silly question, do you have DS and IT

cheers......

If you only have GR, then there are additional patches that need to be d/l in order.

See here for links.

Hope this helps.

Welcome to GR.net!

And if you are running any mods, you need to make sure that they dont require DS and IT.

Apply the 1.3 patch first, then the 1.4 patch.

Disable any mods that require more than Ghost Recon ONLY (If any).

thanks, i wasnt aware that i needed all the patches as the only exclaimer i saw was the 1.4 saying it needed 1.3 to run, i'll get the other ones in time... cheers
