Patch: NEW__WinSPWW2v7.11_(2014)_Upgrade

[DRG]

Not quite yet

As of 5:45 am this morning a (R)evised winSPMBT patch was posted to the Shrapnel servers to add a revised SHP file that made it to the winSPWW2 patch but not the winSPMBT patch.

Anyone who uses the opfire filtering routine will need to download this (R)evised patch ( it's been renamed to WinSPMBTv8_(2014)_Upgrade(R).exe ) the problem corrected ONLY affects the Opfire routine screen so anyone just using the free version of the game does not need to download the revised patch a second time but if you own the extended version and use the Opfire routine you should DL and install the revised patch. Re-installing the (R) patch should not affect any secure PBEM games you may have started as it only substitutes a SHP file.

I apologize for this error but please NOTE : This does NOT affect winSPWW2. That patch has the correct SHP file already but I'm posting this here as a reminder to players of both games

A 7.1 version of the patch has been posted in place of the 7.0 version to correct a code issue and is now available to DL from Shrapnel

The code issue corrected was the visibility change button in the view map screen was disconnected from the code that made it work. This has been corrected and a revised patch issue as version 7.1. We felt it was better to do it this way than issue a separate V7.1 mini patch

A 7.11 version of the patch has been posted to correct the higher 4:3 resolution "clipping" issue. We have included the following information in the original Post #1

~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~ ~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~
Please note: The WinSPWW2v7.11_(2014)_Upgrade patch that is currently available to download replaces the original winSPWW2 version 7.0 patch that had a bug with the visibility change button in the view map screen that caused it to be disconnected from the code that made it work. We re-issued the patch as version 7.1 at the end of March 2014. Recently it was discovered that a line of code for display of the higher resolutions---mainly 1600x1200 but sometimes 1280x1040 as well to be "clipped" and not display properly and this is what the 7.11 version of the 2014 patch resolves that is now available-------however please note this bug does NOT affect the "Desktop" resolution available to extended version (CD) holders. If you are running the DL version of the game there is no need to DL and install the newest version of the 2014 patch as none of the issues affect the DL version and the OOB's are unchanged so there is no affect on secure PBEM. Owners of the extended (CD) version should DL the 7.11 version if they plan to run the game in a resolution other than desktop or if they have the 7.0 version and want to use the change visibility function of the view map screen.

We apologize for this inconvenience

Howdy. I am considering purchasing the winSPWW2 v.5.0 physical CD (Safebox Version) and have a question.

How many update downloads will be required to reach version 7.11, i.e., is there a "chain" of upgrades or does 7.11 include all previous upgrades since v.5.0 ?

Cheers!

Hi!

There are two more patches to install after that: version 6, then version 7.11.

There is only one version (consolidation patch) that includes all previous versions, and that is version 5. Already included (pre installed) with your CD enhanced edition.
