First Update for the Third Expansion
Release: February, 2010
Press Release: Update released for Argos Naval Yard
Contents |
Note
The initial release of this update was missing several installers, specifically the vcredist_x86.exe package of the Microsoft Visual C++ 2005 Service Pack 1 with ATL Security Update (see this post for more info) and the February 2010 directx 9.0c. Both are needed for the 1.7.2 update to work properly.
A second installer with version number 1.7.2b was quickly released and includes the above directx and Visual C++ 2005 installers. There are no other differences between 1.7.2 and 1.7.2b.
