6. Considerations

   • Unless your native language is English, you can download appropriate language and campaign dialog pak files from here.
   • Owners of Steam game version should use EXEs provided by the mod - MMH55_64.exe MMH55_Utility_64.exe instead of running the Steam launcher
   • ARMG editor requires administrator privileges to save map files on the Windows System Drive (C:). To go around the issue start the game as Administrator (Right click -> “Run As Administrator”) or just install the game on a non-system drive.

Upgrade instructions

1. Uninstall the current version of the mod by starting Unintal.exe in <game directory>
2. Do a fresh install by following the guide above.
3. Considerations:
   • After upgrade start a new game as saved games will not have new changes applied

If the mod does not run or game experience issues check the F.A.Q. 99% of existing problems are already solved.

Enjoy!
