Get the Combat Mission: Shock Force v1.31 Patch off WP (25mb)

!!! EXTREMELY IMPORTANT!
COMBAT MISSION SHOCK FORCE VERSION REQUIREMENT:

This v1.31 Patch is for you if the following applies to you: - you own Combat Mission Shock Force and have a running version updated to v1.21 or v1.30

It does not matter where you purchased the game, or if you have any Modules installed or not. If you are playing CMSF v1.21 or v1.30 now, with or without any one of the modules or all of them, then you can install this patch.

!!! IMPORTANT!

During installation, this patch will allow you to select which components of the game you would like to patch. Multiple choices are allowed, and you have to choose ALL the game components that you have currently installed for the patch to work correctly. Multiple choices are possible. The choices include:

• CMSF (you select this if you have just the base game and no modules installed)
• Marines Module (you select this if you have the Marines module)
• British Forces Module (you select this if you have the British Forces module)
• NATO Module (you select this if you have the NATO module)

Example: if you have CMSF and all three modules, you would make sure that all four options are CHECKED.

Example Two: if you have CMSF and only the NATO module, and no other modules, you would make sure that the options for CMSF and NATO are CHECKED, and the options for Marines and British Forces are UNCHECKED

If you make a mistake, simply re-run the patch and make sure to select the right components to update.

PREVIOUS SAVE GAME COMPATIBILITY NOTE:

NOTE: Save games from v1.30 and 1.21 ARE COMPATIBLE with v1.31, provided that you save your turn-based games in the COMMAND phase (not the replay phase) before upgrading to v1.31.

COMPATIBILITY WITH MODS:

Due to the potential of conflicts with pre v1.31 game Mods, we advise uninstalling any mods prior to installing this Game patch. Mod authors will need to updated their mods using the v1.31 strings.txt embedded into the new "Version 131.brz" file.

CMSF CUSTOM HOTKEYS.TXT NOTE:

Due to changes added in the v1.31 game code, your existing hotkeys file (which contains any customized key command settings and bindings) will be overwritten with this installer. If you had assigned custom hotkeys in the past, you will want to backup your Data\hotkeys.txt file before installing this patch. Once the patch is installed, you can compare your setting within the old (saved) file with the new one and copy in your old settings. Do not simply overwrite the new file with the old one though, that will not work and could cause the game to malfunction.
