RE: 2.02 UPDATE is released! - Crossroads - 08-25-2014

Well the official party line is to finish 2.00 PBEM games on that install, and to do a clean 2.02 install to its side and to start new games on that one.

A direct update from 2.00 to 2.02 will likely work as well, but to play it safe it is our recommendation to, well, play it safe and to do a clean install Helmet Smile

Probably not. Games started in 2.00 should be finished in 2.00.

Quote:Also, to confirm, there is a upgrade path from 2.0 to 2.02, without reinstall, correct?

You can do directly either of
  • 2.01 > 2.02
  • 1.00 > 2.02

but
  • 2.00 > 2.02

is not advisable.

Do the last at your own risk.

Okay, so I updated to 2.02. Now I have 2 file folders in my window tree under Matrix games. One says JTCS 2.1 the other says JTCS. One file folder has all the game files. The folder named JTCS has east front west front folders and a few others.

My question. Is this the way the update configures things on the Windows tree now?

That don't sound right :(

How did you do the download, from the link in the Matrix site, or from the game menu clicking Update? The latter should be the fool proof method to do it from 2.01 to 2.02 in case you want to try it again.

I will try the latter. Maybe I did not have a clean download from the matrix site.


RE: 2.02 UPDATE is released! - zap - 08-27-2014

I tried the game menu update. Could not download. went to matrix the download worked. But I still have two folders. one with EF/WF a few other files. and the other has the game files. In the folder that has the game files I see the 2.02 download. So it did work, I think? I just don't know what the other file folder is for. Its probably something I missed?


RE: 2.02 UPDATE is released! - Crossroads - 08-27-2014

I assume what happened is the 2.02 UPDATE installer asked which folder to install on, and it has "C:\Matrix Games\John Tiller's Campaign Series" on as a default.

Then, if your previous install was at "C:\Matrix Games\John Tiller's Campaign Series 2.01" the installer created a new folder under the default name.

You will in all likelyhood need to run the 2.02 UPDATE exe again, and manually change the folder to match the folder where the previous game files are. They all need to be under the same file folder structure.

That's it!! Thank you for taking the time to point out what the problem was.

Glad we managed to work it out! Helmet Smile

I am not sure if anyone has reported it already however, even after installing update v2.02, the PDF game manual still shows it to be version 2.01.

Thanks
