Combat Mission: Afrika Korps v1.01 Readme VERSION COMPATIBILITY NOTE: Games saved in v1.01 can't be loaded in by the older version. If you are playing others by email or TCP/IP, make sure you all upgrade to v1.01. If you have ongoing PBEM battles, you must do the following BEFORE you apply the v1.01 patch! Transferring PBEM files from v1.0 to v1.01: 1.) In CMAK version 1.0, load the PBEM file. In an orders phase, save the pbem file as a saved game by clicking on the little SAVE button on the command bar at the bottom of the screen. 2.) Repeat Step 1 for all PBEM files you wish to convert. 3.) Install the v1.01 patch. 4.) Open CMAK Version v1.01. 5.) Open the saved game file from step 1. 6.) Choose Email as the startup option for the saved game. 7.) Place your orders as you normally would in a PBEM, and press "GO". Congratulations! You have now converted your pbem file. Repeat as necessary for any other files you need to convert. Once the file has been converted to version 1.01, it cannot be reopened in version 1.0. INSTALLATION OF THE PATCH (for the Battlefront.com Version of CMAK): Once the file is downloaded to your computer, double click it to start the installation and follow the on screen directions. The patch should automatically detect the current location of CMAK. Confirm that the path as shown in the Select Destination Location screen is correct and then click the "Next" Button to begin the install. INSTALLATION OF THE PATCH (for the CDV/European Version of CMAK): The v1.01 CMAK Patch Installer cannot autodetect the directory that you have CMAK installed. When prompted to select the Destination Location for the Patch so you will need to manually browse to where the game is installed. When the installer asks you to select the Destination Location you will need to click the Browse button and locate where you have CMAK installed. By default CDV installed CMAK into this directory "C:Program FilesBattlefrontCombat Mission Afrika Korps" but if you manually chose a different directory when you installed CMAK you will need to browse to that location instead in order for the patch to properly install. Since CDV also uses a slightly different directory structure than the Battlefront version you also need to point the installer to the "Run" directory which you will see inside the game folder. For example, if you have the CDV version of CMAK installed at "D:GamesCombat Mission 3 Afrika Korps", you will need to browse to "D:GamesCombat Mission 3 Afrika KorpsRun" when asked to select the Destination Location then click "Next" and the patch should properly install.
