I bought the '41 (finaly!), I installed it, I started the campaing (and imported my data from '40's campaign)... and when I pressed the button to deploy my units... the screen was BLACK and "freezed"!!!

Heeeeeeeeeeeelp!

When you start the game, what version number do you see on the main screen (at the bottom)?

Also, can you check the size of the equipment.pzeqp file in the game's Data subfolder?

(Do I need to re-istall the '41 AFTER I'll upgrade to v1.05?)

Status: offline 		Yeah, that's what I suspected. Obviously you still have version 1.04 of the game, while DLC '41 requires 1.05. Now, the DLC must have installed 1.05 patch automatically, so not sure why it did not. People responsible for the installers will have to check this out. In the mean time I suggest to download 1.05 patch and install it manually, this should help.

I had a HUGE smile on my face (and worn my... Luftwaffe's cap!)... and my smile wiped out! Hahaha...

(Personally, I HATE the Russian front/campaign, but what the hell! I'll play this and I'll wait the rest!)

Just a question:
Since we're talkin' about '41 and RUSSIA, that means you'll NOT create a Balkans' campaign (Operation "Merkur" is my favorite, damn it!) and it will be NO "Africa Corps" campaign too? (I mean, OFFICIAL campaigns for the above I mention).

Jesus!... 130 Kb/sec! TOO SLOW, damn it! I'm downloading the patch for 2 mins and STILL is in... 14%!

Status: offline 		Oups! Sorry, folks! Before starting the '41 campaign, I wrote above here "why not a Balkan campaign" - before I read in '41's info about "Barbarossa"...
...but NOW, I'm playing the GREECE's INVASION!!!!! YEA!... I suppose, there is ALSO the CRETAN campaign, with lots of PARAS, right?!
