Im new to this game. Im not very computer savy when it comes to installing this sort of patch. I'm sure its easy just need to know how. Its a .rar file

Any help would be great.

just wait for the next 'official' patch that will be installed automaticly over STEAM.
avoid these BETA patches is my recommondation.
they are called not without a reason 'BETA' ....

I dont have a steam version. Im not computer stupid, just not sure how to install this patch. At the rate these updates come out, I would like to at least know how to do it.

Download patch and hotfix.

Clear game cache folder

Code:

[Documents]\1C SoftClub\il-2 sturmovik cliffs of dover\cache

Use winrar to extract the patch to your install folder which is typically

Code:

C:\Program Files (x86)\Steam\steamapps\common\il-2 sturmovik cliffs of dover\

Test the program runs and the correct version is displayed.

Install hotfix and test again.

Official patches are installed automatically by Steam. All ClOD versions use steam.

This beta parches are meant for testing. If you want to install them just extract the files in the .rar file into your main game folder, wich is ....\Steam\SteamApps\common\il-2 sturmovik cliffs of dover.

When a new official patch is released, Steam will overwrite the beta with the new official version.

Any time you want to get rid of a beta you don't like, just have Steam verify the integrity of your game files.
