GENERAL PATCH INFORMATION

VERSION REQUIREMENT

This v3.11 patch of CM Battle for Normandy is all inclusive. It can be installed over any previous version of the 3.00 Upgrade, and it works for base-game only installs as well as any combination of modules or packs. Other non-Battlefront versions may not be compatible with this patch.

LICENSE ACTIVATION

After installing the patch correctly, you MAY be required to activate the game again. If you own the Vehicle Pack, you will NOT have to activate your game. If you don't own the Vehicle Pack, you WILL have to reactivate. Please follow the instructions below - IMPORTANT! THIS HAS CHANGED FROM PREVIOUS VERSIONS!

IMPORTANT! Unlike previous releases, this patch may require you to reactivate your base game (v3.0), and all other modules (if you have any) when you launch it for the first time.

Start by launching the game normally (e.g. doubleclick). You will be prompted to re-activate your game. No worries, this is not going to use up an activation.

a) Please find your CMBN Engine Upgrade v3.00 license key. Repeat: you need the v3.00 Upgrade key. Keys from v1.00 or v2.00 won't work.

b) make sure the computer on which you have the game installed has an active online connection to the internet

c) click "Enter Serial" in the product activation dialog window

d) enter your v3.0 license key into the correct field.

e) hit the "Activate" button and wait a few seconds while your license authorizes.

f) this activates your base game. If you launch the game now, it is going to show you the base v3.00 install without any modules and without the Vehicle Pack.

g) now you need to re-activate any other modules you may have. To do so, you need to use the "Activate Modules" shortcut link to bring up the activation interface again. If you opted to not have it created on your desktop or deleted it from there, then you can find the link in your Start menu under Start > Programs > Battlefront > Combat Mission Battle for Normandy.

h) repeat the above procedure for any module you may have. You will need the following license keys: - for the Commonwealth Forces and Market Garden Modules, you need a license key from when you purchased said module, including as part of a bundle (for example, the Big Bundle, CMBN + Commonwealth Bundle, Comonwealth + 3.0 + Market Garden Bundle, and so on.)

For more details about this new activation procedure, please see the Knowledgebase at http://battlefront.mojohelpdesk.com, or the Vehicle Pack Manual.

PREVIOUS SAVE GAME COMPATIBILITY NOTE: Save games from previous versions ARE COMPATIBLE with v3.11, provided that you save your turn-based games in the COMMAND phase (not the replay phase) before upgrading.

COMPATIBILITY WITH MODS: Due to the potential of conflicts with pre v3.11 game Mods, we advise uninstalling any mods prior to installing this Game patch.
