How do I update? This depends of license you have: -If you have valid time-limited license, then you need to download full installer for the latest version of SB Pro PE, which is 4.161 at this moment. Then just uninstall version 4.023 and install newest version. -If you have "Steel Beasts Pro PE Classic Licens"', e.g. one which stored on USB dongle, then you need to proceed to eSim Games web shop and purchase "Upgrade License from version 4.0". After this you need to activate purchased upgrade license, download latest version of SB Pro PE, uninstall v.4.023 and install newest one. Speaking of installation of the new version, more detailed information can be found in release notes: http://dl.steelbeasts.com/SBProPE_4-161_RN.pdf 0 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Members Ssnake Posted September 27, 2019 Members Share Posted September 27, 2019 I can but recommend to run the Map Packages Installer first, and to install the map packages on the fastest drive that has more than 100 GBytes free space left. If you observe these simple criteria, it will most likely save you headaches later. 0 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Torrent maybe? 0 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Are you sure that you are running 4.1? There is a massive difference in just the terrain engine alone... 0 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Paladin1CD Posted October 6, 2019 Author Share Posted October 6, 2019 Oh wait... This is an upgrade I have to purchase? 0 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Mirzayev Posted October 6, 2019 Share Posted October 6, 2019 (edited) Maybe take another look at the download page? Go here: https://www.esimgames.com/?page_id=1607 Make sure that you download and install the map packages first, as previously suggested. Once that is done, do a search for "SB Pro PE 4.161 Installer." Once you find it, download all six parts into the same folder, and then run Part 1 once they are all downloaded. Don't rename any of the files. There is also no need to download and apply the 4.161 patch if you are downloading the full game itself. Edit: Also, yes, you do have to purchase the upgrade to 4.1.

Paladin1CD Posted October 6, 2019 Author Share Posted October 6, 2019 So is there an upgrade from 4.0? I'm not seeing it if there is... Not sure I can shell out 100+ dollars again. 0 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Paladin1CD Posted October 6, 2019 Author Share Posted October 6, 2019 How do I tell if I have an active license or not? Its been awhile since I bought everything and I'm unsure of what I need to purchase for an upgrade. 0 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Here is the page to order the upgrade: https://www.esimgames.com/?page_id=1530 It only costs $30 if you are upgrading from 4.0 to 4.1. Definitely worth it, in my opinion. 26 minutes ago, Paladin1CD said: How do I tell if I have an active license or not?

If you have a CodeMeter, just put it into your PC and try to run Steel Beasts 4.0. It should run without any error message about the license. If this happens, your license is good! 0 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Paladin1CD Posted October 6, 2019 Author Share Posted October 6, 2019 I've got a CodeMeter. So what I need to purchase is the Upgrade License from version 4.0 and I should be good to go? 0 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Mirzayev Posted October 6, 2019 Share Posted October 6, 2019 @Paladin1CD Yes. If you have a license for 4.0, then the upgrade will be exactly what you will need to play 4.1. Following that, download and install the map pack, and then Steel Beasts. If you want to add the Map Downloader (I would recommend it) make sure that you install Steel Beasts first before installing the downloader. 0 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Paladin1CD Posted October 6, 2019 Author Share Posted October 6, 2019 Not sure if I'm being dense or not but thank you very much for your help on this. I'll get started! Excited to see the new version and maybe get back into doing some online stuff with folks. 0 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
