Since I am not sure whats going on here and you are not willing to use steam try this:
1. Make sure you uninstall the game, manually go to where the game was installed, usually under C:\Program Files\1C Company\ and make sure the game folder is gone if not delete it.
2. Next go to My Documents\My games\ folder there you should find "men f war - assault squad" folder, delete it. If you cannot find it and you are on windows 7 try direct path on harddrive such as:
C:\Users\YOURUSERNAME\Documents\My Games\men of war - assault squad\
3. Install your game, after installing download 2.05.13 patch:
-
http://www.1cfiles.com/MoWAS_patch/m...05.13-full.zip *IF YOU HAVE NORMAL NON GAME OF THE YEAR EDITION*.
-
http://www.1cfiles.com/MoWAS_patch/m...en-2.05.13.zip *IF YOU HAVE GOTY EDITION*.
4. Install the proper patch.
5. Make sure your game runs, when you run the game it should say either upper left or lower left somwhere version of the game, make sure it says 2.05.13.
6. Go to your folder where game is installed (C:\Program Files\1C Company\men of war assault squad\ or something like that) look in the folder how many of the files ending with .pat do you see? They are like 1.pat, 2.pat etc... do you have 13 of them? If you do then download my temporary 2.05.14 patch for non steam
mowas-non-steam-2.5.13-to-2.5.14.7z.
7. Extract mowas-non-steam-2.5.13-to-2.5.14.7z file to the folder where men of war assault squad is installed, it should ask you whether you want to overwrite 1 file called gamelogic.pak if it does ask that means you are extracting to right place, click yes. Now try running the game and what version does it list in game? If it says 2.5.14 then you should be good.
(NOTE, if you have men of war installed make sure you dont make a mistake and somehow extract stuff there etc....)
Not sure when 1c/dms will get around to have official patch but if the above doesnt work for you then you are stuck with having to use steam or wait.
