Problem with newest patch - Only option available is Sandbox

Post by zouave1862 »

Ok I have downloaded the 1.51 and 161 patches / updates and when I start the game, the only options I have after choosing single player are sandbox, tutorials and load saved game. No Gettysburg scenarios, no antietam or Chancellorsville. What am I doing wrong? I tried doing the check for updates again thru Matrix and it just tells me that my game is current with all updates.

You may be using old versions of previous installers. Have a look at this post.

I registered my games with Matrix. the updates Matrix shows when I click on "registered" next to SOW Gettysburg is the 1.51 patch which I already downloaded. I then checked for updates on the Matric screen that now comes up when I try to start the game and proceeeded to download the 1.6 patch. Did that and am at teh point where the only option that I have for single player is sandbox or load a saved game. Nothing else.

When I click on the check for updates on the intro screen it says that I have all the current updates to the game.

Maybe it was a corrupt download of the newest update? Any idea how I can redo that? Do I need to redo?

Sorry I am clueless on this.

Good idea! Make sure you uninstall through SOW, this will clean your Registry entries.

Ok that took care of the problem. After uninstalling everything and reinstalling, it works.
