Please, describe what you see, what error messages appear, look to the installation folder: is there man2.exe, data and maps folders?

Me too. Patch is broken. Just crashes on trying to run.

man2.exe has encountered a problem and needs to close. We are sorry for the inconvenience.

What's the downgrade procedure?

I've reinstalled v2.0.233, restored my profile, reconfigured all my settings (again). I'm back in business now.

Just as a heads up, if you have security software running without prompts it might block the changed executable from running. One place to check anyway.

You can install the new version, 243 to a new folder, if installing it over 233 failed.

Tried that. It doesn't help. The new version just doesn't run.

you said:The patch for registered players is:
http://www.massiveassaultnetwork.com/do ... 43wn_r.exe
Note: Install it in the same directory you have the game installed in. You will need to restore profile upon the first launch.

What should I do?
a) install new patch in the same directory
b) install new patch in another folder
c) go to church to pray
d) other

Enter you MAN2 folder and generate its file list using command from command line:
dir/s >list.txt

After that, new file called list.txt will appear in MAN2 folder. Zip it and send to me at wargaming.net or to support with subject "For Arthur".

Two "data" folders, old and new one, probably, mixed their contents after installing.

You can try to fix the situation yourself.

Delete all files from data folder except the following:

antarcticus.dds
Anubis.dds

Beep.wav
beotorum.dat.mini_map_big.dds
beotorum.dat.mini_map_big_new.dds

Let me have your man2.log, please.

When man2.0.243 is executed first time, conversion of some OGG to WAV files begins, i.e. you must have enough space for this conversion, new WAV files appear in one of MAN2 folders (data\unit_sounds).

Make sure there are 124 ogg files and 124 wav ones. 28-29 MB of free space is needed for the conversion.
