The 1.2 patch doesn't seem to work!?!?!

**Zadig** · July 16, 2007, 05:13 PM

I have installed the 1.2 patch on my computer, it has been a long journey but I have done it, I've already done it on another computer but I had to do it again on this one, so first I installed it onto my mac cos my windows computer doesn't have internet, I unpacked it and put it onto a USB key, then I put the patch file into the main directory of the game but it doesn't seem to work, I have installed SV and that works fine even though you need the 1.2 patch but I have all the bugs from the vanilla version of the game and also I have not installed the 1.1 patch.

Thanks for your help Sushiman

You need to actually run the patch executable, not extract the files into the game directory.

(it's either the actual download, in most cases, or a file ending in '.exe' for compressed downloads)

But when I open it on windows I still have the french italian english versions and everything else

When you go into the options does it say 1.02 or 1.0?

Shusiman,

Assuming that you have a folder for the patch in the directory then open it to reveal each file within it. Then copy and paste each one into the Data files. Doing this should overwrite what is there and providing you don't miss any the patch will be installed. I have had to do it this way and it does work.

I'd question whether that would work, to be honest; the majority of the problems with the current patch stem from the fact that it does not in fact contain full copies of the patched files...
