Maybe the Guru Bru could clarify how they line up.
I am confused about 4.1.1, 4.1.7 and 5.2

I can't install Burma Road (I just bought it yesterday) cause it says I need 4.1.1 but tried the advice about main menu Shift C and then enter *patch patch4.1.7 and it says it installed that and my game version is now 4.1.7 but the installer still refuses to install Burma Road cause it says I still don't have 4.1.1 :cry:
I can't find 4.1.1 patch anywhere. :cry:

I tried the auto patch update in the game intro menu and it tried for a long time to download 5.2 but failed every time. :cry:

My questions:
1. How can I get that monster 5.2 patch?
2. How can get the elusive 4.1.1 patch? I have no clue where the download link is.
3. If I manage to get 5.2, will it allow me to install Burma Road?
4. If I manage to get 4.1.1, will I be okay not installing the 5.2 patch to avoid much agony? Will Panzerkrieg install & work with that 4.1.1 patch (if I can get it somehow)?

Note: I want to get Panzerkrieg campaign too but I'm terrified about reports it won't install either if you have 5.2 patch update. I know the technicians will see to that, but you can see the deep quagmire I am mired in.
Easy, there. One of the Producers from Slitherine will fix the whole thing today. Are you using the Steam version?

I wasn't using superlarge font, only large cause it is a lot easier for me to read. I wish all text on the forum was in large for easier reading. I don't understand why you hate it.
I talked to bru about this so don't need this thread.

No hate. If you have reading issues, use the large font. All good. :D

@GiveWar

I noticed that you are terribly nervous.
First you write something in anger and then you delete your posts.

It is best to count from 10 to 1 and calm down ... :wink:
Everyone here is friendly and want to help.

I don't understand why there is so much hate on this forum.
I actually paid money for the game DLCs and in response to a question about patches I get hate pooped on my from both of you trolls. Same pattern every time.
Can I get a refund?
I'm definitely not buying anything from from this aristocrats group cause all you got is hate to give customers.

What hate?
If you post in a civil manner you'll get a civil answer.

Also, someone here did take the time to explain the procedures, at least for the upgrade/patch that was working at the time:

GiveWar, I answered you in a couple of places where you also posted. Please read what I said there.

If anyone is offended by my comments very sorry these people.
It seems to me that the problem is:
1. English is not my mother tongue, so sometimes my statements may have a different meaning from what I intended
2. recipients of my statements may also have poor knowledge of English and misinterpret my intentions
3. We probably belong to different cultural circles, we are brought up in a different way, so what is the norm for me, may be unacceptable for someone else.

This is my point of view on the whole matter.

@Give War
I do not know why you think Andy is a troll ... I do not see his fault.
