The Order of Battle 2.6.8 patch is out!

[AlbertoC]

Order of Battle fans, good news for you. If you liked how artillery used to work more, then you’ll be glad of hearing that you now have the option to go back to the previous artillery system. That is the highlight of this patch: the developers have listened to the feedback from the community and we hope that this solution will satisfy everyone.

You can download it from the members area.

In the meanwhile, the developers are busy working hard on a big, big, big update. Stay tuned for further news.

Changelog:
- Added option to revert to previous Artillery damage model
- US Artillery range fixed
- AI bug causing very long turns on Treasury Islands map fixed

Ongoing multiplayer games; are they stuck with the previous artillery option (I don't mind)?

New mp-games; will the player issuing a challenge determine the artillery option for all participating players (I guess so)?

[adherbal]

The artillery revert option is for singleplayer only.

Also note that you need to activate the option before starting a scenario or loading a savegame. Changing the option in the middle of a scenario will have no effect.

This is a temporary thing for players who feel artillery is not powerful enough at the moment. We'll do further balance testing for the next major update and make a final decision on artillery damage potential and mechanics then.

Warning to potential downloaders: that link isn't very good.

I found it easier just to click on Check for Update on the game menu.

Thanks for this!

Just an observation -- I was in the 2nd Philippines battle in the Rising Sun campaign when I downloaded this new patch. I chose the "revert" option for artillery and my artillery seems to have more effect, even though I was in the middle of the campaign. Not complaining; I liked that!

Yes, thanks for this. It's still a bit clunky downloading a patch, though. It seems one must follow the link to the members area, log in, go back to the link and click it again. The first click took me to a generic list of games, the vast majority of which I do not own. The second click showed me the current OOB patches for downloading.

Or just click on Check for Update button in the game launcher splash screen.

That's great about the patch.

Does it have the NATO counters option that many of us have been awaiting for?

Skin Camouflage STILL doesn't work!!!

AlbertoC, It sounds great that mega upgrade DLC, we hope to find several issues raised in the Post, for it to become one of the best PC strategy games:
What would you like next DLC campaign you'd find coming?
