Default questions about GWX

hi,

what is GWX and why should i have it? i found lots of links to download it, but there are so many files with similar names, what would be the most suitable one?
can i download it from my office connection and later upload it to the game computer, i have no internet connection on that one?
please don't go technical on me, i am not any good with computers beyond the most simple applications.....

cheers

Go here: http://www.thegreywolves.com/index.html to find info on GWX.

For me GWX is a must have. If I load up the original game, I have it backed up, it´s like... Nothing... Lifeless...


You can download the files and burn them to a DVD and bring them home
But you're office PC will be busy for some time:hmm:

Ok, You need GWX2-1.bin - GWX2-7.bin, 7 files, and GWX2.exe for the base install. Then you need GWX21.exe to update to GWX2.1.
And then AOTD-AA-Ship-Schleuse-Bugix.7z for some bug fixes.

That´s a total of 1.34Gb plus 33.5MB for the bug fix.
