Dont just copy paste this, but adjust to your install location. Make sure you dont omit quotation marks or it wont work.


If you start in windowed mode and it CTDs, a Message will pop up telling you the problem. Take a screenshot or write this down and post it to this thread.

You can then download the PR:Vietnam, PR:Normandy, PR:Falklands and Anders Soundmod at your discretion.
