0_o, um, that beith the AIP attacker execution AV.... it is common knowlegde to most now.... jsut didnt know the SP AIPS were effected aswell....

[sombragris]

I also got my game crashed during "Payback" under PB4. In my case, my game crashed without any error message, no AV information, nothing.

I have no mods or additional files, just a vanilla BZ2 from an original game CD upgraded to PB3 first, and then to PB4.

The crash happend almost all the time when I was firing against the Archers that were pounding my base. I fired upon them, and when they exploded, the game was stuck. This is extremely frustrating.

Thankfully I was able to finish the mission, because I saved very frequently and in some opportuities the Archers exploded without freezing the program.

upgraded to PB3 first, and then to PB4.

Isnt that a very bad thing?

IIRC you should only install over a fresh 1.01 BZ2 install, but someone may know if the installer was created to install over pb3.

[tarquin1048]

Mine was a clean fresh install BZ2 then patched straight to Pb4.

I also found that the SP missions from 'On Thin Ice' onwards were somewhat more difficult than the original SP missions!! In fact 'Counter Attack' mission when you are parachuted into the base I had to use the cheat code cause I could not hold my pools & for the first time the Scion Titans come at your base when you are struggling to build up units??     

[Red Devil]

Those Titans are triggered to attack by something you do, so do something different.   

[Commando]

You can install pb4 over any earlier version of bz2.  It doesn't matter if it is 1.0, 1.1, 1.2, or an earlier version of 1.3.  Heck my install has been downgraded to earlier versions of 1.3 then reupgraded to test versions newer than public beta 4.

The only thing you can't do is install 1.2 over 1.3.
