nice but Ctrl Tab does not seem to work (left or right control) neither does the button above tab (grave i assume?)

Thank you SteveHart.

Now we can play NoCross Power-10.
Thank you from the clan SovS.

P.S. You can add a sniper rifle ammo

After the update the game crashed.It happens in all missions and when the enemy shoots me. The game freezes. Before updating, the game worked perfectly. Is that the idea of ​​an upgrade?

Well Ive completed the game a few times played 120 hours or so and its been faultless, but since the patch I havent been able to play, I get into a mission and seem to get random freezes the only way to escape is ctrl alt delete and shut down in task manager. is there anyway to unpatch ?

Patch 2 causes crashes for majority of people now when playing single player at the very least, something in the patch causes the hangs... if you dont believe me head to sniper elite steam forums.... http://forums.steampower...forumdisplay.php?f=1382

I expect a hotfix possibly before the weekend or at least roll back the patch because currently one cannot play the game without crashing shotly few minutes into the game.

Hi Guys,

It seems the CEG checks we use through Steam are causing a number of hangs. We're looking into this problem and will aim to get a fix up asap.

Thanks,
Steve

Is that the issue effect the Single Player freezes or is this unrelated problem? We're getting some good turn around in the Patches and I'm glad to see that yourself and Rebellion have not disappeared post launch. this is why I loved self-publishers. :)

so far so good for what i have played.

I found the console patch
