HI guys,

I need to reinstall the game due to my hard drive fried. So I installed the 5.2 full install, everthing seemed ok, But when I installed the map packs starting with #1 then on ward to #5 when I started naw up Most of the servers are still red. SOOOOOO I uninstalled all the map packs and tried again same problem. I really dont what to do at this point. I read your forums over and over and still need some help as IM a noob when it comes to computers, Any help would be greatly appreciated. Thanks Eric

Most of the servers are still red? ...then that means there are some that are not? ...which would mean the ones in red are still NAW 5.1.

Yes you are correct some are not red, But Before my hard drive crashed I was able to play on all the maps. My buddy plays on the servers and has 5.2 so I assume it has to be something im doing wrong, which is a good assumption. Now for the nooob question of the day. If I downloaded 5.2 do I still need to download a patch and if so do you download the patch before the maps packs or after? It seems I can get packs 1 and 2 but then 3-5 dont show up on my desktop but show under add and remove files. I guess I will try to uninstall 3-5 and try again.

If you downloaded the full install of NAW 5.2 you do not need the 5.2 patch (that's only for people that have the old 5.0-5.1 installation). The map pack installations should appear in your start menu>programs>Nations at War folder ...and..add/remove programs. Map Pack 5 patches all previous map packs, so every time you install a new map pack you need to install map pack 5 again....or install map pack 1-4 then install map pack 5 to patch them all at once.
