if it exploded the patch correctly into it's own folder you can check inside that folder to make sure that their is a new .exe icon...the move it into your regular matrixgames folder for SPWAW.

For a while there the patches weren't loading properly because there was a space between the word "matrix & games" during the upgrade process...so it created it's own folder rather than being placed in the folder that it was supposed to drop into.

Hope this helps

Good call Orzel, during the installation, remove the space between Matrix Games in the installation path and you will be good to go. After updating, the game menu will display 7.1 at the bottom when properly applied.

My version already show's 7.1 so is this patch an update for earlier version's?I guess what threw me was the date of the patch-mar.26 02,7.1 came out earlier than that so I assumed that it was a patch for V7.1.

Yes the one from the Matrix site now is the final 7.1 patch, the one from January was a beta. Open this folder MatrixGames\SPWAW and look for the file mech.exe it should be dated 03/24/2002 or later if you applied the final 7.1 patch properly. If it's any earlier then your still running the beta patch.

When applying the 7.1 patch make sure during the installation routine when it asks for correct installation path you remove the space between Matrix Games (MatrixGames) this is imperative or the patch will install to a sub directory and won't overwrite your older files and in turn won't update the game to 7.1 properly.

Thank's again guy's it went in perfectly when I eliminated the gap,one question though why has this problem been allowed to continue?It's no problem when it's explained but it is a hassle sort of like panzer elite SE one of their mod's has the same problem with a gap between Panzer and Elite and it continues to be a problem months after it's introduction

Because they use an old installer program, it's been causing havoc for us for quite some time.
