What order do you have to go in to get it up to 1.61B. I was hoping there was a patch that got it up to 1.61B if you had any versions. Like BF2 for instance, anyways if someone would be kind enough to tell me what order it goes in I would greatly appreciate it. I know I need DC Final and regular DC, just need to get there.

You need the 1.6 patch, then the 1.6 to 1.61b incremental.

Both of these patches will be available at the lan on patches.fites.lan
Please just walk away. I don't want to have to stand here and say something so awesome that I'll have to remember it the rest of the day. Thank you!

I used GameShadow to patch mine. No need to worry about order!

With DC you need to patch in a specific sequence.  it is as follows:

1.6 patch
DC 0.7
1.6 to 1.61B patch
DC Final (0.8)

That will get DC working correctly.  or if you want you can simply install BF42 and then copy my game directory over which has DC installed correctly.  I also have Battlefield Pirates 1642.  That is a fun mod.  I also have the install for this that I am going to submit to the Patch server when I get there on Friday so maybe we can do some Buccaneering over the weekend.  ARRRRRRRR!!!!

Hmm, the way i've always patched it w/ DC was 1.6, 1.61b incr., DC .7, DC Final. It's always worked that way with no need to intertwine the patches.

I know at past FithLan Lans we have had numerous issues with getting bf42 and DC to work correctly.  When going like you suggest agent a lot of time the client will get the "Data Differs from Server" error.  After much testing, we found the sequence of the patches usually fixes the problem.
