It should be obvious by the new shell, but I don't think RD updated it yet. One way to tell; go into Singleplayer. The campaign missions should be different.

He's using BZ2 1.0

You should install this: http://matesfamily.org/bz2/BZ2_v1_3_6_2 ... nglish.zip


I miss that blue ball... *sniff*

Yes. As well as play online with everyone else.

Here's what I want you to do, Actually:

1: Go to your Battlezone II Folder. (C:\Program Files\Battlezone II)

2: Copy the Battlezone II Folder.

3: Paste it, and name it Battlezone II 1.3

4: Install the 1.3 patch I linked earlier onto THAT folder. (When it gives you the option to change the path, change it to that folder)

5: Get this patch, and install it into the original Battlezone II Folder: http://www.bzscrap.org/downloads/Patche ... update.zip

6: Install the original FE version into the original folder: http://www.bzscrap.org/downloads/Mods/BZ2CP/
- Install Part 1.
- Install Patch 1_01.
- Install Part 2.
- Install revC.

(Hope I remembered the old 1.2 FE install order properly, if not, then try the bz2cp_full.exe, but I haven't used that)

FE for 1.2 is more stable for Single Player Campaign.

Battlezone II 1.3 version is more updated, works better on new OS's, has most of the MP players and any new mods that come out will likely be for it.

The FE for 1.3, which is what everyone here has been talking about, has mostly MP Focus, so the Single Player Campaign in FE1.3 may not work as intended.

Yes. And I write nice step by step instructions, so If you get suck or confused at any step, stop and ask about it.

I used to play this 8 years ago with my friend, but he died........ I found it on amazon and discovered some difference (like the blue ball) his disk used to make the scion unit production look so cool

That's because you're using v1.01b (the unpatched, just-installed, straight-off-the-disk version, and your friend was likely using 1.2 or a 1.3 build.
