noob here

[JRock]

if anybody could help me install the forgotten battles mod i'd be greatly appreciative. i've googled and read every site and i just can't seem to get it to work with windows 7 64 bit. if anyone has, please share with me how you got it to work. the splash screen would come up, but then it would crash everytime.

also, do you install it in a different ubisoft folder? i noticed a space in ubi soft in the directory install and didn't know whether it was an error or it was a stand alone pack all together.

in any case, thanks to whomever can help me get this awesome mod.

Do not call it a mod. If U do you will not get any help. Please understand this! Uninstall everthing and begin again. FB was a stand alone version of the game. 1946 has this all in it. Forgotten Battles + Aces Expansion pack + Pacific Fighters and two more add ons. Five ion total. This version is 4.07 . You need to install patch 4.08m then patch 4.09m client In the 1946 install.
Forgotten battles is an old version of the sim. like 4.04 or something like that. So your folders can get corrupted if you do not follow the SOAP. This is from the UBI web site (Pacific Fighters )
The current version 4.04 (4.04m) is not compatible with the previous versions of simulation when playing over the network(Online). Both, the server and client, must have an appropriate versions in order to connect.

For your convenience, we have introduced different version numbers for the stand-alone installation and the merged (FB+AEP+PF) one.
4.04 – for stand alone PF

4.04m – for merged (FB+AEP+PF) This is the begining of the process of patching.


1946 Windows 7 64 possible solutions.

that's my mossberg that i used for stopping cars that were approaching too close (for the record, the shotty used bird shot and i never injured or killed anyone when i did this.). if they still kept coming after the warning shot they got the 240B treatment. i was the lead gunner in a 4 humvee convoy that patrolled the highway between tikrit and samarra, which was the most heavily IED'ed stretch of road in Iraq at the time. our platoon alone got hit by 35 ied's alone that year and lost our platoon leader and a private. they had to maintain a certain distance and move out of the way when we were rolling through or i would shoot off their side mirrors or their tail-lights. car bombs were real bad while we were there, so i wasn't taking any chances.

i'm sure some of you don't agree with these tactics, but it is what it is. i did what i had to do to keep my platoon alive and send them back home to their families.
