OOB Issue.

I'm thinking this would belong here, as it has to do with the OOB part of the SPMBT.

I'm not sure exactly what's going on, but I seem to be missing icons for certain units(for example, the BM-21 Grad for Egypt is missing both an icon and image). I actually don't know how long it's been like this, since I only realized it recently when I started to play the "Thunder in the Sinai" campaign.

As far as I know, I had no such problems till I updated SPMBT with the 6.0 consolidated patch. I'm wondering if it has anything to do with my first installing the game into program files(I have win 7), along with the patch, then moving it out of program files(I kept encountering "DLL missing" problems when installing directly into C: but no problem when installing into program files then moving it out to C

I also am missing images for certain vehicles, some of which are missing icons. Has anyone else encountered a similar problem by any chance or is a mistake I made?

Not used the consolidated patch but
a) If you were already at version 6 & then installed that over I suppose there is a slim chance it did not install correctly, apply it over a vanilla copy.
b) You did direct the patch to the folder your game is now installed in & not just let the system install it to where it thinks the game is which would be where you first installed it.

I would reckon option b) is your issue.

Installed into Program Files, then simply moving it out?
I guess it's possible that some of the patch files were installed into the virtual store, and stayed there, so the game can't find them any more.

Try looking through the %localappdata%\VirtualStore folder, maybe they are in there.

RE-INSTALL the game outside program files then patch with the consolidation patch and you're problems will be over. That patch has been out for months , if there were Icons and photos missing we would have heard about it in the first three days

Then it's as I thought, a fault of my own.
Thanks for the assistance.

I think I found the issue. I somehow ended up with a faulty/incomplete patch. Downloaded the correct one from the main page.

Thanks again.
