I have finally reached the state where the Beta version of Ostpak Redux can finally be released. Download links & Instructions below: 1. Download the manual/readme first: http://brit44.com/ost_redux/Ostpak_Redux_manual.pdf2. Download the new Mod_enabler: (you wont be able to activate the mod without it) http://brit44.com/ost_redux/mod_enabler.zip3. Download the mod itself (2.2 GB) http://brit44.com/ost_redux/Ostpak_Redux.zipWhat is Ostpak Redux? This particular mod is bringing you the Ostpak Expansion along with the possibilities of the latest game engine in a single package. Main changes: - Contains the entire Ostpak Expansion - Contains the entire Blizpak Campaign - Latest game engine programmed by Aldo: - 3D tracks & wheels for German and Soviet vehicles (Panzer III-IV, Panther, Tiger, Tiger II, JagdTiger, JagdPanther, T-34, IS-2, ISU series, KV1, KV2 etc.) - Authentic & Individual vehicle & armament sounds - Updated particle effects - Updated lightning system - Increased view distance - Lots of bug fixes – but remember this is still Beta - The main face-lifting is on the Eastern front/Blitzkrieg missions, but the benefits of the new engine will be visible on Italy, Normandy and African theaters as well - US units have not been updated at this point – more to come later Installation steps: 1. Panzer Elite needs to be installed (suggest to use GoG SE version) 2. Download & replace the mod enabler with the one included here 3. Download Ostpak_Redux.zip - extract it's contents into the Mod folder 4. Run Mod_enabler - activate Ostpak Redux (will take a couple of minutes to finish) 5. Run 3D_Control_Center & configure your graphichs 6. Launch the game and enjoy! Remember this is still beta - more updates/additions will be coming in the future. Any questions - issues post them here. Happy Hunting!

Gentlemen, such a problem when installing the mod: an unnamed files contains an invalid path That usually indicates that you are using an older version of the mod enabler. The file version shown in the mod enabler is of not help as it uses language.dat to show the version. Check the file properties with Windows. [i]you list the mod as 2.2 GB my download is 2.0 GB with 2,151,187,385 bytes[/i
] The file size on the server is 2,151,187,385 bytes Daskal, is this the same size as your master copy?

[quote][u][b]The file size on the server is 2,151,187,385 bytes Daskal, is this the same size as your master copy? Correct. And 2.151 is 2.2 gb if rounded to one decimal So is there anyone who managed to get it to work?

I'm afraid I enter the Instant Action 3D, get a tantalising glimpse of a lovely tank, and the following message: "PeX 1.05 Release has stopped working"; followed by an immediate ejection to the page that gives the mission summary.
I can get it to work in windowed mode, but window is only a small area of my monitor.
Update: I can get it working at lesser resolutions. For example, 1920 x 1080 x 16, but not 1920 x 1080 x 32. 1360 x 768 x 32 does work.

Correct. And 2.151 is 2.2 gb if rounded to one decimal Just to be a rivet counter, there are 1024 bytes in one meg. So your down load is not 2.2 gigs. The only thing that counts is that the file size matches your master. Update: I can get it working at lesser resolutions. For example, 1920 x 1080 x 16, but not 1920 x 1080 x 32. 1360 x 768 x 32 does work. That sux. My flat screen monitor crapped out this winter, so I had to revert to my old CRT. The game engine had no problem with my old flat screen, but hardware and drivers change. And, I still use a 7600 GS video card. The game engine uses DX9c. I am able to play the game engine at 1600 x 1200 x 32. I know the game crashes at extremely hi resolution, as reported by Murkz years ago. I am unsure if it works on the new ultra wide screens. Does the 3D config program show the screen resolutions that crash? I assume by the post that they do. LOL, your playing too much EAW I'm going to try the game disk version and set compatibility to Win XP. Most reports are that the PEx game engine requires compatibility turned off since I added large memory aware to the compiler some years ago. Murkz reports able to play with different issues, even after the latest Win10 patch required some attention to making Win10 use DirectPlay. A few have reported that they must use compatibility mode. If you set the desktop icon to use a compatibility, then my understanding is that all of the game engine will use that compatibility. PE is not one exe. Panzer_Elite.exe is a wrapper that links the rest of the game engine. Gameproject.exe is the glue for the 3D side of things. Mymenu.exe is the C++ GUI

Unfortunately did not have enough time to test it more, just one quick mission Thank you very much, Daskal for your great job.
