AFTER A VERY LONG HARD WEEK FOR THE DEVELOPMENT TEAM, WE NOW HAVE A FIX PATCH, FOR THE MAJOR CRASH BUG AND NEW SOUNDS THAT MANY HAVE ASKED FOR.

PLEASE BE AWARE DO NOT TRY AND GET THESE FILES FROM A SERVER DIRECT, AS IT CONTAINS FILES THAT DO NOT TRANSFER VIA A REDIRECT, DOING SO MAY CRASH
YOUR GAME OR COMPUTER.

I setup the installer wrong, First time I have used it.

remove the end part of the path to install it to if you use the exe file

should be this:

C:\Program Files\Steam\SteamApps\common\red orchestra\

CHANGELOG:

------------------------------------

After installing the new Darkesthour Patch, You will need to remove Old versions of these maps.

Cagny_fixed.

These maps will be obsolete once patch is installed.

Also can you please delete the Karma Data Folder and all it's contents from the Darkesthour Folder.

We have now fixed the karma and ragdolls to use the stock RO data, so the Darkesthour Karma Data folder and files are no longer required.

*M1903 Springfield Scoped

-Fixed scrambled texturing on US Combat Engineers
-Fixed occasional scrambled textures on German soldiers

-Complete overhaul of the map
-Improved fps and load times
-Added infantry support for both teams

So d/l the exe patch, install it the DH path, and then go back and delete the maps listed and karma folder?

Why is the exe patch smaller than the zip patch?

I installed the exe like the directions said and it is the same and I do not have the maps the directions said to delete. Going to try the zip file now.

Just looked at the new path, will try without the DH.

Great works gents.
Tho I would advise to make a new full installer.
These kind of directions tend to confuse players and will cost a lot of support time ;)

Thanks for your hard work, it's off to the servers now :D
