Default 1946 and Steam

One of the original BlitzPigs is wanting to get back into '46. Is the Steam version compatible online with non Steam versions?

Also is the Steam version up to date as far as DT updates goes?

The Steam version should be compatible as it's the same game as the disc version. The difference is that you download it with Steam. As for the game version I don't know as I have the disk version of the game.

One thing to note is that Steam installs under Program Files (maybe you can change that, but I'm not sure). The downloaded games are installed under Steam which is under Program Files, so you can't adjust the conf.ini settings that way. If you want to adjust the conf.ini settings you'd need to do some things differently than the default Steam install way, but I can't help you further with this as I don't have the 1946 Steam version.

The Steam version is current up to 4.12. IIRC. Don't go online, so I've no idea.

I'm running the disc version and friends with the Steam version can still join any missions I host ok. Not sure how quick Steam is on the update front but said friends have installed the TD patches manually before they got on Steam without any dramas so it should be fine.

Thanks for the info...

Sorry for the late reply, but for some reason I am no longer getting email notifications of my thread posts anymore.

IIRC, you can just copy the IL2 game directory from the Steam folder to another location and treat it like any normal IL2 installation. (I don't have the Steam version, but I remember reading this somewhere.)
