No, you don't have to.
The last patch always brings all the other.
So just install 1.04 and the game will be fully updated.

Version 1.05 - does not install

Post by ceandersen »

I have already downloaded version 1.04 from 3 different mirrors and 2 times the version 1.05;
But all my attempts to install the same problem occurs. For example:
Step 1) I downloaded the file PanzerCorpsWehrmacht-Update-v105.exe;
Step 2) Run file;
Step 3) Select the language.
At this point the program is aborted automatically!

If I try to rerun this file, or a new one mirror, the file simply does not open. It is as if the program was already running and control instances are ON.

Given these problems, how do I upgrade the Panzer Corps?

Try to start with Windows in Safe mode and update from there.
Something in your system is interfering with it. Maybe in Windows in Safe mode the culprit might not be running, thus increases the chances of getting the update correctly installed.
Do you know how to start Windows in Safe mode?

If it was keeping you from updating, it's never a basic issue.
Probably it's your Internet Security program which is causing this.
I'm glad it worked out. :)

Not sure what happened exactly, a screenshot of your PC with the game open would help.

In any case, if you are in trouble with window mode, you can reset the game to fullscreen again, to do this:
- Run regedit
- Go to HKEY_CURRENT_USER\Software\Slitherine\Panzer Corps
- Change WindowMode value from 1 to 0

Or if you don't feel comfortable in editing manually Windows registry, use this patch:
http://www.gamefront.com/files/21087899 ... Screen.reg
Double click on the file and answer yes to the question.
Remenber before changing anything in the registry, create a system restore point.
