Ok. I'm patched up through 4.11.1 and everything looks and runs well.
I tested after each patch then moved on to the next. I also printed out each new "readme" as I went along.
Impressive amount of work done by the team. The self installing patches worked well and were very welcome. (Just remember to change the default directory if required). Some manual patches with lengthy step-by-step procedures are nightmares to get through without error.
The poster I mentioned did suggest playing with 4.07 for awhile before patching but I failed to see the advantage to that.
CLod has the advantage in ground scenery and graphic resolution for sure but 1946 looks very good and the scope, depth, and immersive potential seem superior.
I also, as stated, have had no issues installing and running under Windows 8. I did install in a separate Games directory outside of the Program directories.
Looking forward to having 1946 on my drive for a long time to come.
