RE: CMAK patch v1.03 Issue
IIRC you have to install all patches prior to that, but I am not sure as there were some issues with the 1.02 patch when it came out but see that you have installed all patches in numerical order. Atleast int the battlefrnot DL pages there are better installation instructions. I have downloaded all my CDV patches from there and no problems
Hope this helps
