Company of Heroes : Patches Of Valor

Après le récent patch 2.4, Relic en remet une couche avec deux nouveaux patchs pour préparer la sortie de Company of Heroes : Tales of Valor qui sort dans deux jours.

Le 2.5 (1.48 Go !) met tout le monde à niveau (il faut quand même avoir installé le patch 2.4) et permet d'assurer la compatibilité multi et le 2.501 (107 Mo) corrige quelques bugs. Si vous achetez Company of Heroes : Tales of Valor, il vous suffira de prendre le 2.501. Les deux patchs apportent un paquet de nouvelles cartes qui sont détaillées ici. Les deux patchs se téléchargent ici.
