I had the 772 error on my 98SE machine and the tutorial error on my XP machine.

Thanks for the quick fix....been wargaming since I found East Front decades ago, this is the best ever, exactly what I have been waiting and wishing for.

PATCH PATCH PATCH!!!

These are not just for fixing people with problems. If you are not running the latest patch, please do not even post about problems as we'll end up chasing things that don't exist

I was only going to play game on laptop as it's more current software whereas my home pc is several years old & running Win98. I only put the game on my home pc just to be able to print manual. Thanks Matrix for doing such a good job as well as quickly getting it out to us.

Status: offline 		Gentlemen,

When we reach a final first patch version (rather than these rushed interim patches) then we will release it in patch form and also update the master downloaded version. Since this first version had some serious issues for a few hardware combinations, we do intend to update the master download in the future. For now, please just use the interim patches if you are experiencing a problem or if your PBEM opponent is using the patches.

Regards,

- Erik

Status: offline 		Has anyone else noticed that auto select ships for TF is broken after applying this patch? Mine always says "not enough ships of proper type" after this patch (and I get CTDs before the patch). I get this even on the first TF I try to make, and I can see more than enough of the required ships anchored, unassigned, in port. HELP!!!???!!!!!

Status: offline 		I just bought the download WitP yesterday (7-19-04) I downloaded it over night and installed it this morning before leaving for work. My excitment at finally having this game was immediately crushed by the 772 error. This evening I came home and went right on the forum and found this thread and thought my problems were over but this is not the case. I still get the 772 error when attempting to start WitP. I have reinstalled the game files and have downloaded the one attachment (1) file that is available in Erick Rutins first post, and installed it as well. However, I have been unable to locate any other patches for WitP, and as far as I can tell the version of the game that I downloaded from Matrix is 1.0. Any help I can get will be greatly appreciated. Thank you, Dave

Status: offline 		I downloaded the 1.10c patch and during installation got a message "A data compression error has occured (#7) File CRC mismatch - data integrity error." I figured the download must have gotten corrupted, so downloaded again, same result. reinstalled the game and tried to patch. Same error. The patch deletes the old WITP.exe but doesn't install the new one. Thus patching makes it unplayable.

Any guesses? I am running Win2K on the 1.8 gig P4. 32MB on-board video.

Status: offline 		Hi,

I'm replacing the two separate patches with an interim 1.10d update (which is just the two combined) in case the forum corrupted the original uploads.

For those with tutorial crashes, please note that you have to restart the tutorial _after_ patching. The error gets embedded in the saved game. Starting the tutorial again as a new game will fix the problem if you've patched up.

Regards,

- Erik

Yes it does. You need to apply the interim patch though.
