Well, not trying to be facetious, but after downloading it did you install it? If so, and it completed the install successfully, you should also be able to find it in the start menu (unless you're using Steam). Otherwise look again to make sure it was properly installed. Installing a shortcut is often an option, not automatically done when installing a game. If you don't find evidence of it being installed, find the download (probably in your browser or in Windows Explorer folder (or whatever it's called nowadays) under "downloads" and try again.

If you continue to have problems, post your issue again in the Tech Support thread at top of the main PC2 page

Hi,

Not quite sure what's happened in your case.

Can I suggest you drop an email to support@slitherine.co.uk, they should be able to figure out what's going on

Thanks

Hi,

Done some digging, it looks like you've installed the patch update, but not the base game!

To fix:
  • Uninstall what's currently installed.
  • Go to https://www.slitherine.com/member/mypage , login and find Panzer Corps 2
  • Click File Downloads on the Panzer Corps 2 entry
  • Download [PC] Installer v1.01.10
  • When downloaded, run this file to install the base game
  • When it is finished, you can then run the file you'd downloaded previously to patch up to the very latest version (v1.01.10.1)
Thanks

Just double clicking it will usually do the job.

OK...I ignored the window pop up that said the game was already installed...I knew it was not since SHARDS told me to delete all the previous Panzer Corps downloads I had tried....That seems to have done the trick...I see the PANZER CORPS 2 SETUP is finally downloading itself to my laptop!!!!....what do I need to do to update the game????

Hi,

Glad that it's installed and you're ready to go!

To update in the future, click the Check For Updates button on the launcher, it should be much more painless now that you've got the new remaster version installed.

Thanks
