Re: SE4 Deluxe Available as Download
I've been playing PBW for a month now, and never have gone through a patch on the "stock" files. Will uploading the patch cause troubles with the stock games I'm playing?

Re: SE4 Deluxe Available as Download
Generally patches don't harm pbw games so it should be a straight-forward update.

Re: SE4 Deluxe Available as Download
Sure they do. The patch that drastically altered the nature of Ionic Dispersers (no longer skip shields) caused a lot of PBW games to not upgrade. So did the one that made Allegience Subverters not work against targets with damaged Master Computers.

I thought that change was from non-gold to Gold? And wasn't that change incompatable with existing games? I could be remembering that wrong.

Re: SE4 Deluxe Available as Download
So, what I should do is wait till somebody else tries the new patch with an existing stock PBW game to see if it hangs the game. Presumably if one game works they all will work. I just don't want to get into a situation of loading a patch, finding that it does not work, then downloading and re-loading the older version back.

Re: SE4 Deluxe Available as Download
I would copy over your SEIV folder and update the copy. This way you have both versions

My comment was based along the lines of bug fixes for this patch, and not gameplay "fixes". In that case, the answer is not so clear and depends on the game. |
