scroll down until you find the link, use translator or seek link near text 2GB 4GB

to potentially get it to work properly. Make sure to get BOTH the main file and Large Address/4GB patch.

For updates read the latest posts, I'll try my best to keep the OP up to date

It's only 2.1GB extract and run, no installer. Click the GHPC.exe It's not intensive, i can assure you ;)

Edopardo , I agree man . RO 1 still has tank servers up but you need to find the clan's that still play RO1 . It's free . RO1 is dirt cheap . The polish also have clans . Theyplay 1 time or 2 a week . I have not seen a decent game since RO2 that thrills . RO 1 was really the best . They hold technology from us . WE WANT TANK SERVERS !

Awesome, but I doubt my potato pc could run it lol

You wont believe it, but in the settings for GHPC demo, there is a setting for 'potato' i kid you not!

anyone managed to download a newer version of the mod? The 3.4 version downloadable from the link is pretty old now, as it's from 2019. I've seen Smart Wargamers play it, and in a newer version from 2021 it has a whole lot more missions, campaigns, tanks, environments. It's probably doubled in size by now.
It's been a week now, and i still haven't got a response from the forum admin. Since the devs are Ukrainian i'm guessing they have other stuff going on right now

I tried following the instruction for the STA install but i keep getting "Error initialization program." so no clue what to do about it.

I will say this about these mods, they are temperamental. One day they work the next week they don’t. I went back to the (I think) 2.3#? Because you just need to run a 4gb limit pass on 2 .exe files and then just install the mod. Well here’s the totally crazy moment. I played it on Saturday and I had American voices “sabot on the way”. “Reload”. Then played it again on Sunday and it was back to Russian. Nothing had been done or changed in the 2 days.
As I say; very temperamental……

Go here, translate the pages, and follow the simple instructions provided to download & install the Japanese Community Mod: https://wikiwiki.jp/pzfr/Steel%20Tank%20Add-on.

An excellent freeware alternative to the STA (now ITM) mod. I have separate installs for both.

I’ve got that wishlisted. Gave up on GHPC. far,far too scripted and stupid at times, plus you can’t even knock over a sapling. Just concrete trees. So that’s binned. This I will keep an eye on

Yeah I was never really convinced with GHPC, it has a very cool After report system though, but the game looks very very bare bones, very scripted and not much replayablity. It's very limited so far in terms of content and gameplay there's just something about it that pushes me away.

I downloaded 3.4 and it looked like the full game, but it dn't work on itself (any folder), so I copied it over the orignal files, and it also did not work.

What do we have to do with the downloaded 3.4 (I don't understand russian)

What do we have to do with the downloaded 3.4 (I don't understand russian)

1.Unzip the mod folder,
2.run jsgme.exe into the mod folder (the one in russian) and disable all the mods in reverse odrer, from down to up.
3.Remove all the mods from the MODS folder inside the STA3.4 folder and paste them to the actual Steel Fury 1942 game MODS directory.
4.once moved all the mods, delete JSGME.exe and JSGME.ini files located in STA3.4 folder;
5.move the STA3.4 folder itself into the actual Steel Fury 1942 game MODS directory
6.run the actual JSGME.exe which is in english and not russian
7.disable compass mod and unofficial patch
7,5.delete data\sound\loc_rus\speech directory (or copy elsewhere safe)
8.enable in order polygons2.8, ssm2.7, STA 3.4 and you are done, now you can play.
9.to play you have expand the common section, select local server click run
10.enable other mods with JSGME if you wish to experiment what are they about (?)
