mine is i'm just not computer savvy. frustrating when I read about being able to patch in heroes etc. and not having a clue on how to do it. i've never liked the ZIP format. like when you download, its finishes, then gives you the RUN prompt, hit YES!. and we're off to the races. quick and idiot proof for us PC games for Dummies generation :D :shock: :x

I agree with scorehouse...Slitherine needs to make downloading and installing sequence a lot more user friendly...but I have said that many times before..

THANKS FOR THE INSTALL PROCEDURE.!!!...YOUR EFFORTS TO HELP ME ARE NOT IN VAIN...I am getting a weird reply when I try to download and update PC2, IT READS: ERROR unable to download file.
An error occurred while trying to open an FTP file.
this happens when I click on the self updater from within the game.

I have never gotten the 'self installer' for PzC2 to work.
I have always downloaded the Slitherline Installer/Updaters and run them standalone.

The procedure is extensive, and I'm repeating in some parts.
You can see another version here reduced, not for Panzer Corps 2 specifically, but for other games using a similar process:

Usually this issue is caused by the interference of a Internet security program (a firewall, an anti-virus, an anti-malware, etc.) with the game update feature. Please check if any of your Internet security programs is interfering with the download from our ftp servers.

In this case usually it's easier if you download and install the update manually then troubleshoot the issue with your Internet security programs.
