffsofDover/
:cool:
here i found the 14072 update .. upto the latest patch(beta)
version 14762 :D (oh btw this one...the 14762 is released on 21st june, 2011 ;))

Ok, again slowly:

ALL patches that one can download are beta-patches and obsolete now!

The only way to have a actual version is through steam!

If you can't get online you can't get the actual patch, which is 14821, iirc.

ohhww.. :D plz dont flame me.. but even betaS will do for me.. as i won't be online much of the time so.. :)

Anyways.. these will still work as u said that the latest is 14821 n the one i reported latest (IN BETA) is 14762 (of which the 14821 is the successor of this 14762 :) )

Allright..I got the scene :cool:

Anways.. thanks for the info :)

These are the beta-patches released to test before the official steam update (which sometimes differed slightly from the preceeding patch).

You cannot take the DVD-Version and apply all those beta patches consecutivly, because each patch relies on the previous, official steam update.

Just believe us:

uhoh.. :( there i go...all the way down

That isn't fair.. I din't bought this game for this "no way ahead" thingy :confused:

but there must be some kind of mechanism to retrieve those downloaded updates..even from steam ?? so that people can make a backup.. err?

14762 is the last beta patch.It can only be installed over the official 14550 patch which is now obsolete.(so is the beta)

The latest official patch is version 14821 and is only available from Steam.Start your game and Steam will install everything needed to be up to date.

Beta patches can only be installed over the previous official patch.Since the official patches are not available except for the latest you can not install betas.

There are no d/l for official patches.Only Steam.

No need for backup as you can d/l the game anytime.It is tied to your Steam account.But there is a Steam backup that will backup your game files.

In order to install/run your game you need Steam.Even offline.There is a setting in Steam for offline play but you must have Steam installed to get to that setting.

hmm...:!: is the xx762 thingy only for the xx550 official patch?

Thanks for this great piece of info :)

You would tell it how you have an old program like that (April 8.) ?

It would be necessary to buy the program possibly. Did you buy the game? If yes, you would know that the "CD version" only installs the Steam, and from there downloads all! All patches also DL from Steam. There is not a "CD version" game.

So, the simplest solution, buy the game.
