Download the zipped update program, unzip it, and run the updater. This patch should update both the initial v1.00 release and all previous updated versions of the game.
The patch/updater should automatically locate your RTW2 folder - if the path shown to your RTW2 folder is incorrect please use the 'browse' button to locate the correct folder. If you receive an error message such as 'RTW2.exe missing' then you most likely have selected the wrong folder for the game location, make sure you enter the correct path.
If you have modified certain of your RTW2 files then the updater may not be able to patch the game, so please restore any modified files before you attempt to update the game.
If you modify any file in any game/program it is always a good idea to first back it up in case it is needed.
Save games should, as far as we can determine, work fine with most updates, but it is possible that in some cases you may encounter issues.
THE FOLLOWING ARE THE CHANGES/FIXES FOR THE 1.15 UPDATE:
Small carriers that cannot operate fast aircraft effectively will not have such aircraft types assigned to them.
Limited the number of main guns on a ship to 20.
Limited the total number of secondary and tertiary guns on a ship to 32.
Allowed AMC with up to 25 knots speed after 1925. To simulate building a converted liner carrier like Hiyo or Junyo, build a 10000 ton 25 knot AMC, then convert to carrier.
Tweaked the weights of AMC hulls and engines to make CV conversions more reasonable.
Added air group summary to ship description.
The Navy will now be consulted before colonies are granted independence
Added option for unit machinery. Lowers the chance of engines disabled damage event.
Air units on carriers undergoing rebuild will not lose experience unless the refit is halted (this is to prevent misuse).
Added another air base for Russia/Soviet Union at Peterhof.
Increased maintenance costs from 1950 and onwards. This is to reflect that maintaining large fleets and air forces were increasingly unsustainable in the 50s and 60s.
Added a new battle type: Carrier Battle. Carrier battles can occur if both sides have carriers and there is enough sea room.
Added current flooding after reduces flooding message in ships log.
Added current fire level after fire limited message in ships log.
Slightly increased damage from multiple torpedo hits
Added Role to air attack messages
Having too many submarines under construction risks production delays.
Aircraft types under development are shown for comparison when a private venture is evaluated.
Cumulative air kills and bomb hits for air units are now tracked (reset after a war is over).
Air units can gain permanent elite status. These air units will remain better than other air units.
Added notice if friendly units think they are spotted by enemy aircraft.
Adjusted HAA factor calculations to limit very large numbers of heavy AA guns.
Added equipment flaws that can be discovered in wartime. For example faulty torpedoes or AP shells.
Reduced the chance of inventing Bombentorpedo to 10% (the Germans have it as bonus tech though, so will always have it).
Raised the cost of buying aircraft licenses and allowed poorer nations to buy when tension is lower than 4.
Search planes now do a dogleg at the end of their search vector.
Added a new key shortcut for moving ships easily. Pressing M in the main window ships in service screen will bring up a menu with all the map areas. Clicking an area in the list will set the destination of all selected ships to that area, regardless of current location.
Also added other key shortcuts for selected ships: C > cancel move, A > active, T > Trade protection, F > Foreign station.
When readied torpedo bombers stand down, the torpedoes will be returned and not lost.
Oil fired destroyers now have a smaller risk of missing a battle due to range to base.
Improved AI strategic movement.
Introduced Carrier trained property for air units:
* Only carrier capable air units can be based on carriers.
* Carrier trained air units cannot number more than 150% of the air capacity of existing carriers in wartime, 120% in peace or 110% if elite pilots.
* Carrier capable air units cost 150% of the maintenance of other air units.
* Carrier capable air units must be defined as such when they are created, they cannot be converted later.
* They can be created on bases, in the reserve or on carriers.
Fixed a bug where the wrong nation could be mentioned in the ship fate when sunk in a gunnery duel with a submarine.
Fixed a calculation bug that gave ships of exactly 5000 tons greater horsepower requirements than intended.
Fixed a bug with the fuel shortage notice remaining after a war.
Fixed a bug with bulging giving too good protection against torpedoes.
Fixed an error message that popped up when requesting CAP and no airbases exist.
Fixed a bug with invasion ranges sometimes being mis-calculated.
Fixed some problems with invasion battles status "sticking".
Fixed a bug with some very large battles generating an error on loading a saved game.
Fixed a counting error of submarines under construction.
Fixed a bug with enemy nations intercepting player raiders running the blockade.

Air units will try to fill up to authorized strength, but it may take some time before they are up to full strength.There is a simple production system with a number of aircraft produced of each type each turn. The produced number will rise if more aircraft of that type are requested. You can see the number of aircraft in stock for a specific type in the aircraft types screen. If you disband a squadron, their aircraft will go back to the pool. In the air groups screen, bases will show Actual aircraft number/Authorized aircraft number/Base capacity.

Fixed strange declarations of war after other nations blitzkrieg occupations.
Fixed a bug with research above level 20 sometimes being stopped.
Fixed some battle missions (bombardment targets, start positions etc).
Fixed a bug with starting gun calibres in 1920.
Spain is now included as a playable nation in 1900.
Raised the chance of an invasion occurring.
The following were the fixes/changes made for the 1.03 update:
Fixed a bug with small corvettes getting very small crews.
The AI nations will now build more battleships in the initial fleet on manual build and 1900 start.
If a squadron is selected for strike but has no medium bomb load, heavy bomb load will be set as default instead.
CL are allowed to be up to 12000 tons from 1940.
Escorts in non-coordinated strikes will now return to base on schedule.
Fixed a problem with research levels greater than 21.
Fixed an error in damage control research. (Improved watertight hatches)
If improved triple turrets are researched then triple turrets are unlocked.
Fixed a bug with home possession base values sometimes fluctuating.
Added option for range circles from airbases during battle. Friendly airbases will have dashed circles, enemy will have solid circles.
Range cicles for enemy bases are based on best intel on enemy aircraft types, or lacking intel on your own best aircraft type of that role.
A nation under peace treaty is not restricted by caliber limits of a general treaty. (Allows for example Germany to build Deutschland class ships (pocket battleships) in 1920 if the Washington treaty is in effect.).
Added column for airship bases in base overview tab.
Adjusted some battle missions (Sardinia, Sakhalin).
Added airbase info to map details screen.
Added tech for centerline torpedo tubes on ships up to 7000 tons.
Made armor slightly lighter on very large ships(> 45000 tons).
Prevented air units being set to more than 20 planes.
Tech category is now specified in messages about buying or selling technology.
Some changes in response to feedback on land air:
----Aircraft on a base within range of an enemy airbase will suffer pre-battle attrition resulting in the base starting with a number of damaged aircraft.
----Better possibilities to suppress messages about land air to land air in preferences screen.
----Setting for not pausing the game on air attacks on land bases.
----Air approach message will only be shown when enemy aircraft are approaching ships.
