Yes, as Zakblood says the issue is unlikely to be a Windows 10 issue. Usually internet security is the most common cause of issues with downloading the updates. Provided you've registered the game to your account you can also download the patch from the Member's Area. Alternatively if you email support[a]matrixgames.com then we can send you a manual link from another server.

If so would this be a better option than running games directly through Windows 10?

windows 10 in testing atm has a gaming mode, much more suitable for gaming in, more stable, less resources used, and a lot more options for every day use by none techy gamers

Status: offline 		Thanks for the advice zakblood.

I was considering either using Windows 8.1 with an internet connection or Windows 10 Pro without an internet connection owing to Microsoft being able to have access to data and information on my computer and have the ability to load unwanted programs to my computer without my approval.

If using Windows 10 I would use a MacBook Pro to access the internet to download game updates and then transfer them to my Windows computer.

I do not purchase steam games.

The only problem may be if I use Windows 10 without an internet connection I may have continuous Windows 10 messages requesting a connection to the internet for Windows 10 downloads when trying to play games.

Major Mess



Steel Panthers - best tactical wargame EVER! Been playing the various versions ever since it's first release.

But my PC died. My new one came with Win-10. I re-installed SPWW2 and MBT, but they won't work anymore.

I no longer have a copy of SP-WaW, but I'd re-purchase in a second, if I thought it would work.

Status: offline 		you need to install the pre requites that came with the game, so far very few games don't work with windows 10, i'd hazard a guess at less than 1%, so if it runs in windows 7 and 8, it will be fine in 10, if it's before that, then most of the time it still will in one mode or another, once all the pre requites and a odd tweak in settings are done

Status: offline 		then add the pre requite that either comes with the gamer in question,

Download DirectX 9.0c End-User Runtime etc, as windows 10 comes with version 12, not previous versions







update your video card drivers, your sound and anything else you have as windows may find it, but your motherboard maker will have the links to the latest for your make and model.

as you can see, my default load up, is quite large with backwards compatible files, i download the latest ISO from M/S and then slipstream what ever i need into the image, then do a clean install of windows, this way, all my test pc's and gaming rigs are up to date and clean, just add my data drive with steam and games installed, and i'm good to go.

a clean install is always better than an upgraded version, as your never sure if it has taken errors or problems across with the upgrade.

i have also some pre loaded tools included.

ccleaner and Malwarebytes etc plus a few select others...
