Panzer Corps Gets a Hotfix
A quick but effective update to remedy a bug in the campaign

Slitherine, Matrix Games, and The Lordz Games Studio announce the release of the comprehensive 1.02 hotfix for Panzer Corps. The update fixes an issue where some users were unable to progress past a certain point in the campaign. Get the update from Gamer’s Hell, Atomic Gamer, or Patches Scrolls.

About Panzer Corps

Panzer Corps is a brand new turn-based strategy game that reinvents a classic genre. Produced and developed by a team of experts and brought to perfection by a community of hundreds of fans, the game has evolved over 2 years to become what can be defined as a modern classic!

Set in World War II, Panzer Corps puts the player in charge of Axis armies, taking their core force with them through the entire war. The use of combined-arms tactics requires each general to make use of the strengths and exploit the weaknesses of their opponents.

Its multiplayer mode, an improved version of Slitherine’s award winning PBEM++ system, allows players to easily find opponents anywhere in the world enjoy playing them with none of the hassle.

Panzer Corps is designed to replicate the feeling of a classic wargame, but brings it up to 21st century standards and to a whole new generation of gamers.

The update is comprehensive and will bring all previous version of Panzer Corps to 1.02. Get more information on Panzer Corps from its official on the Slitherine site or on the Matrix Games site.

I tried the update function but it said I already have the most recent version - 1.01.

Where can I get the latest update, will it be delivered by the update function or be available as download?

Do I need to diasble all mods (via JSGME) before running it?

HeinzG · Post by **HeinzG** » Thu Oct 06, 2011 5:50 pm

Well, dont care to use something like "Free Download Manager" or any other download manager you trust in.

It might speed up your downloads up to 600 KB/s or so like mine

Cheers =)

The in-game updater is beyond slow (averaging about 30kb/sec) and then gives an error message at the end of the attempted updating.

Blathergut · Post by **Blathergut** » Sat Oct 15, 2011 5:21 pm

"Get the update from Gamer’s Hell, Atomic Gamer, or Patches Scrolls. "

Is there a reason it is not available from Slitherine? Or is it and not mentioned in the above list?

When I go here:

http://slitherine.com/news/item401

and click on 'more info' I am taken to a Battle Academy screen.

Thats a new article about BA so I'm not sure what you mean?

Can you try the in game updater again - we've added an option to grab the file from a web page if you can't use the updater. See teh new "Webiste" button in the bottom left after you run the auto updater.

When I go to the 'latest news,' the second blurb down is "PanzerCorps gets hotfix 1.02." But when I click 'more info' the Battle Academy screen pops up.

I just went to website instead. But unlike FoG PC, the in-game updater is slow. Will try the website option next time around.

Bug Report

I have downloaded v 1.02 and installed it, I started from a fresh brand new standalone scenario (no use of any saved game).

Stalingrad scenario is still bugged, this problem is known for a long time now...

The game stops with a victory when you capture all VHs but those located in the Caucasus.
It is very sad to be forced to stop the game when I have all units and the remaining turns needed (9 remaining turns in my case) to capture the Caucasus VHs (I had already captured Maikop).

I think it is high time to correct the victory conditions of this standalone scenario (the best one of the game according to me BTW).

The way the scenario is designed now forces the player to capture the Caucasus VHs first and then Astrakkhan (the VH located well after Stalingrad in the East).

Second point: what is mentionned in Wikipedia is wrong and I have the confirmation from people of the Belgian, French and British army: the Do 335 Pfeil was NEVER used as fighter-bomber, is was used as fighter and more rarely as night fighter.
The e-file should be adapted accordingly (BTW the original PG and Allied General and PG2 and PGIII have never put the Do 335 in the same class as the Stuka!

After patching to 1.02 the KV2 tank no longer has any movement sound. I encountered this during a PBEM game.

I've just tested, and KV2 tank is playing the sound when moving. It could have been momentously override by other sound.
Maybe it's a sign that you should try and use Real Sound Mod...

Hi guys - can you post any bugs as new threads as its hard for the team to pick them up inside the 1.02 update thread.

RobertCL · Post by **RobertCL** » Mon Oct 24, 2011 4:51 pm

OK - done
