Western Front - 1944 Panzer Campaigns 4.05.3 Updates Hi All, The rollout for the next tranche of Panzer Campaigns version 4.05.3 continues! This week we move our focus to 1944 Western Front. Following on from the recent Panzer Campaigns upgrades we are releasing the next four Panzer Campaigns titles with the new 4.05.3 version. The four titles updated today are Panzer Campaigns: Normandy ‘44, Panzer Campaigns: Market-Garden ’44, Panzer Campaigns: Scheldt ’44, and Panzer Campaigns: Bulge ’44. Version 4.05.3 supplants the version 4.05.2 that was released with Panzer Campaigns: Poland '39. A range of fixes and additional enhancements are included in the latest version. Please note that we are providing a patch to upgrade from version 4.04 or later to version 4.05.3; however, full 4.05.3 installation builds are available in case you prefer to do a full install. You may remember that version 4.04 was a full-installation-only build. The 4.05.3 patch will only work with a version 4.04, or later installations. If you already own a copy of any of these titles, the latest full 4.05.3 game build should be available now in your Store Account on the WDS website. If you choose to not patch and use the full installer, you will have to uninstall any existing versions and then install the latest to be up to date. One other consideration, we have changed or removed many sound files under the Media directory, and a full installation will ensure you are not left with any superfluous files. Version 4.05.3 introduces the following changes beyond the previously released version 4.05.1: Panzer Campaigns Patch 4.05.3 Changelog Bug Fixes Bug: Fixed an issue where scenario files were being overwritten when creating a PBEM game with the second player selected.
