Once you update the base game APOS it changes to GTOS-Graviteam Tactics Operation Star with the new orders system.
Gamersgate is the only place that sells all current versions of this game and all the latest updates should be there as well.

All the new games and DLCs will be self published by Graviteam and Gamersgate is their preferred seller.
Gamersgate runs specials for this series every couple months so most DLCs can be had dirt cheap considering this game is a bargain even at full retail.

After the base game is aquired, what order do I purchase the DLC's in (if it matters). Should I learn the game from the base system first, then get the GTOS with the new orders system?

The order of the dlcs only matter where you install them not when. Be ready to be confused as far as how to update.

Update the game now with the new order system. This is a must.

There is plenty of play in the base game if you want to become familiar with it first, but the dlc's are nice and varied adding new locals, battles, equipment etc. Plus like someone said above, they add more types of units in the QB's.You'll be amazed at how some of the longer campaigns play out.

You can learn the basics from APOS and familiarize yourself with the UI for starters the base is still pretty good but not from Matrix they still sell the old version which isn't very good and not very similar to GTOS.

If you do buy from Matrix then I suggest to update with the latest Dec.13 patch which will make the game GTOS with the new orders system.You can still turn the new orders system off in the options menu.

The Graviteam forum is a good place to go if you have problems with patching or updating.
If you buy the WW2 DLCs(except Shilovo) you need no particular order for DLCs but the modern stuff needs a little order to them and Shilovo42 should be the last DLC added to the updater list.

If and when you buy the DLCs post what you have on the Graviteam forum.I visit there regulary(not so much here). I will help or someone else will get you situated with the proper order for your update menu.

Hey Dane. Do you have links to the files that should be updated? I assume you need the latest patch from Reply #18 here http://graviteam.com/forum/index.php?topic=11428.15

Is there not a current Code one also?

Hmmm...a bit nervous about the updates? Not good at updates that don't install themselves (correctly). Still the game looks so good...checked out the you tube movie in this thread, and was very interested. I will consider it for a day before i spend.

Download the game to your regular C program files.Do not let it install in the x86 program files it won't run there. Next download the latest engine 5.81c I believe and open it and direct it to install in your game program folder.Open your game and look at the upper right hand corner of your start menu to make sure the engine installed(you may have to reboot till it installs.You cannot install the latest Dec13 patch till the 5.81 engine installs first.

Once you see that the 5.81 engine installed download the Dec13 patch(create a file in your game folder and name it Dec13 patch to avoid confusing it with other patches that will surely follow).
once you have the patch downloaded to the Dec13 file open your game and on the menu click update.This will open up your updater click install and direct the updater to your opened dec13 patch file-a clock timer will appear if it is updating once the clock runs down and the patch appears as update 4.09 on your updater click save and play.

Your game should be current as of this month now.I still use the Aug13 patch because I have a uniform mod that won't play with the Dec13 patch.
Being new to the series though it's best you get your game as current as possible for now.
If you want to add the uniform mod later I can show you how after you learn the game mechanics and become more comfortable with the workings of this system.

All these engine updates and patches will be in your Gamersgate library.
Please only buy from GG if you don't want some problems updating properly.

I have yet to find a recorder that will result in smooth playback. My system uses so many resources that it always records choppy.

Heres one made by somebody that shows some tanks on the move. I'm not sure what they're singing about in that song. The German language makes everything sound like a declaration of war. Heck, it could be a love song for all I know.

Achtung Panzer ALL

Not any fighting but I liked it.

Raubtier is a Swedish industrial metal band from Haparanda.
Graviteam jumped on that song when it was released to promote APOS.
It's a war song.

I use the free Bandicam.
It only allows 10 minute recording sessions but you can string them together on the Youtube editor if you have plenty of time on your hands.

Use your updater for this file first. http://www.graviteam.com/AP-STAR/gtos_cu_581c1_eng.exe see if that works

Core Update_GTOS_cu_v581c1_eng (May,20 2013)
http://www.graviteam.com/AP-STAR/gtos_cu_581c1_eng.exe
Download this first open it and direct it to your APOS game folder.
This is the engine it doesn't get installed by the updater.
You need the new engine to install the Dec13 patch.
http://www.graviteam.com/AP-STAR/gtos_patch_dec13_eng.gt2extension
You should be able to open your game from the updater in your game folder.

After you installed the engine open your game and look at the upper right hand corner of your start menu to see if it installed properly if you don't see 5.81 reboot till it does show on your start menu.

Once you have 5.81 showing you can install the Dec13 patch in your updater.
Open the ingame updater and direct it to the patch and select if the patch installs on the updater click save and play.

The update should read 4.09

Very important to install 5.81 engine first before patching with Dec13 patch.

If you could post a pic of your upper right hand corner start menu and your updater I can probably figure out what the problem is.

Download the 5.81 engine and open it.After it opens hit next and it will ask you where to install it.
Direct it to your game folder.

With the patch open the link and then click the down pointing arrow and select save as and then direct it to a folder that you make that says Dec13 patch.

I think this might be my doing. I advised him to update to aug 13 patch. I was unaware that he needed the other installed first.

Should he reinstall and then proceed with the instructions from post #47 above? Or will it maybe work if he just runs the 581c1 now?

Sorry bairdlander.

install engine first -After downloading open and direct to your game folder.
You do not install engine with the updater it's a program and installs in the program folder.

make sure start menu has accepted the engine then use the updater to install patch.
The game runs off the engine the patch runs off the game.

Another thing is you never need to delete updates in the updater the new patch will overwrite the old patch update.

Question for you Dane. Does the Polygons Update show in the update.cmd screen?
