More DLC for Graviteam Tactics...

[WallysWorld]

Downloaded the DLC and fired up the campaign. I'm getting the following error for every battle that I try to play for the campaign:

Critical error
011: Unable to find the unit description

[ i_techn:techn_0b002621 ]

I've posted this on the Graviteam forum.

That error was quickly solved when I moved the new DLC up in the list in the Game Updater. Just in case anyone else runs into this issue, here's my list:

I get a similar error whenever a Soviet unit fires a tripod mounted ATGM.  I'll try bumping up the list when I get home from work.

I keep getting this error message.

Critical error
001: An error has occurred while initializing the program

I've tried re-ordering the updates, but that doesn't seem to make a difference.

I notice that my DLC doesn't actually appear on my list.  It's just a blank entry.  I wonder if it's related to the G2extension file I downloaded from Gamersgate.  Mine's listed as pre-final.  Did I somehow get a beta version?

Mine had the same file name as you when I downloaded last night and I just checked it is still the same final today on Gamersgate.  I thought the name was odd at first as well.  When I bring up my updates, mine shows the DLC as blank as well but so far no errors for me, although I have not played a ton yet.

I posted the question about the missing DLC name over at the official forums and got a response.  It appears that Gamersgate does not currently have the latest patches available for download and they are currently only available at the game's web site.  Once I downloaded and installed these new versions, my dlc name showed up as it should.  Sounds like they will be updating the gamersgate download in the next few days.

*Note*  For some reason the patch file I downloaded did not have the correct file extension so I had to rename the file from gtos_patch_march13c1_eng to gtos_patch_march13c1_eng.gt2extension .  Once I did that I was able to install from the updater
 
It is unbelievable how the entire patching and communication process for this game series is so difficult, where they could have made it so much easier:(

Here is link to the latest patches both in torrent and normal download.

Sheesh. Looks like a nightmare getting this patched up. And to think Gamersgate is their official distributor.

It took me almost two days just to download the damn thing.

It's hard to know how much of these problems are GG's fault and how much are Graviteam's, but I strongly suspect it's the latter.  There's clearly a language barrier (the devs are Ukrainian) that makes communicating information about how to do things an uphill battle.  But beyond that is Graviteam's openly contemptuous attitude toward customer support.  Complaints about the difficulty of patching usually meet with an "It's not hard, why can't you just figure it out?" response.

I think it's not hard but it's not convenient either.  Definitely not at par with other games.

Once you learn their patching system, it's fairly straightforward.  A Graviteam guy PMed me and said that there was a delay getting the latest updates to GG but they'll have them on their site as of May 11th.

FYI that there are two new patches out: http://mods.tanksim.org.ru/tmp/gtos_patch_march13b4_eng/

After installing both patches, you should have version 2170 in the game's main menu screen and the Game Update version should be 4.04 in the Game Updater list.

Those aren't most current these are

Another one already, what size is this one? 485 again. Last time I had to rerun the core and the patch for the build number to change. Is this another one you should make a new profile for?
