How to access Apocalypse Weekend ?

[G66]

I just noticed this. There is no choice to play it ? I've been playing AWP and never thought about it before, but it's not there. Also I've noticed that AWP is version 1409 . I thought this was version 1413 ? What gives ? Is it just me making a mistake ?

The only thing I have when starting are the options to play Postal 2 and Postal 2 Share the Pain (Multiplayer). As well as both games Editors.

I don't even remember how I started AWP because it's not listed.

Any help would be appreciated.

You might have turned on the classic mode

OK I found it. I must start a NEW game, then AWP and Apocalypse weekend are there. Yet I still can't figure out why it is version 1409. If I did enable Classic Mode as Paragonsolstice mentions I have no idea how. I also have no idea how to play the 1413 version. Unless AWP only goes up to the 1409 version because basically it is just a mod. Am I correct on any of this ?

One more question... what is the difference between the 2 voice options ? Does one cuss more ? Different sayings, more Dude speach ?

Hmm, Classic is still on the Steam Beta update branch correct? Maybe you need to switch back to the Release branch and then you will be on the latest update. No idea if this is correct or not because I never use Beta updates.

As for your second question, it just makes dude speak more often so turn it up to 2.

what operating system are you running? I have found myself running 1409 on linux which saddens me so.

I'm using Vista to run this game since it is an older game. I keep most of the older games on this OS because it still runs them well and why throw something out if it still has use.

Well, i'm up to where AWP has segued into Apocalypse Weekend. After I beat this I'm going to start a new game of the regular Postal 2 and check to see if it is indeed 1413. Right now it remains at 1409 which as stated I believe it's because of the AWP mod.

Thanks for the info on the speach choices. I've run them both for a while and really didn't notice any difference, except that the characters other than the Dude are extremely faint and hard to hear.

As for the Beta, I have None. I opted out of the Beta. Is this wrong if I want the 1413 update ? Is that my problem ?

There is only 2 choices : None - Opt out of Beta and Classic 1409.

Like I said, I have no idea how beta updates work in Steam, but opting out should've gotten you the latest version. Maybe opt out of beta and then verify the game cache files to make sure it downloads the latest version. That could work.
