Installation Files

BattleGroup42 is now at version 0.98 Beta.
To play BattleGroup42 you need the main install file only. Each full release is stand-alone so to play 0.9 beta you DO NOT need 0.8 beta or any other previous versions. However the 0.95 Update, 0.96 Hotfix and 0.98 Update DO require 0.9 beta if you wish to play online.

To play 0.98 :

Version 0.9 contains all the maps you need. No additional download is required for off-line or LAN play.
Version 0.98 fully integrates the BattleField 1942 1.6 patch contents into BG42 and also contains all the updates from 0.95.

To play 0.96 :

Version 0.9 contains all the maps you need. No additional download is required for off-line or LAN play.
Version 0.95 adds new maps and equipment to the original 0.9.
Version 0.96 makes BG42 compatible with BattleField 1942 1.6.

For online play it is recommended you download 0.95 and 0.96 to upgrade your 0.9 install. Most online servers run the newset version of the mod and will require the files in these additional downloads.

 

Installing to a Non-Default Directory

We've added a new installer for 0.9 to ease past problems. In case you need to change from the default directory BattleGroup42 Beta 0.9 must be installed to the following directory:

**Your Battlefield Install**/mods/BattleGroup42

if it isn't then the mod would still appear in the mods list with the correct name but not activate properly when selected. This is not obvious until an attempt is made to load a map. When correctly installed there is a brief splash screen before each map load.

The 0.95 Update and 0.96 Hotfix also use an installer program. They should be installed to the same directory as your 0.9 installation.

 

Road To Rome Support

The BattleGroup42 Mod versions 0.9x, 0.8, 0.7 and 0.5 Beta DO NOT support RTR at present. In addition it's recommended all previous BattleGroup42 and Teamwork Mods are uninstalled before using the current BattleGroup42. This means you can have BattleGroup42 0.8 OR Teamwork 0.15 & TeamworkRTR 0.15, no other combination should be installed.
