Pacific Storm: Allies - 1.4 Patch Changelog

Warning! In order to launch the patched game, you might need to update your
DirectX first.

Warning! We discovered that certain versions of K-Lite Codec Pack make the game
unstable, causing crashes during video playback, errors in post-render
processing effects, object texture disappearance, along with spontaneous
terminations during the game, leading to CTDs. To avoid the problem, try
switching off video playback and post-render effects in game settings, or launch
the K-Lite Codec Pack uninstall procedure.
