**General Patch Information**
**INSTALLATION LOCATION**
The v1.12 patch MUST be installed into the same directory where the full version of the game resides. The patch installer will attempt to select the correct default for you, and warn you if it thinks it's not where it should be, but if you moved the game files manually, or on certain systems, this automatic selection may not be 100% fail safe.
Please doublecheck the installation location BEFORE installing the patch and make sure that you are installing into the correct directory.
**LICENSE ACTIVATION**
After installing the patch correctly, you will NOT be required to activate the game. If you are being asked to activate your game after installing the patch, then the patch executed incorrectly.
**PREVIOUS SAVE GAME COMPATIBILITY NOTE:**
Save games from earlier versions ARE COMPATIBLE with v1.12, provided that you save your turn-based games in the COMMAND phase (not the replay phase) before updating.
**COMPATIBILITY WITH MODS:**
Due to the potential of conflicts with earlier game Mods, we strongly advise uninstalling any mods prior to installing this Game patch.

Various minor bug fixes
**New to CMFI:**
* All light antitank weapons (e.g. bazookas) may fire from buildings, but most types will cause suppression and occasional light wounds to their owners from backblast. PIATs do not cause this problem.
* Buttoned-up armored vehicles spot enemies to their flanks less effectively.
* Armored vehicles have dramatically increased aim times for weapons when fired at extremely close range, making it easier for infantry to close assault.
* Map editor elevation changes can be "sharp" by holding the control key when clicking tile elevations. This allows the creation of realistic ditch contours.
* SMGs are less eager to fire at long ranges.
* Foot path terrain type added.
* Ammo bearer teams generally use their weapons only at shorter ranges.
* Computer player may use "Ambush Armor" plans.
* Improved UI display for timing of preplanned artillery missions also indicates what delay would be after the battle begins.
* When a team needs ammo from nearby comrades, it always looks to ammo bearer teams first.
* Small ordnance is less effective at destroying bridges.
* Group commands at a final waypoint work correctly.
* Minefield types display correctly.
* Better vertical organization of floating icons when units are crowded together.
* Dragging a waypoint automatically cancels any attached targeting order (prevents a gamey problem).
* Fog looks better.
* On-map 88mm flak guns no longer allowed to fire indirectly (trajectory is too flat).
* Improved calculation of damage from anti-vehicle mines.
