I happen to notice this while looking at the JTS site last night. I own Normandy 44 JTS 2.0 version. I downloaded the gold update and tried unzipping it in the Normandy 44 directory, and it starts and then pops an error and quits, doesn't finish. I thought it might be because of some mods i had installed so i did a fresh install and the error still happens and the update doesn't finish.

Here's the error text before it closes.
"Can't create output file: d:\ John Tiller Software\ Normandy '44\ Belgian\2DSymbolsLG.bmp "

Always quits at this point. I downloaded and tried it about 5 hours ago

Hi Budd,

That is troubling.

I just tested the file here (the one I uploaded to JTS) and it worked perfectly over a 2.0 Normandy Build.

Can you please try to download directly from here and let me know if you have the same issue?

what i found was there are 0kb country files in the main directory, Belgian, Commonwealth, Poland, Netherlands, which seem to get in the way of the update creating the needed folders. I unzipped the contents of the update and did the copy/paste routine. I renamed those country files in the main directory and the update went through just fine, i don't know if renaming those files will effect the game any but the update finishes and when i start the game and check the version its says the gold version. Haven't played yet.

I uninstalled and cleaned out the Normandy directory. Reinstalled 2.0 and then checked for those 0Kb country files, they weren't there. Downloaded from the link you provided and unzipped the update, everything went fine, no hitches. No idea where those 0Kb country files came from, maybe mod leftovers? as i didn't clean out the files left behind in the Normandy folder the last time i did a fresh install, i just used control panel uninstall. Seems to be good to go, thank for your response.

It is great that you are starting to upgrade the West Front games to Gold. I have all of the West Front games with HPS updates and not JTS updates and since the older JTS updates don't appear to be on the website the new Gold versions are useless. I do have serial numbers for all of the games.

Hi Bioman,

As mentioned in the Blog contact JTS support and they will provide full version download links after validation etc.

Thanks!
I also noticed that the attack values of the PzIVh are different in the ALT scenarios between Bulge and Normandy. They are 41 in Bulge and 31 in Normandy.

In the Smolensk '41 scenario 0708_01 The Drive on Smolensk ALT there is a VP hex in the middle of a lake at 371,199.

I appreciate all of the work put in to these scenarios but I wish that all of the Mod scenarios were added to these games.
