Custom Club Upgrade Patches

We have accepted Graeme Carter's G-patch (also called "007" patch) as our official club upgrade patch for competition.
It eliminates several bugs which the 1.02 SSI patch did not correct.

You can upgrade your game by downloading it here: G-patch download.
Simply unzip it into your game folder and you are ready to play.

At the Raiders site you can download a patch that includes RSF equipment with the G-patch.

Note:
This will NOT replace your original Panzer2 file!
You can switch back and forth between the two versions by selecting the game icon you want.
If you would like to hear the tunes while playing with the custom club patch you need to do the following:
Put your standard Panzer2 file into a separate folder, and rename the PG2UK102G to
 "Panzer2".  This is because the directorypatch looks for Panzer2 (see Play without the CD).

Note for French and German versions:
This patch has been built for the English language versions (UK and US), but will also work on the French or the German versions with this converter tool:

Additionally, I have made a special start screen for members of  The Battle Group.
This is a big file at 10.3 MB, and may take a while to download on slow connections.

Installation:
Unzip the file into your main Panzer2 folder, and click "YES" when you are asked whether if you want to overwrite old files.

Unofficial Patch for Panzer General 2 by Graeme Carter

This patch fixes 10 bugs and makes several improvements in the game.

Bug Corrections:

  • Air Defense units can no longer fire at naval targets.
  • Aircraft units can no longer fire at naval targets from adjacent hexes.
  • Right-click while Recon (or recon leader unit) unit is moving does no longer get unlimited movement. 
    This was fixed by disabling the mouse button during any unit's move.
  • The air transport counter is now working properly.  You cannot gain more transporters by the undo bug.
  • The sea transporter counter is now working properly. You cannot gain more transporters by the undo bug.
  • The flag for the first scenario in the scenario select list display properly now.
  • The 4th transporter field in "Requisition Unit" is now working correctly.
    It will display both, name and icon.
  • Ground conditions should be working correctly.
  • Tank attacks after overruns do not regain the total movement points.
    (do not confuse this with the "beach-overrun-bug", which is still there!)
  • Recon unit moves and attacks without spotting hidden units cannot be undone any longer.

    Game improvements
     
  • Map numbers up to 32767 are now fully workable.
    The cause of crashes by some user maps should also be fixed.
    The reason has to do with the internal bridge table, and is also why bridges cannot be blown up on user maps.
  • The equipment file limitation of 1000 units and 400 Icons has been raised to 2000/2000.
  • The expiration date is now working.
  • An expiration month has been added to the game, by the use of an unused byte in the equipment specs.
    That is the offset 19th byte, right before the "Month Available".
  • Aircraft cannot be boxed in anymore - you cannot trap enemy aircraft with your own.
    Aircraft are no longer effected by "zone of control".
  • Aircraft leaders have been altered so they cannot get 'Superior Maneuver' leader.
  • The game now recognizes all the campaigns you install.
    The scroll bar still does NOT work, however the [up] and [down] arrows do.
  • The flag before a campaign should display properly now. 
    It is selected by the bit next to last in the *.cam file.
