Confused about patches

Post by MikeCK »

Hey guys, I haven't played SoW or visited the forum in months. I'm ready to fire it up again but am confused with the whole matrix deal. What is the 1.5 patch? Does it add anything or just make it matrix compatible? From what I understand, I install the 1.5 patch, it will ask for my activation codes, and then I am good to go right? Btw, did I miss the 1.4 patch?

Well, I was hoping someone would address this, but since it appears I'm only around for this, I'll take a stab.

From what I understand, it should be easy now. First off, have all your reg codes ready to input, GB plus your expansions. Then:

Download the 1.5 install patch from Matrix.
Or, this one: ftp://ftp.matrixgames.com/pub/ScourgeOf ... 150rev.zip

Installation:
During the install it will ask for the codes, fill them in.
When it asks for the install preference folder, you can opt a new folder with a unique name, or just continue with the default, Matrix Games...

I think that's it...

Note: doesn't matter which patch you presently have

Thanks RB. I was too busy watching my National League West Champion SF Giants win yet another game.

:P

There's a changes.txt found in your main game directory that lists all changes for each patch.
