Re: content package is missing
Hi.
Have you bought Panzer Corps or Afrika Korps?
What scenario or campaign are you trying to play?

Re: content package is missing
Sorry you are having problems but all versions are compatible with the 110 patch so we need to dig a bit to find out why this is happening for you and not others. Does the game work ok before you patch it?

Re: content package is missing
Can you tell us which scenario you are trying to load. This error messages related to trying to load content you have not installed on the PC.
Re: content package is missing
I have a similar problem. I tried to update to the latest version through the "Updater" program, but that didn't work, so a friend pointed me to a website at slitherine where I updated the game with limited success (as it turns out). First, I can't offer a challenge for many scenarios. For example, when I clicked on Hylan Valley or Steamroller I got the error message "the required content package is missing." How do I fix that?
I am currently playing Steamroller, but only because someone else issued the challenge. After I make my move and click to update the game, I get a message that says something like connection to server lost, check your internet access. I click on something like "try again" and it comes back "wrong turn". Nevertheless, the game gets updated.
Any help would be appreciated.

Hylan Valley belongs to Afrika Korps expansion, so I think you need to have AK expansion to play it.

Re: content package is missing
You're thinking of Hylan Oasis - Hylan Valley is a vanilla scenario.

Re: content package is missing
I must admit I get that 'error' many times, too, and just follow the procedure you have described. It happens with maybe 50% of turns and I have gotten used to it, even if it's not exactly a feature!vonLuck wrote:After I make my move and click to update the game, I get a message that says something like connection to server lost, check your internet access.

Re: content package is missing
Every time you get an issue with a bad turn or side mix up please let us know so we can track down and investigate. It shouldn't happen ever so if it's happening regularly we need to dig in to why and fix it ASAP.
Re: content package is missing
I still have this problem and now my game are crashing whenever my units get ambushed. I'm holding off on playing the game until the ambush bug gets fixed.

Re: content package is missing
OK, what information would you like? I uploaded a turn of Hylan Oasis (me vs. dshaw) not two minutes ago with the usual issue (for me, anyway) of "Failed to connect to server" - Retry button - "Invalid turn" - Cancel. This process has always uploaded the turn and this was no exception. I get this probably 80%+ (perception, not empirical) of turns I play.IainMcNeil wrote:Every time you get an issue with a bad turn or side mix up please let us know so we can track down and investigate.
