Panzer Campaigns and Friends 4.05.3h2 Updates

Hi All,

We are releasing the second hotfix update for First World War Campaigns, Modern Campaigns and Panzer Campaigns.  This means forty-one patches and full version builds for all titles across these series. 

Firstly, here is the Changelog for the changes since version 4.05.3 was released:

Hotfix 4.05.3h2 Changelog

Bug Fixes

• Bug: Unit strength masking under FOW was not correct for units over 1,000 men.
• Bug: Prevent Air Mission Dialog being shown under FOW and AI Air Missions being called by the player.
• Bug: Prevent continual looping for AI units digging in.
• Bug: Fix for Next/Prev stack skipping valid counters in Assault Phase.

Enhancements

• New component name feature where values after a colon will differentiate between components, but only require artwork using the text before the colon. The full component name is truncated for game play but retained for the editor.

Hotfix 4.05.3h1 Changelog

Bug Fixes

• Bug: Programmed weather display in the status was being shown before the weather check was made.
• Bug: Programmed weather for PBEM was being reset by an incorrect check.
• Bug: Reverted the F1 General Help key to open the pzc/fwwc/mc manual, not the user manual.
• Bug: Prevent units with a Hold Order from being assigned to an assault triggered by a higher formation attack.
• Bug: A change in supply or rail capacity on Turn 1 was only being applied for the "first" side (as per the scenario).
• Bug: Right-click to add units to an assault was not working for the Assault Phase in Phased Play.
• Bug: Reverted shaded movement range when a unit is unselected to allow movement AI orders to still be set, easily.

Enhancements

• Location labels now cycle through three settings, all on, all off and size 3 & 4 names only. This should unclutter the map in some titles and accelerate map scrolling while maintaining significant labels.
• Next stack / Previous stack now works for the Assault Phase in Phased Play.

Both First World War Campaigns and Modern Campaigns had been updated to version 4.05.3h1, but most Panzer Campaigns titles were on the older 4.05.3 version. The programmed weather bug fix is very important to any PBEM players who are playing with the older version.

These latest changes are significant, and we suggest you either get the patch or download a fresh full build from your store account. There should not be any issues with ongoing games unless an OOB change is mentioned in the game specific changelog. If in doubt, please email the Helpdesk or ask on the WDS forums.

We are hopeful that this series of updates will be the last until the next title in the series is available. That should be released as version 4.05.4, if there are any significant changes beyond the current version.

You can get the patches from the various Update pages: First World War Campaigns, Modern Campaigns, Panzer Campaigns or download fresh copies from your store account.

All new purchases from today will include these fixes, and as mentioned above, the builds available in your store account will be the latest version if you need to download and reinstall the game again in the future. If you have the either the Panzer Campaigns: Mius ’43 or Modern Campaigns: Quang Tri ’72 demos, please apply either patch or download a new installer from your store account. We ask that you refrain from ‘buying’ the free demos again.

We hope you continue to get enjoyment out of these series, and our ongoing commitment is to provide timely bug fixes and enhancements. We appreciate all the support that we see from you all, whether that is on the WDS Forums or the various social media sites we frequent.
