IL2 - Patch v4.01 Kills Maps?

[FatRakoon]

Got a small problem. Not sure why its doing it, but whenever I try to install the patch, it wrecks my installation!

It loses maps ( or fails to install them? ) and this trhen means that I have to reinstall the whole game?

Why thoughts?

Thanks in advance

Which IL2 'version' are you running currently? Have you got all the expansion packs? v4.01 is for Pacific Fighters only, and also requires some of the previous patches to be applied prior to installation.

Are you running IL2: Forgotten Battles with Ace Expansion Pack, merged with Pacific Fighters? If so, you need to follow the below routine (taken from my squadrons webby) to be upto date:

As of Date: 15 February 2006

Install FB
Install AEP
Install PF
Install patch pf_patch303m.exe (100MB) (not the upgrade)
Install patch pf_patch401m.exe (141MB)
Install patch pf_v402m.exe (31MB)
Install patch pf_v403m.exe (130MB)
Install patch pf_v404m.exe (22Mb)

Make sure you use the M (merged) patches.
