well, did you just recently purchase the game?

most of the time when you buy the game off the shelf it already comes patched to the latest 1.4b patch.

run the game, and on the initual loading screen, after the intro movie look in one of the lower corners of the loading screen and it should say which version you have. 1.1 or 1.3 or 1.4 etc

if it is already the latest version... your good to go.

edit: the game in it's stock configuration is not that hard, if you know anything at all about submarines (ie have watched and easily followed or understood a lot of sub movies) you should be good to go. If you plan to use GWX the game is more historically difficult.

other Kaleuns her will help you in your quest to sink them all.

Are you sure youre using the right patch? There are 4 different one I think. All of them patch to the same version but are for different distributions of the game. One is for US DVD copies, one for the downloaded game, one for the european DVD etc. Make sure you have the correct one. Maybe try the other 3?

P.S. Game only feels complete with the GWX mod. IMHO of course.

TransAm · 08-31-07, 05:27 PM

For an enhanced experience, add on a supermod. Check out the supermod thread to find out about GWX, NYGM, WAC etc...
