Default Re: Gold Patch installing problem

Derb,

Unlike previous patches, v1.60 game files are not compatible with Gold v1.67.

To the best of my understanding. Here is what you need to do in order to patch your game in progress.

1) In admin options set your game turn generation to no automatic turns. Players must use v1.60. Once all player turns are uploaded...

2) Go to the admin. request forum at PBW and request that your game be upgraded to v1.67. Once they do so...

3) Generate the turn manually, the resulting turn files will be v1.67 compatible. They will not be 1.60 compatible. All players will need to patch their game to play using them.

About the patch:

In my experience it is far more "picky" than others indicate.

In my case it objected to an additional directory in my game folder created specifically for PBW saves and surprisingly to a downloaded shipsets folder.

Frankly, As someone else noted, you are best off moving all your stuff to another directory and doing a clean install of SEIV Gold before patching. Then reinstall your extras.
