Status: offline 		When version 215e became available I downloaded and installed it so I could use Lancer's great
officer mod. When 215i became available I downloaded and installed it, so I could use the
NATO counters. When I opened the game, it said v215i on the top left of the page, but I wasn't
given the option to use 215i, and so can't use the NATO counter option. On the page where you
choose your options, I opened "choose your masterfile," and 215i was not among them. The
game says I'm running 215i, but I'm really not. How do I fix this?
Second, I have downloaded and installed version 220b properly. It's fun, but I can't use it
with Lancer's mod. Is there a fix for this?
Third, I downloaded version 220c, but can't install it. I open it, and the computer shows me
the files inside it, but I can't install it, and it doesn't come up once I open the game.
Is there a fix for this?
Any help is appreciated.
Thanks,
Pat

Probably you tried installing the private beta (which is not an easy install).
Try the official public beta: http://www.matrixgames.com/forums/tm.asp?m=3641160

Furthermore as for mods. I dont give official support for those, but the patches might have overwriten the modfiles. Or you might have done a fresh install by accident?
Did you try re-installing the mod after the patch?

Best wishes,
Vic

Status: offline 		If you saw 2.15i in the upper left corner then you were using it. It is not an at2 file to be selected from the random game creation screen. The 2.15i is the version number of the AdvancedTacticsGold EXE file. The version number is, however, also stored in the at2 files provided by the patch.

Re NATO counters: When you install a new patch it will overwrite part of the NATO mod. I highly recommend you use this one and keep it around for reinstalling purposes:

I'd also recommend one of these replacement main screens:

Re: "I have downloaded and installed version 220b properly. It's fun, but I can't use it
