Championship Manager 4 Enhancement Pack 5 (4.0.8)
This is planned to be the final enhancement pack for CM4. We will as usual however reserve the right to issue future updates if the need arises.
This Enhancement pack will contain all the fixes contained in Enhancement Packs 1, 2, 3 and 4 as well as the following. It retains save game compatibility in the majority of cases although we cannot guarentee this is the case for all save games.
If you have not installed any Enhancement Packs this is all you need (as each pack contains all the fixes of the previous versions)
