Started again

My MTW2 is crashing more and more often so I have uninstalled it and Iam about to re-install it because I haven't updated the patch so I take it I was working on 1.0 and needed to be on 1.2? Also Iam I right in saying that patch update won't work if you have put cheats/mods on like I had only all the nations enabled. Also when I tried to put the update patch on not a lot happend. What Iam trying to say is what patches mods ect have you guys got and what order and where do I find them.

Thanks in advance Buckers:help:

Also I have read the sticky's at the top of the page but they are slightly confusing

Well, start off with a clean install (Uninstall M2 first)
Then simply apply 1.02. If you are then still experiencing problems, look elsewhere.
Personally I use Carl's Problemfixer Pure, A super little mod that fixes problems, but leaves the game vanilla-flavoured.

Edit: By looking elsewhere, I don't mean to shoo you off, But to look in the hardware thread, after having updated your drivers and so on.

How long does this patch take to do!! 1.02's been going now for an hour! and thats not including the download!:wall:
