Patch version

[Troll2k]

I believe the latest beta patch is 14 214.When it becomes official it will be on steam for automatic d/l with a new version number.

As far as I know patches must be installed in order.Not a problem for steam.

Beta patches must be manually installed.

14101 is my version number at present..

14101 is the version on the splash screen, even after updating to 14214. Makes it all a bit confusing...

Lange, I don't think you are correct. If you have installed the beta patch correctly, you should have a 14214 version showing.

[666th_Lange]

Well, you might be correct but then i have no clue on how to install it correctly because all there is is a zip file with 2 directory's into them (Paintschemes and Parts), including some subdirectory's but without any readme on what goes where. As far as i know, i needed to extract those into the steam cliffs of dover directory which i did. And that does not give me 14214 on the splash screen.

First: If there is more to it then above i would like to know where to find that information?

Secondly, why is that patch not offered through Steam in the first place? If i go for update through Steam with my 14101 version, Steam tells me there is no update (downloadable content) available. Makes it even more confusing... why isn't that patch released through Steam if Steam id the only to get your game going? And saying it's just a beta doesn't help because then this whole shitty product shouldn't haven been released in the first place.

BTW, i do have a readme file dating from 23-04-11 (when i applied that 14214 patch) stating this:
README V1.2
GAME VERSION 1.0.14101
(April 18, 2011)

It is not on Steam because it a test beta patch. All test beta patches are installed manually. Copy and paste over same named folders but I think you should wait for the official patch through steam any time now...

If you do it correct, it should show 1.00.14214 on main menu, I use Winrar running as administrator set in settings (right-click and open utilities or what it's called, using non english myself, and open Compatibility menu, then select 'Run as admin')
I have my steam installed in C:\games, so it's probably slightly different from mine.
Extract the beta udate manually into C:\Games\Steam\steamapps\common\il-2 sturmovik cliffs of dover.
