Trouble loading the new, new patch
 

When I try loading this new patch fix...being the same Version I updated with earlier...1.27, I get a message saying I can't update the game. Any suggestions other than having to re-load the entire game again and adding the new patch??

I just had to reload the entire game. I have fun. http://www.shrapnelgames.com/ubb/images/icons/icon7.gif

Oh Man, Bad, Bad this is Bad. I've lost my Cd. Havn't been able to find it in a long time. Oh this is Bad. Very Very Bad.

Wait got a plan..........

Ah, lucky for me I keep my CDs in a nice safe place on my desk.

(Of course, knowing my luck I'll find the thing is broken in half or something. http://www.shrapnelgames.com/ubb/images/icons/shock.gif )

Darwin,
Try installing the 1.19 patch again. Maybe that will work.

I knew one of these days my procrastinating ways would pay off. http://www.shrapnelgames.com/ubb/ima...ons/icon10.gif

Re: Trouble loading the new, new patch
 

Did you keep a copy of your v1.19 files. I created a second SE4 directory before I downloaded v1.27a and simply copied all of the files in the v1.19 SE4 root directory and replaced all of the 1.27a files. Then I executed v1.27b with no problems....

Re: Trouble loading the new, new patch
 

I remember that I backed up my hard drive a while back ago So I'm good to go now, works great. And then I found my CD (irony) So I did a clean reinstall anyway.

Nope not a pirate (err um at least not from MM) still have my SE2 floppy in my desk drawer. And I can quote my SE3 registration code (photographic memory helps for that)

Re: Trouble loading the new, new patch
 

Wait a minute. You mean I can't just load the NEW 1.27 patch over the old 1.27 patch?

How the HELL did they manage to do that to us?????

All you have to do is re-install the cd game over the files and then install the patch. You do not have to un-install the game.

What Dracus said Possum...worked for this ol' fart.

Re: Trouble loading the new, new patch
 

OK, thanks, Pathy http://www.shrapnelgames.com/ubb/images/icons/icon7.gif

(speaking of old farts, I'm not ever going to see 40 again myself)

I still think it was a bit clueless of the guys to make it the same number.

I notice the d/l link hasn't changed since I d/l'ed 127a, how do I know I'm getting 127b?

Did Aaron say that there would be six changes listed on changes.txt, instead of the two listed on the readme at the d/l link?

Re: Trouble loading the new, new patch
 

OK, that worked. I backed up my custom races and pics and stuff, re-installed from the CD, then installed the new 127 patch. The History.txt file now shows four changes, instead of two, and it specifically mentions the weird armor bug.

All's well that ends well. Thanks again, Dracus and Pathy http://www.shrapnelgames.com/ubb/images/icons/icon7.gif http://www.shrapnelgames.com/ubb/images/icons/icon7.gif http://www.shrapnelgames.com/ubb/images/icons/icon7.gif

Thats strange, i had no problems downloading that b patch from shrapnel site. Have you checked your history file in SEIV main folder? It should have 4 entries in v1.27.

Again this must be a Cache issue, just clear your browser.

Re: Trouble loading the new, new patch
 

Would someone please upload the patch into the mod directory. This is as frustrating as hell. No matter what I do, I always seem to get v1.27a....ughhhhhh...
