Default Re: Version problems from Steam and PBW Updates

The registry is set when you run SE5.exe. All you have to do to ensure the proper copy is patched is to run it before running the patcher.

(cross-posted from SEnet) :
If you purchase a game CD, it is trivial to install multiple versions. All you have to do is make a copy of the installation (eg: in a folder named SE5 1.44), and just patch one copy. I am not aware of any way to do this with Steam, however. You could try making a copy of the Steam\SE5 folder, but I'm not sure if Steam will allow non-standard paths...

Thanks Fyron, that worked like a charm.

Captain Kwok said he would like to have a small patch for BM1.09 done around the end of this weekend, so once pbw is updated with that we should be able to continue using SEV 1.58.

Randallw, I hope your Primes aren't as nasty as Donald there! He must have been watching too much itchy and scratchy I guess.

Version upgrades on PBW are entirely dependent on how much free time the admins have to do them. (And for SEV, that basically means Geo.)

While you're waiting for PBW to be updated, the host could turn off autoprocessing and run the turns manually offline.
